Respectfully, how? Lars can’t drum anymore and hasn’t even tried for the past 20 years, James keeps trying to hit sing notes he can no longer hit and it’s embarrassing, and Kirk checked out a while ago and his solos now are just spamming the wah pedal. They haven’t released a halfway decent album in 18 years, and now are also trying to “both sides” everything too
Lars couldn’t drum in the first place. No one likes Metallica for the vocals. Kirk at 50% is still more entertaining and more interesting as a player than 99% of rock guitarists on stages in 2026. “They” aren’t trying to both sides anything. James is. James is an asshole, and he’s always been an asshole. Nothing new there, either. So either you were dumb all along or you’re a bot.
