Great, here we go again... look pal, I don't want any more of this flagging me as everyone's gravest enemy on the forum, but Lars definitely is not the greatest drummer in the world. In fact, he's really nowhere even close to being the greatest drummer in the world. Now that does not immediately mean that you should stop listening to the band itself, because when the band is complete, with the other more musically capable members - it is a whole different story. As a whole, Metallica is a great band. Once the band members are analyzed individually, you tend to figure stuff out. My point was about Lars, the not-so-good drummer, not the entire band and definitely not other bands I never even mentioned.
Perhaps I should suggest a couple of bands where the drummer is a vital part of the music and is very well close to being the greatest drummer in the world? It would only make me feel better. But I'd only do it if requested.
