The artist who talked himself out of joining Metallica
A big mistake?
Lars Ulrich
“Never less than great”: the hard rock classic Lars Ulrich loved more than anything
The absolute height of hard rock.
“We’ve got to give this a shot”: The band Lars Ulrich called the catalyst for Metallica
The forebearers of heavy metal.
“The electric energy”: Lars Ulrich names one of the greatest live records ever made
The true mark of any good performer.
The tour Lars Ulrich was most proud of playing: “That was so unprecedented”
The two biggest bands on one bill.
The Metallica lyrics Lars Ulrich insisted on changing: “Doesn’t fit the mood of the music”
A bit too dark for their standards.
