I get it. You're easily amused and would probably enjoy anything with a lot of thumping. Your enjoyment isn't the issue here. It's a dodge, it's an apology, it's not an argument that Lars is good, or even that he isn't crap. Linkin Park fans probably find Chester to be enjoyable, too. That doesn't make him a great singer. It just means a bunch of fanboys will listen to what's put in front of them.

So you have no discretion and no sense of rhythm. That's fine. But that's not a defense.

Back to "mistakes." Once is a mistake. Twice, even. Three times, maybe. Everybody screws up in concert. But Lars is the guy who can't play Dyer's Eve live, though Tribute bands can. Lars can't keep a tempo very long in any live recording I've seen/heard. His rhythms go all over the place, and he's unable to maintain even simple four patterns. I say simple because every drummer in the business except for Lars Ulrich and Meg White seem able to do it.

When you're off something like 50% of the time over multiple nights, and these are the concerts that are fit to be released, there is something horribly, horribly wrong here.

And your only response? Fanboyism.

In other words...

Who are your top 5 favourite bands?
