He is such a shit drummer, I can't believe he wasn't replaced before they ever recorded anything... Just imagine if they had someone like Bill Ward instead...
I worked at a local concert venue for many years, big fan . I was invited back stage for lunch before the show . Metallica were walking in in front of us , everyone aside from Jason Newsted acted like they didn’t want to be there , Jason literally walked around , introduced himself , shook hands , was just cool . The rest of the band went right to the dressing room , never even looking at anyone else .
its a metal band, not the spice girls. people dont have to interact with anyone they don't feel like interacting with; especially if you're going to do a gig or just finished one. a man should never be offended, if another man he doesnt know, does not acknowledge him. only groupies bitch about band members that didnt give them attention. Newsted was the new puppy in the band running around meeting fans.
Dude they would literally get people bugging them constantly for attention...they probably love when they don't have to interact for a change...and yeh what the guy above me said lol
Saw Lars at a bar in Chicago after a Metallica show about 10 years back. My friend and I approached him just to say good show and all that and the prick wouldn't even turn around to acknowledge our presence. Whatever, didn't hurt our feelings or anything just made us realize that all the stories are true.
@@WinterInTheForest My buddy was actually the one that really wanted to talk to him and he did tap on his shoulder to get his attention. He was probably sober a well with a bottle of water in his hand. Regardless, small bar, not a lot of people... you are a dick. He was with the singer of Machine Head btw who at least looked at us and acknowledged our presence.
"This is Lars Ulrich, the drummer of Metallica. This month he was planning to install a gold plated shark tank bar beside his pool, but thanks to people like you downloading his music, he must now wait a few months before he can afford it."
One thing you've missed was an interview with James Hetfield in Metal Hammer magazine back in 1998. They asked him 'Have you ever punched Lars out?' James replied 'Yes, I have. It was back in the early days where we got our first encore. The whole band agreed to play this cover, but when they get back on, Lars goes into a different song, and the band struggled with it. After the encore was finished, I went straight up to Lars and punched him right in the gut and I said 'Don't ever do that again'. There's been other times he's rubbed me the wrong way but I just use my size against him'
I wouldn't fuck with James Hetfield, but Lars is known for being a little bitch good drummer but his ego is reminiscent of Axl Rose's so was ironic to see Axl bitching on about him pot calling kettle black.
I've never ever hit any of my friends.. or band members. played in a lot of bands for a lot of years.. probably wanted to a couple times.. but. I've never in my life hit anyone! I wouldn't take it too good afterwards.. hurting someone. I don't even like hurting someone's feelings! that don't feel good either afterwards..
James was most likely drinking.. we do stupid things when alcoholics drink too. but still i never hit anyone.. I punched a refrigerator when I was drunk once.. lol it won!
Eddie Trunk: "Do you get along with the guys in Metallica today?" Dave Mustaine: "I get along OK with James, more than I do Lars. Then again, who doesn't?"
Jason Newstead was the greatest member of Metallica because he had the hardest shoes to fill in Cliff Burton, he had to somehow make it work knowing the other 3 members were not only grieving the loss of Cliff but, also now comparing Jason to Cliff and all of the while, Jason just did his thing. Meanwhile during Jason's tenure with the band, he was treated like an outsider. He was never really respected by the band and the fans know it. During the bands' Hall Of Fame induction, it was Jason who got the loudest crowd reaction. These guys did the same damn thing to Dave Mustaine. Screw Metallica, with their release of an album it seems like every damn decade.
And yet, they treated Newsted exceptionally fine financially-wise. In the beginning he was on a 6 month probation period where he was just an employee, but after that he got full member status getting exactly the same share as the rest of the band. If I get this right then this isn't exactly typical for the business, not even at the time.
@@Breeg2011 Sure he was paid, that's not what I am talking about. If he was an equal, the fans at their R&R HOF ceremony wouldn't have erupted so loudly. That day said a lot about James, Lars and that old lady Kirk and their character but also said a lot about Jason and his perception as an equal in that band. They hired a mediocre outcast bassist from Suicidal Tendencies and their music has gotten worse. I don't even know if they are a band anymore, they come out with a new release every decade it seems. Good riddance anyway. Slayer, Exodus and Megadeth were all better bands! To me btw, Exodus should replace Antrax as the so called big 4 and Testament should replace the pop band Metallica!
@@ArizonaGunsDave oMfG... I was with you all the way until you referred to Trujillo as half-assed, or "mediocre". You showed your hand, there. Yeesh. Robert is anything but. He may well have been surpassed these days by the likes of Corey McCormick, but to call Trujillo mediocre is asinine. And is "from Suicidal Tendencies" supposed to also invoke inferiority? Because it actually implies the opposite. Regardless, Newsted is a prince and only deserved the best on all levels. And yeah, paying the man properly barely signifies the respect he's always deserved. IMO, he deserves our highest levels of respect for walking away from that very un-rock & roll situation. 🤘
I was surprised there was a Jason Newsted segment but turns out it's not a feud at all, it's just an account of Jason being picked on by the band and Jason responding in a humble way, which seems to describe every interaction Jason has ever had
Jason left Metallica, which I think is the best thing you could do since they sucked with that LOAD shit album, then he went on... Rockstar SUPERNOVA?????
I met Lars backstage as a teen and he was cool AF. He put my glasses on for a pic and gave me money for a beer. I took the beer can to James and he signed it "Metallibrew". Jason got pissed that a guy from Candlebox signed my concert shirt where he normally signs so he put a big X over the spot and drew a long line over to another part of the shirt to sign. An awesome time...
Metallica was touring with them so take it up with Metallica. I was just collecting autographs at 17. They weren't exactly a highlight. Metallica was the highlight. I hung out with them so late that my ride fell asleep in the parking lot. lol
@@fubringbackdownvotecounts3379 That was the year that Alice in Chains had to cancel the tour and the only group available for the time slot was Candlebox. Suicidal Tendencies was the opener.
I literally just bursted out laughing at this comment. HAHHAHA sooooo trueeeeee. Everyone knows lars is a dick. But the boy can play, just sayin. But still, total ass sometimes for sure!! Lmfaooo😂
That's right. And I'm curious what happened behind closed doors on this because when Death Magnetic came out, the Foo Fighters hosted an event where tracks from the album were played and gushed over by Dave Grohl in particular. The whole Napster thing was a big deal back then but a lot of artists aren't satisfied with Spotify which does give some compensation to the artist (just not much). I think Dave just jumped on the hate train because it was good for business at the time.
By the time they hired Robert, I think Lars had really grown to be much more sober in his thinking. I think it is fair to say he is a substantially different person now that he was 30 years ago.
@@jansandman6983 saw both of them at Clash of the Titans in Baltimore in 91. What a fucking show. Alice In Chains, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer. That was the order they played too.
@@krod4278 exactly 😀, It's good that as he grew up, he became more mature and open minded. There is no much sense in holding on to ego when people gets older.
I saw Lars at an airport one time. He was leaning up against a pole. I did the whole star-struck thing to him, and he looked right threw me, without saying a word. I swear he was a hologram chewing gum
Have you ever thought from the perspective of celebrities? Maybe some celebrities don't like to be bothered by fans every ten minutes when they step on the street. Some may like it, someay not. You may think like Lars did so just for you but for him maybe there was a guy like you three minutes ag, five minutes before that, seven minutes before that. Maybe the guy just want to go through his daily life like a normal person. Just saying.
@@logic_rules he owes it to his fans to atleast acknowledge him. metallica or anyone whos ever made money from fame owes this to every fan. they wouldnt be famous or rich without those fans. it comes with the job. as someone once said, "with great power comes great responsibility." doesnt hurt to say hi back in gratitude for their millions of dollars.
@@jorgecortes6985 he does not owe you anything. Come here tell your experience when every fan stops you in the airport or on the street every few minutes. You don't know how many people like you he had dealt with that day before you saw him. You are looking from your own shoes. Try to look at it from his for a minute. Doesn't he have a right to live his daily life like a normal person without disturbed by fans every few minutes. Just because you are fan do you really think he does not have that right because he owes you? He does not owe you anything. If you dont like don't listen to his music. He does not force you to.
I saw Metallica in Hartford during AJFA tour, James and Lars had a drum battle, James kicked his butt. I never thought Lars was all that good a drummer. Being a drummer myself for 26 years, I think I know a thing or two about that. You are correct, Lars isn't even the best drummer in Metallica.
I love the part in Some Kind of Monster when Bob Rock barely runs over Lars's toe with his chair in the studio. So nice to see him in pain even if the moment is minimal lol.
It's been awhile since I watched that movie but the part where Lars speeds down Las Vegas in his fancy car complaining, maybe it was about Napster either way I was like what a blow hard! LOL :P
Kip winger always handled that situation very well. Handled it like a man and true professional. He’s a better musician than any of those guys anyhow he knows what’s up
@@smellanalan yes kip winger is far superior on any instrument that anyone in Metallica can play. Writs classical music, composed a ballet.... you should check into it. He's just a cool dude from colorado.
It's crazy how true it how Kip is an actual completely trained , read, write, compose music . Definitely knows his craft. Lars couldn't actually hold a music theory conversation with him. It's odd, but true lol
I hated how critical james and lars were of layne staley, then a couple years later james has an addiction and goes to rehab. What hypocrisy, my god...
Metallica did coke and alcohol tons even back whilst criticizing Staley, so all were drug addicts. The only difference is that Metallica stayed remained a functional machine (they would burn out evidently, Some Kind Of Monster). On the other hand it seems like Jerry Cantrell/AIC and Metallica are good friends now and set aside their differences, Metallica also sat first row during AIC's Unplugged performance I believe.
James and Lars were huge fans of AIC, they were so critical because Layne was so damn talented and unique, and the 90s heroin Seattle scene claimed way too much musical talent.
@@terryschilling5320 I understand your sentiments, and I agree with you to a certain degree. They really made fun of him in a humiliating way on stage. Imo, really despicable
According to Scott Ian, the band was planning to replace Lars after the MOP tour. Of course that was before Cliff died. I've always suspected if Cliff lived, he would have left Metallica sooner or later. By MOP, Lars was already cutting him out of songwriting and burying the bass. Who the hell would drown out Cliff Burton?
I think Cliff would have stayed because it was him and James who were planning to kick out Lars. If Lars gets kicked then James and Cliff get a lot more freedom. Crazy to think about what could have been.
@@bradleythomascolley without Lars, Metallica wouldnt be what it is today. Now days he is an avrage drummer, he was good in his early days, but in one thing he was the best of them all and its buissness side of the project. He was driving force to promote the band and earn them money. Metallica today is not the best band ever, but comercially they are at the top.
@@bradleythomascolley i dont agree with you. When you see this type of videos is easy to hate Lars. But then you listen a interview with Jonahton Zazula about Metallica beginings. And Lars was the only one who was sirius for band to succeed. Dave and James where only intrested how to get drunk, and Cliff was a shy type of guy always in the background. Lars ment buisness. And he dosen't get enough credit for making a Metallica for what is today. And I dont mean in terms of music.
@@jamesflint1477 You're assuming they would have gone through with kicking Lars out. I'm not so sure that James would. James has been Lars' doormat since the beginning. I do know that Cliff would hate the greedy overly commercialized beast they have become now.
I just finished drummer Matt Sorum's autobiography & I think Matt might be one of the only ones to be good friends with Lars. But I think drummers tend to get along.
They do! Mutual love fest! But NOT WITH THAT TWAT! BWAHHAHAA Matt has never been too discerning about who his friends are. LMAO He was besties for awhile with a super dweeb bizarro fuck who used to work for me. 😝
Don’t be ashamed of what you think- you are entitled to your opinion! And I agree with yours. Forget these jerks, clueless morons. No matter what anybody says, Matt sorum is THUNDER on drums- and so is lars.
I remember seeing a comment on a video from a guy who learned to drum from Metallica songs. When he joined his first band, they were rehearsing something from the band. The vocalist stopped playing and started laughing. Told him he definitely learned well, because he lost the beat at the exact same place as Lars.
Have you done a "Rock stars who hate Dana Strum"? Here's a small sample of what some of his peers have said about him.... "Feces with legs" - Kevin DuBrow, Quiet Riot "God bless Kevin for being both kind and generous" - Frankie Banali, Quiet Riot (when asked about Kevin's quote) ""Loves himself" - Bruce Kulick, KISS "That's one load his mother should've swallowed" - Bill Leverty, Firehouse "Gene Simmons Jr." - Paul Gargano, Editor, Metal Edge Magazine "F-ing cheap bastard" - Dennis Duncan, White Sister/Sister Whisky "Should be selling cars" - Joey C. Jones - Sweet Savage/Crabtree "Rude, unpleasant and not as cool as he thinks he is" - John Corabi, Motley Crue "F-ing assh....nice hair" - Jani Lane, Warrant "A true jerk" - Don Dokken, Dokken "His mother should've kept the placenta and thrown _him_ out" - Eric Brittingham, Cinderella
I like how when *Joey Jordison* played with Metallica, it threw James off, because he was a drummer that was fast and consistent... Something he wasn't used to.
Me seeing the name of this video "Well, this should be a pretty long one.." My only experience with Metallica is second hand, I met a guy who worked at a bar in San Francisco and he said that Metallica came in and were pretty rude, and dent even leave a tip. on the other hand, White Zombie had came in a few months later, gave him a huge tip, and even took him for a tour of thier tour bus
@@wendykalman9975 Worst ? Watch any show from 1986-1987 and even 1994, worst ? You think you create play thoses fills and arrange thoses parts for thoses songs , legendary ,By accident ? Luck ? Without knowning what he was doing ? You guys obviously don't show shit about songwriting . Also why do you think Eric Carr, Bill Ward or Carmine Appice were fan of Ulrich and calling him , elaborating as great drummer ?
AC/DC's Brian Johnson had a very cordial chat with Lars. Lars showed Brain around the studio and the map of everywhere in the world where they played. No egos. No trying to one up each other. Just two fellow rockers enjoying each others company.
Not mention Mr. Johnson is a tough, old Scotsman and he deserves respect, whatever band he might be in. I'm sure in his eyes, as nice and sweet as he is to the younger generation, Lars is a babe in arms. Thinking of Lemmy when I say those old metal dudes do not fuck around.
I feel like Brian Johnson just puts everyone into a mood to hang out and have a great ol' time. While it'll never happen, he's one of the very few bigtime rock stars I'd love to have a pint with. Brian. Not Lars.
the reason why he turned down the bass track was, he wanted his drums to sound good. because at that time he got frustrated that he can't keep up with lombardo and benante, he admitted it and was sorry he did that. he's a pretty grown and mature person now. people change.
@@jansandman6983 explains but doesn’t excuse how he treated Newstead. But yes people can change over time. Trouble is it’s hard to change fans minds once you do something like that. Be nice to think he’s a nice bloke now.
@@jamescon55 he never said he can. that's why he said he got frustrated when he was younger. now he is older he's settled for what he can do. it takes a lot of courage to swallow ones pride and said himself he ain't a good drummer. not all people are able to do that specially people with stature.
@@jamescon55 many people criticize Ulrich as a bad drummer, but most of those people haven't made it big, didn't walk the walk and lars's bad drumming is being played by lots of drummer who loves metallica.
Just a show of hands. Who would like to see that unedited footage of Dave Mustaine laying into Lars Ulrich for three hours? (Note: I am a longtime fan of both bands.)
This video is way too short! You should have also mentioned Bruce Dickenson and Iron Maiden. I saw them in the early 2000s when Bruce went on a tirade against Lars' Napster stuff, saying that Maiden will always have their music free for fans.
@@fu6817 ozzy is fucking 90 and he's still churning out awesome songs. age doesn't determine writing skill and even if what they wrote wasen't A-Class they'd still have fans listening to them.
This video has a number of editing issues. Most prominently the Axl rant has strange CC making it hard to follow. What more makes it hard to follow is the monotony of the voiceover, reading the script from top to bottom and adding video afterwards instead of having a cohesive video from the start which then gets dubbed over. I couldn't tell if what was just said was a quote, an editorial remark, a continuation of the story or if you had just started a new one. I had to go back several times. And what's going on in the ReLoad footage clips? Did you watch the video before posting? The captions say "you can only leave if we want you to leave", but the voiceover says "you can only leave if you wanna leave". Well, which one is it? Is this the general quality of this channel?
I listened to Mustaine’s conversation with Joe Rogan and he came across as a humble, down-to-earth and legit dude, also willing to acknowledge how much he can learn from mistakes. It makes me inclined to think that Ulrich is most likely to be on the wrong side of that beef between them.
Ulrich has always had a massive ego and that's the problem, Dave and James could probably sit down and make some great music together or just one track, but Ulrich with his ego and with connection to grovel to James will never let that happen
Uhh no... Mustaine was a violent drunk.. wow are you this naive? Mustaine just can't keep a stable lineup for the last 30 yrs in his band And you say he's humble??? So ignorant 😂
@ Daniel Leal The beef between them started when they were all teenagers. Dave Mustaine is in his 60s now, of course he’s going to be more mature than he was as a teenager. They’ve all grown up a lot. No one really knows what happened back then except that Dave has admitted he was an alcoholic and a drug addict and there was a lot of tension and drama within the band. I don’t know if it was the right way to dismiss him the way it went down but it sounds like it needed to happen one way of the other. and frankly it’s worked out for all parties involved. there is no way Metallica would’ve stayed together with those 3 in the band; too many egos, too many cooks in the kitchen Dave has dismissed many people in his own band too so it’s a little hypocritical to hold a grudge for 4 decades when they were all teenagers when it went down. So I disagree, I don’t think they are on the “wrong” side of the beef. There shouldn’t even be a beef at this point
@@cotopaximusic He really is not a good drummer. He was a good drummer during the early days of Metallica? Yeah, sure, but even back then he wasn't among the top, and today, he's known to suck major ass in any concert he plays.
Say what you want about Lars but he's the most important guy in the band. Every one of the big thrash bands has badass riffs because thrash riffs are naturally badass but the other bands don't have a Lars. His arrangements and putting this part between those parts and so on is what makes Metallica the best songwriters of the genre. The fact that he's not a guitarist might even help him not have any bias. PS As muchg as we fans may not like it, they were also right about Napster and Grohl is a pandering ass in this video. Grohl also made his millions by then so easy for him to say the music should be free. The musician that he describes who can't put food on his table has no money to pursue a lawsuit. It's up to the bigger guys to do it. Metallica bit the bullet and risked the unpopularity not just for them. Every band out there were hiding behind them letting them take the publicity hit.
I know it was an upset when they lost to Jethro Tull at an awards show. But he didn't take it like a sport. If you're metal, awards shows are fluff anyhow
They were right though, even Ian Anderson himself pointed out it was absurd they were selected as best metal/hard rock band of the year. I was a teenager in 89 and Metallica was like the biggest thing in the world, they totally deserved it. They could have honored Jetro Tull later, it was Metallica's time.
funny when Nikki said “Load left room for us” Load released it went #1 on the billboard while Generation Swine opened at #4 with no eyes focused on Crue’s album and the album falling further down the chart
@@xbmpr No it is not, it has aged VASTLY better. Load and Saint Anger are some of the worse albums ever. Generation Swine is a highly underrated classic.
Yep 👍 And Lars also "dumms down" his drumming for the black album and the following 90s Metallica records "to sound like Phil Rudd from ACDC." 🤨🙄 Us, REAL old school Metalheads (and Metal drummers) were like WTF?!? ...I mean, I grew up on old ACDC as they were one of my favorite bands back in the early 80s as a junior high schooler lol. But yeah, IF I WANT ACDC? I'll listen to HIGHWAY TO HELL. IF I want to listen to the METALLICA I used to love? I'll listen to their 1st 4 CDs 😎🤘🔥🤘
@@jamescon55 those are the only albums I consider Metallica the rest are Lars and James concept of what Metallica is They kicked Dave out and then lost Cliff (the real leader of the band) they haven’t ever really done anything special without them just made over produced albums for mainstream
I was involved in an MTV special he hosted called 1999 Return Of The Rock. He had the charisma of a styrofoam cup. We all ended up torturing him to the point where he left and filmed the rest of the episode outside, sitting on a stack of pallets, next to a dumpster. True story.
Met them in Denver (Master of Puppets) tour night before the show. Heard what hotel they were at and me and a buddy went to look for them. Lars was on a phone in the lobby, with a bouncer ("Tiny." a big guy) We kind of stood there tripping out. He saw us, (in our Metallica patched jean jackets) came right up to us.... we talked a bit. He said he just called a cab to go to a bar where the rest of the band were are at. Invited us to go along. We did, but were too young to enter the bar. He tried to get us in saying we were with the band etc. Bouncer said no. We ended up just hanging outside waiting. Soon James, Cliff, and Kirk came out, and Lars introduced us all to them. Making dumb jokes, like "these guys like our horrible music apparently"...etc. Rode back to hotel in the cab with Lars and "Tiny" and hung out with them all on their tour bus for a couple hours. They were all super cool to us.
@@UndergroundSkat2000 Haha.. I don’t doubt it. I saw them live four times within that time frame including Monsters of Rock 88’ in SF they were still flying back and forth doing the mixes of AJFA. So it doesn’t surprise me they were tweaking during that time. Lars just doesn’t have the technique and energy. One can’t blame age either (for example refer to someone like Danny Carey). Lars these days excludes a lot of his fills and double kicks and simplifies all over the place. That being said he and the other members have nothing to prove. They made solid albums over their time and deserve all the accolades.
I used to dislike Lars for all the above reasons but tbh I kind of warmed to him over the years for being a true metalheadthat dispite his short comings just wants to rock out as best he can!
His drumming style is so basic though. At least he doesn't try to outshine the any of the other truly brilliant musicians Metallica has had over the years.
I would love to see what Metallica could do with another drummer behind the kit for an album. I know other drummer have filled in for Lars on shows, but those who filled in for him are still playing Lars’s parts. I think it would be interesting
I don't think they would do much differently. They grew up together. Part of the way James plays is because of Lars and after so many years, that's the player he is. Kirk too. You think in terms of who your band mates are and even with a more capable drummer, it would take a while for James to think outside of the Lars box. So, all his riffs would probably be within the Lars framework. James hasn't written anything complex since AJFA. I think even a different drummer would be affected by the Metallica framework and always play in the style of Metallica. But, who knows. It would be interesting.
I would also love to see them record an album with someone else. I think Joey Jordison (RIP) was a solid example of what could be done. His fill in spot was impeccable live. Lars can get lost in songs he has played for decades when live and there are no retakes or studio engineers to fix things. Joey played true to the song, but also added things that just showed he was a head above Lars behind the kit. I bet the entire band , Trujillo in particilar would benefit.
@@bonedragon7665 I’d alike to see Chris Adler play with them for at least on a new song. Just to see how much the dynamics of the rest of the band would do.
3:53 had that tour t-shirt. Wasn't it a bootleg shirt? I bought it from a guy in the parking lot who was selling them out of the trunk of his car at the show.
Funny thing about Napster. Lars was right. Because he was advocating not just for Metallica but for any artist's right to their own intellectual property. Now we have streaming services that actively screw over artists as a business model.
"You're in Metallica now, you can't be playing other music" ....screw that. & that Napster fiasco...file sharing is how many of us discovered new music at the time. In punk rock, most punk bands had at least 2 or 3 entire songs for free download on their websites. If you liked it, you usually bought the record!
I was 12 years old,and i was hooked on Metallica,i have now 55years old,and regardless of the stories,and have their problems.Madness from childhood to retirement folies.Metallica are one the best bands,and this will probably be the music i will hear on my last breath.Let's not forget the millions or milliards they have "given" in donations to foundations of the whole world.They allowed me to go through on severals occasions, thanks you,Metallica is dust.From Quebec,sorry for my english.
I don’t understand Dave saying he’s going to always live in the shadow of Metallica with Megadeth. I love Metallica’s stuff from their old school material to the latter years, but Megadeth takes a backseat to nobody. Dave’s band has such an extensive catalog of great metal.
I remember when I used to go to a concert and the next morning go on Napster and found more than one recording from someone at the show sometimes getting to plug right into the board so you'd get great audio. I still have a few of those shows I swear I can hear myself yelling in the background (lol). Then when going to check out some new bands music to see who I'd want to see live instead I read the news how Lars needed a new gold plated bar and couldn't wait a week so took a great service away from us all. One Metallica themselves would have loved to have getting their music out to more in the past showing how much they sold out.
While I am a fan of DG, it's pretty annoying to hear a kagillionare say "I don't want to pay for music"...oh I see so a person's hard work should be free? I don't want to pay my plumber or auto mechanic either, but they offer something to me, so I pay for their service. Now music is basically free...we can listen to any band's album at any time right here, but hey you consumers enjoy your exorbitant ticket prices for live shows now. How did that free recorded music work out for you?
WHat pisses me off about Lars is how in one breath he is going on about how he hates Napster and how it was stealing their work, but fondly recalls borrowing a friends tape of Motorhead and copying it onto a blank tape. Yeah, after that interview not as big of a fan. Met Bruce Dickenson of Iron Maiden at a small show. Owner comes up and says Bruce will NOT be signing autographs. Bruce's first words were 'You all waited for me being late, so I AM going to be signing autographs!" I didn't have anything, stole the wine list and had him autograph it. He read it and was all "This is a shit list." Laughed and happily signed it.
Everyday I find a new video on here that makes me like Dave Grohl even more than I already did. Yesterday it was his speech at Lemmy's funeral and now today it's this video showing how he supported file sharing back in the day. Such a standup guy.
Most fans of rock music have shitty hearing, therefore, it would be awesome if you could caption the parts of the video that weren't recorded with pro sound (like the Axle rant; couldn't make out most of it). Just a suggestion. Cool videos
Vanity, ... definitely my favorite. So many bands are just people we do not know. All we know is because we are consumers of music. Their is no GOAT. like life, there is no normal, there is just your life. I am not a "fan" of Metallica music but millions in sales tells me, a lot... A LOT OF people dig them but dont know them. All they know is the music they consume. Tastey!
I was 1 of the few who was supporting Lars when he took on Napster. I am a musician and song writer, I'd hate to put the time into and album and have fans get that album for free. Look at all the time and money that goes into recording an album and even touring...
Exactly. The same goes for movies and tv shows. Never understood why people never got that. It's like '"Well i'm gonna be a douche an steal this just because now i can". 🙄
@J B i noticed back then when i argued to my friends that its taking money out of many peoples pay checks to download 'free' music most argued it was available to take so why shouldn't they? Now many veteran bands avoid making music cuz it wont produce the same money for everyone involved. Producers,investers,record stores,etc...
I love MetallicA, always have, and always will. But to sit back and say Lars is one of the best drummers ever would be a load of hogwash. As far as a business person, Lars is pretty good. The Napster thing was something that I had conflicting thoughts about, and I understand why they felt the need to press the issue. As we can see today, bands and musicians of every genre have to tour their asses off in order to make a living. Everyone loves free music and when you didn't have to go out and purchase a CD that was awesome lol. Tbh, I'm surprised MetallicA has made it this far in their careers. Just goes to show what being musicians means to these guys.
I’ve met Lars, and while he was cool to me, I did watch him be really rude to fans. He also got so drunk he puked in the sink of the bar bathroom. He was pretty obnoxious.
@@coreyandersson1786 my band was playing a Mon-Wed at a bar called The Gasworks, in Toronto. One night, Lars came in, with his (I think) drum tech, and was drinking heavily. I remember he had his roadie carrying a large bottle of cranberry juice, as he was drinking cran and vodka, which wasn’t common at the time. So he would order vodka on the rocks and add his own mix. Anyway, he got hammered…like I mean fall down drunk, and puked in the bathroom. He picked up the waitress ( a friend of mine) and used the worst pick-up line ever (which worked!) ‘I might need a place to crash tonight’ 🙄Meanwhile, he had a suite at the Four Seasons😂. I talked to him between sets and he was cool to me-but I saw him be rude to fans, if I’m honest. At one point, he burst out loud “I’m just here for a few drinks, leave me alone!’ to people. Which is fucked-if you’re a rock star you don’t go to the busiest rock bar in a huge city and not expect to have fans approach you-go drink at the Four Seasons, where no one gives a shit who you are, ya know? Anyway, the next night we were playing and I looked over at the bar…at saw Sebastian Bach standing there. He’s really tall and hard not to notice. Now the Gasworks was one of his old gigs, being a Toronto boy, so I decided to ask him to jam. We were playing the song LOVE SONG by Tesla, which has a long intro with no drums, so I ran over to talk to him while the band started the song. Much to my surprise, all of the members of Metallica were sitting around him. The bar was itself was on an upper level, and due to them being seated I didn’t see them from the stage. I was startled, to say the least. But I regained my composure and said “Hey, man…you guys want to get up and jam?’ That was when Kirk said ‘C’mon guys, let’s switch instruments, it’ll be fun’. I could see them entertaining the idea, and they almost did it, but then Hetfield said ‘Naah, man…we just came from rehearsal and we’ve been drinking all day’. Sebastian then said “You guys sound great, keep rocking!’ I ran back to the stage and finished the set. Afterwards I was talking to them a little and they were pretty cool. I used to play drums standing up, at least a little bit. James asked me ‘Hey man, do you ever sit down?” To which I replied ‘No, man…I’ve got bad haemorrhoids’. To which I got a laugh and a Hetfield ‘Right on”. All in all in was a cool experience. Even though they didn’t jam, which the audience wanted-our singer asked them to get onstage over the mic and the crowd went insane. But alas, it wasnt to be. They were on the Monsters Of Rock tour 1988 and used their days off for some rehearsal. And partying. That’s basically it.
@@coreyandersson1786 as I said, he was cool to me, so it was weird. Also, as a continuation of that story…there was a Guns And Roses tribute band in Toronto and the lead singer, Rusty walked up to Lars with a shot of JD. He said “welcome to Toronto!’ And handed him the drink. Lars sniffed it and said ‘What is that, Jack Daniels? Only Axl Rose drinks that shit!’ and refused the drink. He was also (apparently-I say this cause I didn’t see it) on the patio of the club and doing lines of blow right at the table! People were concerned he was gonna get thrown out, but he took the attitude of ‘I’m in a Metallica…they won’t throw me out’. And ya know what? He was right.
@@glengamble526 I thought Lars became a coke head around 95 when Load came out, but he was doing it already during the justice era. thanks for another story about Lars.
A lot of these guys seem mad they didn’t have Metallica’s success. Lars PR’ed himself to the top, it was never his playing. There’s a reason he’s worth as much as he is. He’s more of a businessman than a musician.
Agreed. While he wasn’t really the best drummer (he’s pretty mediocre for the Thrash genre even at his prime), his musical vision/determination along with his business skills/being the only extrovert in the band was were his strengths
@@Elvis_Gonzalez He found himself in the middle of a perfect storm. With the talent of the other members and the professional drive that he had, success was bound to happen.
He is a jerk. When Napster was around a 13 year old girl downloaded their music and Lars tried to sue her. She was poor and lived with her Grandfather, so he sued the Grandfather.
The only thing that kept Lars in the band was Cliffs death 💀... Cliff wanted him fired after the tour... go ahead and say I'm full of shit but I was a 16 year old Metallica fan who knew a lot about them... until the poser stage happened when I went to a concert and the energy I knew from the crowd was definitely dead.... the black album drew the posers in... I seen an 80 year old grandma with an all access pass... Ray Burton was cool as fuck... but ol Gma not too much

Absolutely a fan of his drumming. Least favorite person on the planet.

@@Torgo1969 Brave, brave, brave sir.... lolol

OMG hilarious 🤣🤣😆😆😆
I worked at a local concert venue for many years, big fan . I was invited back stage for lunch before the show . Metallica were walking in in front of us , everyone aside from Jason Newsted acted like they didn’t want to be there , Jason literally walked around , introduced himself , shook hands , was just cool . The rest of the band went right to the dressing room , never even looking at anyone else .
Wonder if Cliff Burton was alive, he'd let fame get to his head? Dude was a savage, I bet he'd still be cool.
I believe it ...
Most famous people behave like that. Jason is one of a kind he never really fit with them because he was not an egomaniac I believe
its a metal band, not the spice girls. people dont have to interact with anyone they don't feel like interacting with; especially if you're going to do a gig or just finished one. a man should never be offended, if another man he doesnt know, does not acknowledge him. only groupies bitch about band members that didnt give them attention. Newsted was the new puppy in the band running around meeting fans.
Dude they would literally get people bugging them constantly for attention...they probably love when they don't have to interact for a change...and yeh what the guy above me said lol
Saw Lars at a bar in Chicago after a Metallica show about 10 years back. My friend and I approached him just to say good show and all that and the prick wouldn't even turn around to acknowledge our presence. Whatever, didn't hurt our feelings or anything just made us realize that all the stories are true.
Yep the dude is a little insecure rat he is always so smug.
What if he didn't hear you? Lol I think the guy has actual hearing problems
@@WinterInTheForest My buddy was actually the one that really wanted to talk to him and he did tap on his shoulder to get his attention. He was probably sober a well with a bottle of water in his hand. Regardless, small bar, not a lot of people... you are a dick. He was with the singer of Machine Head btw who at least looked at us and acknowledged our presence.
@@WinterInTheForest True, he has tinnitus since he never protected his ears in the 80's.
@@Vonzura That was made quite obvious hence my post. Small bar, barely any people there. He could of at least said Hi.
"This is Lars Ulrich, the drummer of Metallica. This month he was planning to install a gold plated shark tank bar beside his pool, but thanks to people like you downloading his music, he must now wait a few months before he can afford it."
Hahaha, yeah no s**t.
Lmao. That's one of the best episodes of South Park.
Napster shit awesome.
More like a few minutes...
Finally someone gets it.
One thing you've missed was an interview with James Hetfield in Metal Hammer magazine back in 1998. They asked him 'Have you ever punched Lars out?' James replied 'Yes, I have. It was back in the early days where we got our first encore. The whole band agreed to play this cover, but when they get back on, Lars goes into a different song, and the band struggled with it. After the encore was finished, I went straight up to Lars and punched him right in the gut and I said 'Don't ever do that again'. There's been other times he's rubbed me the wrong way but I just use my size against him'
Lars seems like the biggest force behind them cutting their hair and selling out. But then James and Kirk didnt exactly resist that much either
I wouldn't fuck with James Hetfield, but Lars is known for being a little bitch good drummer but his ego is reminiscent of Axl Rose's so was ironic to see Axl bitching on about him pot calling kettle black.
I don’t know seemed like Kirk went all in on that
I've never ever hit any of my friends.. or band members. played in a lot of bands for a lot of years.. probably wanted to a couple times.. but. I've never in my life hit anyone! I wouldn't take it too good afterwards.. hurting someone. I don't even like hurting someone's feelings! that don't feel good either afterwards..
James was most likely drinking.. we do stupid things when alcoholics drink too. but still i never hit anyone.. I punched a refrigerator when I was drunk once.. lol it won!
I would really like to see a reality show with Lars, Dave Mustaine, Axel, and Nikki Six. That would be interesting to watch.
It'd be an interesting band too :D
@@liamwatson6789
A shit singer, a boring guitarist and 2 overrated, talentless drummers.
It would be a morbidly painful kind of funny to watch...
that would be fun. Dave would drop Axl and get the cops called on him, and end up in jail 😆
Dave would kick everyone's ass without being a bully. He would leave that to the rest of them
@@UndergroundSkat2000 hes not kicking Mustaines ass lol
Eddie Trunk: "Do you get along with the guys in Metallica today?"
Dave Mustaine: "I get along OK with James, more than I do Lars. Then again, who doesn't?"
“What’s an upbeat” could be an inscription on Lars’s gravestone.
Jason Newstead was the greatest member of Metallica because he had the hardest shoes to fill in Cliff Burton, he had to somehow make it work knowing the other 3 members were not only grieving the loss of Cliff but, also now comparing Jason to Cliff and all of the while, Jason just did his thing. Meanwhile during Jason's tenure with the band, he was treated like an outsider. He was never really respected by the band and the fans know it. During the bands' Hall Of Fame induction, it was Jason who got the loudest crowd reaction. These guys did the same damn thing to Dave Mustaine. Screw Metallica, with their release of an album it seems like every damn decade.
Yeah Lars and James are dicks lol
And yet, they treated Newsted exceptionally fine financially-wise. In the beginning he was on a 6 month probation period where he was just an employee, but after that he got full member status getting exactly the same share as the rest of the band. If I get this right then this isn't exactly typical for the business, not even at the time.
@@Breeg2011 Sure he was paid, that's not what I am talking about. If he was an equal, the fans at their R&R HOF ceremony wouldn't have erupted so loudly. That day said a lot about James, Lars and that old lady Kirk and their character but also said a lot about Jason and his perception as an equal in that band. They hired a mediocre outcast bassist from Suicidal Tendencies and their music has gotten worse. I don't even know if they are a band anymore, they come out with a new release every decade it seems. Good riddance anyway. Slayer, Exodus and Megadeth were all better bands! To me btw, Exodus should replace Antrax as the so called big 4 and Testament should replace the pop band Metallica!
LMFAO
@@ArizonaGunsDave oMfG... I was with you all the way until you referred to Trujillo as half-assed, or "mediocre". You showed your hand, there. Yeesh. Robert is anything but. He may well have been surpassed these days by the likes of Corey McCormick, but to call Trujillo mediocre is asinine. And is "from Suicidal Tendencies" supposed to also invoke inferiority? Because it actually implies the opposite.
Regardless, Newsted is a prince and only deserved the best on all levels. And yeah, paying the man properly barely signifies the respect he's always deserved. IMO, he deserves our highest levels of respect for walking away from that very un-rock & roll situation. 🤘
I was surprised there was a Jason Newsted segment but turns out it's not a feud at all, it's just an account of Jason being picked on by the band and Jason responding in a humble way, which seems to describe every interaction Jason has ever had
Jason left Metallica, which I think is the best thing you could do since they sucked with that LOAD shit album, then he went on... Rockstar SUPERNOVA?????
They took all their shit out on Newsted because Cliff died.
@@darklordixor Everyone had to go on knowing the world would be a better place if Lars had been in that bunk.
I met Lars backstage as a teen and he was cool AF. He put my glasses on for a pic and gave me money for a beer. I took the beer can to James and he signed it "Metallibrew". Jason got pissed that a guy from Candlebox signed my concert shirt where he normally signs so he put a big X over the spot and drew a long line over to another part of the shirt to sign. An awesome time...
?
@@asgore as we as as as as fie

Metallica was touring with them so take it up with Metallica. I was just collecting autographs at 17. They weren't exactly a highlight. Metallica was the highlight. I hung out with them so late that my ride fell asleep in the parking lot. lol

Who else really wants to see the extra 3 hours of Dave and lars in some kind of monster?
And replace all the shots of Lars with video of weasels.
I too would like to see that entire interview.
Man, the things I would do to have been there that day...
3 minutes is too much .lol
Yeah, they deleted the part that lars cried. They only put the part that Dave complaining.

Best comment ever.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I literally just bursted out laughing at this comment. HAHHAHA sooooo trueeeeee. Everyone knows lars is a dick. But the boy can play, just sayin. But still, total ass sometimes for sure!! Lmfaooo😂
Lars just played with Dave Grohl at a couple Taylor Hawkins tribute shows. That drama has been long gone and over.
That's right. And I'm curious what happened behind closed doors on this because when Death Magnetic came out, the Foo Fighters hosted an event where tracks from the album were played and gushed over by Dave Grohl in particular. The whole Napster thing was a big deal back then but a lot of artists aren't satisfied with Spotify which does give some compensation to the artist (just not much). I think Dave just jumped on the hate train because it was good for business at the time.
@@TheNwow1242 What about the Foo Fighters hosting an event to promote Death Magnetic when it came out?
Because Grohl crossed over to Lars' side of the argument
Lars ensured Rob got paid equally with the rest of the band when he got hired. That's pretty cool.
By the time they hired Robert, I think Lars had really grown to be much more sober in his thinking. I think it is fair to say he is a substantially different person now that he was 30 years ago.
@@adambenedict6155 he even admits that he got frustrated in the past because he was not as good as benante and lombardo.
@@jansandman6983 saw both of them at Clash of the Titans in Baltimore in 91. What a fucking show. Alice In Chains, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer. That was the order they played too.

Oh damn. What year was this?
LMAO
Have you ever thought from the perspective of celebrities? Maybe some celebrities don't like to be bothered by fans every ten minutes when they step on the street. Some may like it, someay not. You may think like Lars did so just for you but for him maybe there was a guy like you three minutes ag, five minutes before that, seven minutes before that. Maybe the guy just want to go through his daily life like a normal person.
Just saying.
@@logic_rules he owes it to his fans to atleast acknowledge him. metallica or anyone whos ever made money from fame owes this to every fan. they wouldnt be famous or rich without those fans. it comes with the job. as someone once said, "with great power comes great responsibility." doesnt hurt to say hi back in gratitude for their millions of dollars.
@@jorgecortes6985 he does not owe you anything. Come here tell your experience when every fan stops you in the airport or on the street every few minutes. You don't know how many people like you he had dealt with that day before you saw him. You are looking from your own shoes. Try to look at it from his for a minute.
Doesn't he have a right to live his daily life like a normal person without disturbed by fans every few minutes. Just because you are fan do you really think he does not have that right because he owes you? He does not owe you anything. If you dont like don't listen to his music. He does not force you to.
Lars starting a fight then running away and making it seems like it was awesome.
...and him having to get his dads approval on every riff. Who does he care about? Dad or the fans?
Lars is not even the best drummer in Metallica - James Hetfield
Joey Jordison
Stealing Beatles quotes now?
James is an awesome drummer.
I saw Metallica in Hartford during AJFA tour, James and Lars had a drum battle, James kicked his butt. I never thought Lars was all that good a drummer. Being a drummer myself for 26 years, I think I know a thing or two about that. You are correct, Lars isn't even the best drummer in Metallica.
So true. I've seen high school kids that are way better.
I love the part in Some Kind of Monster when Bob Rock barely runs over Lars's toe with his chair in the studio. So nice to see him in pain even if the moment is minimal lol.
Haha yeah. Seemed like he overreacted totally
It's been awhile since I watched that movie but the part where Lars speeds down Las Vegas in his fancy car complaining, maybe it was about Napster either way I was like what a blow hard! LOL :P
God that movie showed how petty and bloated they had become....boo hoooo we make millions playing music life is so hard

I hated how critical james and lars were of layne staley, then a couple years later james has an addiction and goes to rehab. What hypocrisy, my god...
the ones who live in glass houses should *NOT* throw stones & should also start getting dressed in their basements.
Metallica did coke and alcohol tons even back whilst criticizing Staley, so all were drug addicts.
The only difference is that Metallica stayed remained a functional machine (they would burn out evidently, Some Kind Of Monster).
On the other hand it seems like Jerry Cantrell/AIC and Metallica are good friends now and set aside their differences,
Metallica also sat first row during AIC's Unplugged performance I believe.
James and Lars were huge fans of AIC, they were so critical because Layne was so damn talented and unique, and the 90s heroin Seattle scene claimed way too much musical talent.
@@terryschilling5320 I understand your sentiments, and I agree with you to a certain degree. They really made fun of him in a humiliating way on stage. Imo, really despicable
According to Scott Ian, the band was planning to replace Lars after the MOP tour. Of course that was before Cliff died. I've always suspected if Cliff lived, he would have left Metallica sooner or later. By MOP, Lars was already cutting him out of songwriting and burying the bass. Who the hell would drown out Cliff Burton?
Agreed completely...
I think Cliff would have stayed because it was him and James who were planning to kick out Lars. If Lars gets kicked then James and Cliff get a lot more freedom. Crazy to think about what could have been.
@@bradleythomascolley without Lars, Metallica wouldnt be what it is today. Now days he is an avrage drummer, he was good in his early days, but in one thing he was the best of them all and its buissness side of the project.
He was driving force to promote the band and earn them money. Metallica today is not the best band ever, but comercially they are at the top.
@@bradleythomascolley i dont agree with you. When you see this type of videos is easy to hate Lars. But then you listen a interview with Jonahton Zazula about Metallica beginings. And Lars was the only one who was sirius for band to succeed. Dave and James where only intrested how to get drunk, and Cliff was a shy type of guy always in the background. Lars ment buisness. And he dosen't get enough credit for making a Metallica for what is today. And I dont mean in terms of music.
@@jamesflint1477 You're assuming they would have gone through with kicking Lars out. I'm not so sure that James would. James has been Lars' doormat since the beginning. I do know that Cliff would hate the greedy overly commercialized beast they have become now.

I just finished drummer Matt Sorum's autobiography & I think Matt might be one of the only ones to be good friends with Lars. But I think drummers tend to get along.
Stephen Adler got along well with Lars too
And he and Sebastian Bach are close as well…
They do! Mutual love fest! But NOT WITH THAT TWAT! BWAHHAHAA
Matt has never been too discerning about who his friends are. LMAO He was besties for awhile with a super dweeb bizarro fuck who used to work for me. 😝
Lars and Jerry Cantrell are good friends.
Don’t be ashamed of what you think- you are entitled to your opinion! And I agree with yours. Forget these jerks, clueless morons. No matter what anybody says, Matt sorum is THUNDER on drums- and so is lars.
Lars, David Lee Roth, Gene Simmons and Dave Navarro should start a band. Then they could turn it into a reality show on A&E.🤣
Band name would be the Richard heads
Please do one of these types of videos about Glenn Danzig. It will probably be a few hours long but would still be interesting.

That little puke is much easier to ignore tho. 😂
Yeah, what about Axel Rose...does anyone like him? I can't stand the whiny beeyatch..
I remember seeing a comment on a video from a guy who learned to drum from Metallica songs. When he joined his first band, they were rehearsing something from the band. The vocalist stopped playing and started laughing. Told him he definitely learned well, because he lost the beat at the exact same place as Lars.

The tales about how he demanded Jason’s bass to be turned down which are another story put me off him years ago.
Control freak.
the reason why he turned down the bass track was, he wanted his drums to sound good. because at that time he got frustrated that he can't keep up with lombardo and benante, he admitted it and was sorry he did that. he's a pretty grown and mature person now. people change.

This video has a number of editing issues. Most prominently the Axl rant has strange CC making it hard to follow. What more makes it hard to follow is the monotony of the voiceover, reading the script from top to bottom and adding video afterwards instead of having a cohesive video from the start which then gets dubbed over. I couldn't tell if what was just said was a quote, an editorial remark, a continuation of the story or if you had just started a new one. I had to go back several times. And what's going on in the ReLoad footage clips? Did you watch the video before posting? The captions say "you can only leave if we want you to leave", but the voiceover says "you can only leave if you wanna leave". Well, which one is it? Is this the general quality of this channel?

The fact Metallica thought about firing Lars is all you need to know
Lars had a toilet fashioned after himself, because people Always shit on him & he takes it.
I listened to Mustaine’s conversation with Joe Rogan and he came across as a humble, down-to-earth and legit dude, also willing to acknowledge how much he can learn from mistakes. It makes me inclined to think that Ulrich is most likely to be on the wrong side of that beef between them.
Ulrich has always had a massive ego and that's the problem, Dave and James could probably sit down and make some great music together or just one track, but Ulrich with his ego and with connection to grovel to James will never let that happen
Uhh no... Mustaine was a violent drunk.. wow are you this naive? Mustaine just can't keep a stable lineup for the last 30 yrs in his band And you say he's humble??? So ignorant 😂
@@michealrosen All three of them have massive egos, make no mistake
@ Daniel Leal The beef between them started when they were all teenagers. Dave Mustaine is in his 60s now, of course he’s going to be more mature than he was as a teenager. They’ve all grown up a lot. No one really knows what happened back then except that Dave has admitted he was an alcoholic and a drug addict and there was a lot of tension and drama within the band. I don’t know if it was the right way to dismiss him the way it went down but it sounds like it needed to happen one way of the other. and frankly it’s worked out for all parties involved. there is no way Metallica would’ve stayed together with those 3 in the band; too many egos, too many cooks in the kitchen
Dave has dismissed many people in his own band too so it’s a little hypocritical to hold a grudge for 4 decades when they were all teenagers when it went down. So I disagree, I don’t think they are on the “wrong” side of the beef. There shouldn’t even be a beef at this point
Look how many musicians have been in megadeth over the years compared to Metallica and you think mustaine is a ray of sunshine? Lol
Holy smokes! Time flies! 2001 when Jason left?!! Seems like only a few years ago!!
*HE FUCKING LEFT THE BAND*
Almost all of metallica dislikes him including dave mustaine and Jason 💀
The length of War and Peace pales in comparison to the list of people who dislike Lars. Is he a good drummer? Yes. Is he a complete tool? Also yes.
he is not and never was a good drummer
@@cotopaximusic He really is not a good drummer. He was a good drummer during the early days of Metallica? Yeah, sure, but even back then he wasn't among the top, and today, he's known to suck major ass in any concert he plays.
Say what you want about Lars but he's the most important guy in the band. Every one of the big thrash bands has badass riffs because thrash riffs are naturally badass but the other bands don't have a Lars. His arrangements and putting this part between those parts and so on is what makes Metallica the best songwriters of the genre. The fact that he's not a guitarist might even help him not have any bias.
PS As muchg as we fans may not like it, they were also right about Napster and Grohl is a pandering ass in this video. Grohl also made his millions by then so easy for him to say the music should be free. The musician that he describes who can't put food on his table has no money to pursue a lawsuit. It's up to the bigger guys to do it. Metallica bit the bullet and risked the unpopularity not just for them. Every band out there were hiding behind them letting them take the publicity hit.
Which, once again, showed the guts Lars has. He always had the fuckin balls to pursue what he believed was right. Dave Grohl is an ass kisser.
I know it was an upset when they lost to Jethro Tull at an awards show. But he didn't take it like a sport. If you're metal, awards shows are fluff anyhow
They were right though, even Ian Anderson himself pointed out it was absurd they were selected as best metal/hard rock band of the year. I was a teenager in 89 and Metallica was like the biggest thing in the world, they totally deserved it. They could have honored Jetro Tull later, it was Metallica's time.
funny when Nikki said “Load left room for us” Load released it went #1 on the billboard while Generation Swine opened at #4 with no eyes focused on Crue’s album and the album falling further down the chart
But lets be honest, Generation Swine is the better album and has aged a lot better than Load.
@@barrywallace2744 absolutely not!!
@@barrywallace2744 just blatantly false lol
@@xbmpr No it is not, it has aged VASTLY better. Load and Saint Anger are some of the worse albums ever. Generation Swine is a highly underrated classic.
@@sentientcloroxbottle1557 Yes absolutely true.
Good on Dave Grohl for his stance on Napster 🤘🏻😁
Lars makes it work for Metallica, I doubt he could cover for someone else in a different band. Jason Newsted was the best guy in Metallica
As a person, could agree, but do think Cliff was the best musician of them all.
Lars talks bad about Motley Crue then listens to Dr Feelgood does everything he can to make Metallica sound like Motley Crue
They even hired Dr. Feelgood producer Bob Rock.
Yep 👍 And Lars also "dumms down" his drumming for the black album and the following 90s Metallica records "to sound like Phil Rudd from ACDC." 🤨🙄 Us, REAL old school Metalheads (and Metal drummers) were like WTF?!? ...I mean, I grew up on old ACDC as they were one of my favorite bands back in the early 80s as a junior high schooler lol. But yeah, IF I WANT ACDC? I'll listen to HIGHWAY TO HELL. IF I want to listen to the METALLICA I used to love? I'll listen to their 1st 4 CDs 😎🤘🔥🤘
@@jamescon55 those are the only albums I consider Metallica the rest are Lars and James concept of what Metallica is
They kicked Dave out and then lost Cliff (the real leader of the band) they haven’t ever really done anything special without them just made over produced albums for mainstream
Axl Rose is the biggest Karen in rock music
Should have a douche named after him.
Him, and Lars.
Ivan Moody: Hold my beer 🤣
Nikki Sixxx too
Fred Durst
I was involved in an MTV special he hosted called 1999 Return Of The Rock. He had the charisma of a styrofoam cup. We all ended up torturing him to the point where he left and filmed the rest of the episode outside, sitting on a stack of pallets, next to a dumpster. True story.
that was the weekend you spent in the back alley, and had to get your stomach pumped on Monday
@@strangevisions5162 what?!
Yeah, I was next to Strange Visions in the hospital. They were removing a squirrel that was lodged in his colon.
What do MTV, Lars Ulrich, and a dumpster have in common? They are full of the same contents.
Dave Mustaine is so badass, he got kicked out of metallica for being too badass.
Met them in Denver (Master of Puppets) tour night before the show. Heard what hotel they were at and me and a buddy went to look for them. Lars was on a phone in the lobby, with a bouncer ("Tiny." a big guy) We kind of stood there tripping out. He saw us, (in our Metallica patched jean jackets) came right up to us.... we talked a bit. He said he just called a cab to go to a bar where the rest of the band were are at. Invited us to go along. We did, but were too young to enter the bar. He tried to get us in saying we were with the band etc. Bouncer said no. We ended up just hanging outside waiting. Soon James, Cliff, and Kirk came out, and Lars introduced us all to them. Making dumb jokes, like "these guys like our horrible music apparently"...etc. Rode back to hotel in the cab with Lars and "Tiny" and hung out with them all on their tour bus for a couple hours. They were all super cool to us.
And justice for all was Lars shining moment as a drummer.
Period.
😄😄😄
Agree, too bad he could never keep that technique and energy up after that album.
I agree
@@zombum possibly chemically enhanced
@@UndergroundSkat2000 Haha.. I don’t doubt it. I saw them live four times within that time frame including Monsters of Rock 88’ in SF they were still flying back and forth doing the mixes of AJFA. So it doesn’t surprise me they were tweaking during that time. Lars just doesn’t have the technique and energy. One can’t blame age either (for example refer to someone like Danny Carey). Lars these days excludes a lot of his fills and double kicks and simplifies all over the place. That being said he and the other members have nothing to prove. They made solid albums over their time and deserve all the accolades.
I used to dislike Lars for all the above reasons but tbh I kind of warmed to him over the years for being a true metalheadthat dispite his short comings just wants to rock out as best he can!
His drumming style is so basic though. At least he doesn't try to outshine the any of the other truly brilliant musicians Metallica has had over the years.
@@tonynussbaum ye as i drummer i have zero respect for
Him 😅
I would love to see what Metallica could do with another drummer behind the kit for an album.
I know other drummer have filled in for Lars on shows, but those who filled in for him are still playing Lars’s parts.
I think it would be interesting
I don't think they would do much differently. They grew up together. Part of the way James plays is because of Lars and after so many years, that's the player he is. Kirk too. You think in terms of who your band mates are and even with a more capable drummer, it would take a while for James to think outside of the Lars box. So, all his riffs would probably be within the Lars framework. James hasn't written anything complex since AJFA. I think even a different drummer would be affected by the Metallica framework and always play in the style of Metallica. But, who knows. It would be interesting.
I would also love to see them record an album with someone else. I think Joey Jordison (RIP) was a solid example of what could be done. His fill in spot was impeccable live. Lars can get lost in songs he has played for decades when live and there are no retakes or studio engineers to fix things. Joey played true to the song, but also added things that just showed he was a head above Lars behind the kit. I bet the entire band , Trujillo in particilar would benefit.
@@bonedragon7665 I’d alike to see Chris Adler play with them for at least on a new song. Just to see how much the dynamics of the rest of the band would do.
I would never wish any harm to Lars, but I always said if it had been him instead of Cliff, Metallica would have been forced to find a better drummer.
@@willthompson3573 I 100% agree. I doubt a new drummer would have gotten the same treatment Jason received either.
Wow. People dislike Lars? I’ve never heard this before. Breaking News for sure!!!
When you have 300m in the bank, Who cares what anyone thinks outside of the band
3:53 had that tour t-shirt. Wasn't it a bootleg shirt? I bought it from a guy in the parking lot who was selling them out of the trunk of his car at the show.
Funny thing about Napster. Lars was right. Because he was advocating not just for Metallica but for any artist's right to their own intellectual property. Now we have streaming services that actively screw over artists as a business model.
facts
"You're in Metallica now, you can't be playing other music" ....screw that.
& that Napster fiasco...file sharing is how many of us discovered new music at the time. In punk rock, most punk bands had at least 2 or 3 entire songs for free download on their websites. If you liked it, you usually bought the record!
You forgot how Lars stole the name Metallica.
I was 12 years old,and i was hooked on Metallica,i have now 55years old,and regardless of the stories,and have their problems.Madness from childhood to retirement folies.Metallica are one the best bands,and this will probably be the music i will hear on my last breath.Let's not forget the millions or milliards they have "given" in donations to foundations of the whole world.They allowed me to go through on severals occasions, thanks you,Metallica is dust.From Quebec,sorry for my english.
@@kevinpaulboucher Bros a time traveler
brother, music is universal. make No apologies for how you speak, *pour tu*
So you are a Metallica fan before Metallica formed... That's interesting
I don’t understand Dave saying he’s going to always live in the shadow of Metallica with Megadeth. I love Metallica’s stuff from their old school material to the latter years, but Megadeth takes a backseat to nobody. Dave’s band has such an extensive catalog of great metal.
Even Lars secretly hates Lars.
Lars doesnt cast a shadow, in fear of it being taken to court for unlawful copyright infringement.
I remember when I used to go to a concert and the next morning go on Napster and found more than one recording from someone at the show sometimes getting to plug right into the board so you'd get great audio. I still have a few of those shows I swear I can hear myself yelling in the background (lol). Then when going to check out some new bands music to see who I'd want to see live instead I read the news how Lars needed a new gold plated bar and couldn't wait a week so took a great service away from us all. One Metallica themselves would have loved to have getting their music out to more in the past showing how much they sold out.
While I am a fan of DG, it's pretty annoying to hear a kagillionare say "I don't want to pay for music"...oh I see so a person's hard work should be free? I don't want to pay my plumber or auto mechanic either, but they offer something to me, so I pay for their service. Now music is basically free...we can listen to any band's album at any time right here, but hey you consumers enjoy your exorbitant ticket prices for live shows now. How did that free recorded music work out for you?
WHat pisses me off about Lars is how in one breath he is going on about how he hates Napster and how it was stealing their work, but fondly recalls borrowing a friends tape of Motorhead and copying it onto a blank tape.
Yeah, after that interview not as big of a fan. Met Bruce Dickenson of Iron Maiden at a small show. Owner comes up and says Bruce will NOT be signing autographs. Bruce's first words were 'You all waited for me being late, so I AM going to be signing autographs!" I didn't have anything, stole the wine list and had him autograph it. He read it and was all "This is a shit list." Laughed and happily signed it.
Imagine actually thinking Dave Mustaine doesn't like Lars. He loves the guy.
Everyday I find a new video on here that makes me like Dave Grohl even more than I already did. Yesterday it was his speech at Lemmy's funeral and now today it's this video showing how he supported file sharing back in the day. Such a standup guy.
This was a good watch, thanks for putting it together Luv.
But what does Corey Taylor think about Lars
Lars, metals favorite tiny, angry Danish.
More of a cupcake than a Danish
Come now ,you don't have to be a rockstar not to like lars ,i think its something we can all shares.
a video called who likes Lars would be quicker
Most fans of rock music have shitty hearing, therefore, it would be awesome if you could caption the parts of the video that weren't recorded with pro sound (like the Axle rant; couldn't make out most of it). Just a suggestion. Cool videos
Vanity, ... definitely my favorite. So many bands are just people we do not know. All we know is because we are consumers of music. Their is no GOAT. like life, there is no normal, there is just your life. I am not a "fan" of Metallica music but millions in sales tells me, a lot... A LOT OF people dig them but dont know them. All they know is the music they consume. Tastey!
Wow incredible editing to get this video down to only 13 minutes !!!!
This is kinda like a school yard fight at a special school
Yep, Burt, Dave and Jason are the only two worth mentioning.
I was 1 of the few who was supporting Lars when he took on Napster. I am a musician and song writer, I'd hate to put the time into and album and have fans get that album for free. Look at all the time and money that goes into recording an album and even touring...
Exactly. The same goes for movies and tv shows. Never understood why people never got that. It's like '"Well i'm gonna be a douche an steal this just because now i can". 🙄
Plus he shouldn’t have to wait to get that gold plated shark tank bar
@J B i noticed back then when i argued to my friends that its taking money out of many peoples pay checks to download 'free' music most argued it was available to take so why shouldn't they? Now many veteran bands avoid making music cuz it wont produce the same money for everyone involved. Producers,investers,record stores,etc...
You're supposed to lick a boot, not deep throat, beta.
Well….maybe you shouldn’t claim to be “fans that started a band” then sue 10 year old girls because you got your feels hurt😢
I just don't understand that when Dave Mustaine punched James, why couldn't he have punched Lars, also??
Fun fact, Cliff wanted Lars replaced.
@Ehsan Farham Or was it Kirk?🤔
@Ehsan Farham they both kinda suck... 🤣
Metallica lost their heart with Cliff. RIP
@@martharunstheworld he was the bands collective "balls"
Especially after Mustaines departure
Funny how someone's always the greatest musician ever as soon as they've died.
I love MetallicA, always have, and always will. But to sit back and say Lars is one of the best drummers ever would be a load of hogwash. As far as a business person, Lars is pretty good. The Napster thing was something that I had conflicting thoughts about, and I understand why they felt the need to press the issue. As we can see today, bands and musicians of every genre have to tour their asses off in order to make a living. Everyone loves free music and when you didn't have to go out and purchase a CD that was awesome lol. Tbh, I'm surprised MetallicA has made it this far in their careers. Just goes to show what being musicians means to these guys.
I always think about that scene from Get Him To The Greek.
"Oh,why don't you go sue Napster, you Danish little bitch!?"
Wait ... there are rockstars who CAN stand Lars Ulrich? O_o
Ironically, they bashed Motley Crue yet the idea to bring on Bob Rock for the Black Album was because they liked the production of Dr. Feelgood
I’ve met Lars, and while he was cool to me, I did watch him be really rude to fans. He also got so drunk he puked in the sink of the bar bathroom. He was pretty obnoxious.
where and when? tell the whole story man
@@coreyandersson1786 my band was playing a Mon-Wed at a bar called The Gasworks, in Toronto. One night, Lars came in, with his (I think) drum tech, and was drinking heavily. I remember he had his roadie carrying a large bottle of cranberry juice, as he was drinking cran and vodka, which wasn’t common at the time. So he would order vodka on the rocks and add his own mix. Anyway, he got hammered…like I mean fall down drunk, and puked in the bathroom. He picked up the waitress ( a friend of mine) and used the worst pick-up line ever (which worked!) ‘I might need a place to crash tonight’ 🙄Meanwhile, he had a suite at the Four Seasons😂. I talked to him between sets and he was cool to me-but I saw him be rude to fans, if I’m honest. At one point, he burst out loud “I’m just here for a few drinks, leave me alone!’ to people. Which is fucked-if you’re a rock star you don’t go to the busiest rock bar in a huge city and not expect to have fans approach you-go drink at the Four Seasons, where no one gives a shit who you are, ya know?
Anyway, the next night we were playing and I looked over at the bar…at saw Sebastian Bach standing there. He’s really tall and hard not to notice. Now the Gasworks was one of his old gigs, being a Toronto boy, so I decided to ask him to jam. We were playing the song LOVE SONG by Tesla, which has a long intro with no drums, so I ran over to talk to him while the band started the song. Much to my surprise, all of the members of Metallica were sitting around him. The bar was itself was on an upper level, and due to them being seated I didn’t see them from the stage. I was startled, to say the least. But I regained my composure and said “Hey, man…you guys want to get up and jam?’ That was when Kirk said ‘C’mon guys, let’s switch instruments, it’ll be fun’. I could see them entertaining the idea, and they almost did it, but then Hetfield said ‘Naah, man…we just came from rehearsal and we’ve been drinking all day’. Sebastian then said “You guys sound great, keep rocking!’ I ran back to the stage and finished the set. Afterwards I was talking to them a little and they were pretty cool. I used to play drums standing up, at least a little bit. James asked me ‘Hey man, do you ever sit down?” To which I replied ‘No, man…I’ve got bad haemorrhoids’. To which I got a laugh and a Hetfield ‘Right on”.
All in all in was a cool experience. Even though they didn’t jam, which the audience wanted-our singer asked them to get onstage over the mic and the crowd went insane. But alas, it wasnt to be. They were on the Monsters Of Rock tour 1988 and used their days off for some rehearsal. And partying.
That’s basically it.
@@glengamble526 great story, yeah by 1988 Lars had a huge ego i can imagine.
@@coreyandersson1786 as I said, he was cool to me, so it was weird. Also, as a continuation of that story…there was a Guns And Roses tribute band in Toronto and the lead singer, Rusty walked up to Lars with a shot of JD. He said “welcome to Toronto!’ And handed him the drink. Lars sniffed it and said ‘What is that, Jack Daniels? Only Axl Rose drinks that shit!’ and refused the drink. He was also (apparently-I say this cause I didn’t see it) on the patio of the club and doing lines of blow right at the table! People were concerned he was gonna get thrown out, but he took the attitude of ‘I’m in a Metallica…they won’t throw me out’. And ya know what? He was right.
@@glengamble526 I thought Lars became a coke head around 95 when Load came out, but he was doing it already during the justice era. thanks for another story about Lars.
I was surprised at how short the list was. It’s shorter than I expected
A lot of these guys seem mad they didn’t have Metallica’s success. Lars PR’ed himself to the top, it was never his playing. There’s a reason he’s worth as much as he is. He’s more of a businessman than a musician.
Agreed. While he wasn’t really the best drummer (he’s pretty mediocre for the Thrash genre even at his prime), his musical vision/determination along with his business skills/being the only extrovert in the band was were his strengths
@@Elvis_Gonzalez He found himself in the middle of a perfect storm. With the talent of the other members and the professional drive that he had, success was bound to happen.
Doesn't everybody?
Do fans of Lars even exist?
Yeah they do, he’s my favourite drummer and yes I am a drummer myself
Yeah, his fan’s name is Lars.. Lars is good for what Metallic does…
He got Metallica together and he's on some of the most influential metal records ever so he'll always have some level of respect with me.
He is a jerk. When Napster was around a 13 year old girl downloaded their music and Lars tried to sue her. She was poor and lived with her Grandfather, so he sued the Grandfather.
The only thing that kept Lars in the band was Cliffs death 💀... Cliff wanted him fired after the tour... go ahead and say I'm full of shit but I was a 16 year old Metallica fan who knew a lot about them... until the poser stage happened when I went to a concert and the energy I knew from the crowd was definitely dead.... the black album drew the posers in... I seen an 80 year old grandma with an all access pass... Ray Burton was cool as fuck... but ol Gma not too much
I don't own or listen to anything of them after the black album
I will listen to Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax.... but if Metallica comes on I leave.
I know it’s been said but the list for rock stars who like Lars would be a lot easier to do 😂
