Would Metallica songs be better if Lars used his ride cymbal more?
I’m mainly talking about Master of Puppets and beyond. Lars did use his ride cymbal in Kill Em’ All and Ride the Lightning. I’m just wondering why Lars gave his ride cymbal up on later albums. Imagine if he used his ride as equally as he used his hi-hat. Imagine what songs like “Battery”, “Dyers Eve”, “Enter Sandman”, “or “That Was Just Your Life” would sound like with more ride cymbal. Lars used the ride cymbal in this songs: – Disposable Heroes – Hit the Lights – No Remorse – Whiplash – Metal Militia – Motorbreath – The Four Horsemen – Seek & Destroy – Phantom Lord – Welcome Home (Sanitarium) – Fight Fire With Fire – The Call of Ktulu – Ride the Lightning – Hero of the Day – Until It Sleeps – Mama Said – Bleeding Me – Where the Wild Things Are Currently he replace his ride cymbal for a china cymbal.
