There is no way that you're not trolling.

Haha--I said when I first posted in the "unpopular opinions" thread that I could just post there all the time.

That's typically from folks who think that good drumming, especially in a metal context, is being able to play stuff like 32nd note @ 140 bpm "blast beats" (with feet playing 32nd notes) more or less robotically, as if gymnastic/track ability is what makes a good musician.

His drumming is cheesy and too mainlined. They might as well just use a metronome and have a guy at the ready for the occasional fill. I typically don't go mad over drummers who keep the beat steady on a single drum (as opposed to diversifying across the kit while maintaining the same beat).

I don't know what "cheesy" and "mainlined" would amount to for you, exactly, but the rest of your comment doesn't really make sense given what he plays on tunes like, say, "And Justice for All" or "Harvester of Sorrow."

He's like the Ringo Starr of metal on that album (which is a good thing; Ringo was a fantastic drummer, with a very unusual approach). Unless you're just talking about the tune I posted from the new album.
What made Ringo unique was that he was left-handed but played drums right-handed.
I can't say anything bad about Lars cause I refuse to listen to Meatillica or other mainstream rubbish.

Harvester of Sorrow depicts what I described perfectly. He also doesn't live up to the rest of the band (apart from Hammett's wah pedal), he just seems to do the bare minimum of what's required of him, or at least that's what it sounds like to me.

And the metronome comment seems particularly odd, because Lars doesn't at all have a metronomic sense of time on a fine-grained scale. He rather has a very unusual, quite loose sense of time that ebbs and flows in its details similar to Ringo and Carl Palmer, say. That's one of the things I like about him a lot. That doesn't mean that he doesn't keep steady time on a broader scale, but it breathes.

OMG what a fascinating pointless factoid!
