take it youve never seen metallica live...ive only seen em live 3 times, and every time lars seemed to loose the beat on at least 2 songs (S&M) it was constant...youd see michael cayman (sp) look back with a look like, "Wtf...this drummer has lost his mind...play the music and keep your tounge in your mouth."
watched the second vid...remember a line someone told me in high school. If you are looking for God...find John Petrucci with a guitar in his hands....he will show you the way.
