This really highlights how much a drummer can influence the sound of a band. Metallica has not sounded this good in decades

[christophermerlot]

I love that Dave sits in for another band and then completely drives the tempo. "This song is mine now and it wasn't fast enough."

[death]

James's smile is playing Battery at Album tempo for the first time in 30 years.

[MrAndrebatera]

That kit sure walked funny after the concert...lol

[duncanmccockiner]

That drum kit is gonna think about Dave everytime Lars plays it.

[drankurbaruah]

What James said: Aahahaha..

What James meant: This is fucking awesome!!!

[Skycladatdusk]

4:38 It was at this moment James realizes he now has the rhythm section he's always wanted.

[LeVezz]

They're so used that Lars butchers the 3:48 come back part that the band is early and Lombardo is perfectly in time, because he knows how to count the 4 times bar and finishes the phrase beautifully, even leaves a clear space to reintroduce the verse. VERY PRO.

[tysiudamasceno]

It's amazing how the whole band sound tighter with a drummer that keeps the tempo.

[A_Final_Hit]

It's a scientific fact that Dave Lombardo's drumming makes everything 812% better. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[itzamia]

You know Robert Trujillo was loving it. He's playing with Metallica and a member of Slayer. Dude must of been pumped!

[SaintJaymann]

Kirk Hammett was under so much pressure from Lombardo being there that he NAILED THE SOLO DEAD ACCURATE ☠️ 😂

[jacqueslapidieux]

Relentless attack from Lombardo, really keeping the band on its toes. That double kick-drum is just next level, and yet it feels like he's barely pushing himself...Monster!

[headlessptomist]

I love the expression on Daves face at 2:09, it was kind of like "I knew these guys still had it" smile.

[tommypoopums]

The fact that Dave isn't fully aware of the breaks and timings somehow makes it more impressive - because it shows he really did wing it with no time to prepare. Even when he gets them wrong his ability to recover is inhuman. Absolute legend.

[waltertrenes]

Battery with Dave Lombardo sounds much brutal!!!

[chrisquinn]

Hearing Dave ultra confident double bass work on that was really something

[blakkno]

I was there.... Metallica sounding the best since 1989... Even james had a massive grin at how devastating lombardo was...

[Ligma-Peavey]

Dave winged that but still completely kicked its ass..those double kicks were so powerful and accurate..made the whole song sound way better!

[dambo]

I was there that night. It took Metallica to a whole new level for me with Dave on the drums, every hit of that snare felt like I was on the receiving end of a prime Mike Tyson right hand to the chest.
