Seriously, how can you hate the guy? I'm very grateful for Lars, without him we'd be missing out on some of the best music that's come out in the last 35 years.
lol
Triple M, you have some great stuff on your channel as well. Keep it up!
Douch
Yeah, exactly. Lars Ulrich is a very intelligent man. Brains and success are traits many failed bands/musical acts lacked in the industry. The four horsemen are truly a force to be reckoned with. Thank God for them as unreal humans and the music they play for the millions of fans. Long live Metallica 💖💖💖💖
That's it without Lars Metallica would never of happened.
It use to annoy me listening to Lars..this is the best I've ever heard Lars..his attitude about everything is just awesome
Seems he has finally chilled out a bit. He seems pretty likeable now. A good interview can't hurt either.
same
He dropped the cocaine a while back, that could be it.
Everyone grows up.
Interviewer was actually really good and tossed some great bones Lars’ way. If you see a great interview, ALWAYS remember there is a great interviewer behind it. He knew his stuff but was not a total fan boy. He did his job really well.
Lars is awesome. Charismatic , smart and legendary.
Lars is smart. Really smart. Always a pleasure listening to what he has to say.
Scipiuz Smart enough to get Metallica on a compilation album before the band was even formed
This has to be one of the best interviews ever made to a Metallica member, great questions, not the same thing asked over and over again in several other interviews; also, you get to see Lars being able to elaborate his answers while the interviewer listens. Great stuff!.
Thank you!
J. P. Monge S. James went on Joe Rogen's podcast and that was a really great interview too! But these interviews are always great. The Noel Gallagher one is great too
Lars, you are a fucking legend! You are the reason I started learning music.
Metallica saved my life when I was in deep depression too. Goddamn I am in your debt forever.
Napster talk is at 27:44 for those interested.
NAPSTER! NAPSTER! NAPSTER OF PUPPETS I'M PULLING YOUR STRIIIIIIINGS!
Haha get it? Master, Napster?
Haha
Ha
I need friends
Ok leaving
Thankyou!!!!
Thank you
@@th6n Hehe...
Thank you so much
I may be in the minority here but I never held anger over the Napster situation and Metallica. Napster was legitimately stealing music from the artists without permission or copy-write. This was a new thing at the time. Metallica's reaction to this I personally thought was always honorable. It's ironic how the same musicians these days SCREAMING how they deserve to get paid for their songs and their performances are the same ones who like to bash Lars for taking on Napster.
One has to feel pretty sympathetic about the Napster situation from their point of view. I mean, they wrote all their music and mixed and produced their first four albums themselves. So, they put a lot of work in to their own efforts and yet a bunch of empty suit executives were taking a bigger cut from record sales and concert tours. Now that Metallica has control of their own brand, they don't have to worry about the empty suits taking most of the profit of their hard work.
Yep. He could not have been more in the right.
I never thought Lars/Metallica were wrong for going after Napster, it was the execution that I didn't like so much, he should never have gone after the fans (i.e. had pages and pages with usernames of people who download the music), he should have strictly attacked the organization. Prior to online music sharing, the underground tape trade was how MANY people found Metallica in the 1st place as and Metallica encouraged that.
never be judgey
ben scott "Napster was legitimately* stealing music from the artists without permission or copy-write."
Not quite sure what you mean by "legitimately". The word means:
legitimately
adverb
1.
in a way that conforms to the law or to rules.
Stealing cannot be legitimate by definition. It is not possible to legitimately steal something.
I feel like it's time to forgive Lars. He has really shaped up his playing on this recent album and tour and he clearly cares a ton about the fans and the songs. He's not the same guy we all hated around 2004.
Yeah, not so much.
Naa not really, he can't play hardly anything decent live still,...and here we are in 2018. I just listened to the Justice demo tapes that came out with the box set and woah he was seriously on point and doing a very respectable job, even on the double kick. That was when he shaped his playing up,....not now at all.
@@morsteen Its called getting older
@@psychomantis2881 It has nothing to do with getting older. He got lazy.
@@morsteen His last live performances I seen last year, he was much better and on time with his beats, this wasnt the 2003-2013 lazy lars but I haven't seen them live then, the snare, bass drum, tempo and double bass were on point!
You can tell by watching this interview is why Lars has a networth of 200 Million, and by that you can tell he is the creative and intellectual force behind this band.
Zac Fuller James worth no more
I hated lars for a long time, but then I realised his abrasiveness is what pushes the band forward. It seems obvious at this point that the band would of dissolved in 1992 if it weren't for Lars.
James lyrics can fit anyone's life to what they are experiencing or have experienced and that's why Metallica means so much to so many.
"This is your heaviest record in a long time, where is it coming from?"
"Eating my Weaties everyday"
Lol'd so hard
100%
a lot of ppl seem to forget that Lars was the one doing the behind the seems work getting Metallica where they are today.
also, the dude is a hell of an arranger.
James writes the riffs but Lars always put the songs together.
Really nice job on the interview.
Lars is fucking inspiring and way more intelligent than what some people want you to believe.
Awesome name, btw. And yeah Lars isn't as dumb as people think. He's just enjoying life, not really feeling challenged or like he has anything to prove.
hmpz36911 Well said people, fuck the haters
The years have humbled Lars a bit. This guy is awesome. Everyone complains he sucks but a dude who’s only been in one band his ENTIRE life must be doing something right.
no stupid generic questions and maintaining a real vibe without difting away too much. great interview
Noticed the same. He was to the point, kept it on track without being abrupt or perfunctory, and gracefully brought up challenging topics. Very well done. Contrast this with some of the interviewers over the years, and this guy makes them look like amateurs.
I didn't think Metallica would ever wow me again, but Hardwired is legit. Great interview.
Thanks!
I heard it like 30 times already. Fantastic album.
100% agreed!!!
The Riff God= James Hetfield
that isnt even fucking funny, thats just fucking stupid man
ohh haha a fucking mom joke cant you come up with anything better then that you fucktard
Hetfield is the riff God . (120 million albums don't lie)
Beatrice Karau or because they just like them because they like the music? jeez
if there's any true riff god it's Tony Iommi.
Lars looks really good here man. He seems clear and calm and comfortable. Glad to see him in such a great mood!
Ditto! Dude you just nailed one of the best interviews with any Metallica members ever! Lar's is forever now an OG for being a legit OM! Well covered topics, and great job getting answers for us die hard fans! Mad Respect for METALLICA 4 Ever!!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks Cody!
q on cbc thank you!!! I've got a Mesa and an Ibanez whenever your ready ha! How far is Toronto from the D anyway? 🍺🎶🍺🎶
Cody Vollick We'll said, phenomenal interview
Cody Vollick about 4-5 hour depending where you leave from Detroit
METALLICA ROCKS! METALLICAAA lml lml lml
Rock always comes back..it just has to refresh itself
Inhalin1514 I hope so. But for now it looks like it’s going to stay a niche community. I don’t think it will come back to the mainstream any time soon.
Lars is a very smart man, i always enjoy listening to him, nice interview cbc
Arguably, the best interview I have ever seen with Lars Ulrich. Been a diehard Metalli-nut since '03 Skydome.
Respect to Lars.
Many people say a lot of things about Lars Ulrich. Sometimes it seems you can't see a single comment section that doesn't talk down on him in one way or another.
Whether there's truth to those comments or not, at the bottom of it all he just strikes me as a genuinely humble, friendly and curious guy. As an interviewee, he really seems to dig down and develop his answers rather than just resorting to automode and giving cookie cutter answers. I have to say the same for the interviewer, asking questions we don't hear every day and actually following up on Lars' answers, not just asking a series of questions and going "done".
Q on CBC, that was a fantastic interview. Well done.
Some really great questions asked by the interviewer, and Mr. Lars Ulrich was able to answer uninterrupted.
NICE:)
Sometimes allowing the guest to freely answer questions is all it takes to make a great interview.
I love Lars he is the best drummer,producer ever. haters are just jealous. Him and Hetfield are my inspiration, their music saved me, from horrible moments throughout my life
he WAS a decent drummer
C30 Nation his drumming on the first 3 albums was ok. His drumming on justice was awesome, now he's good but not amazing. Defiantly better then people act
No one else could drum for Metallica though
They are part of why I'm still here and going to Turn 40 not far from Lars Ulrich turning 55
I'm not a hater and I respect him but he is just too bad when he play live, he can't keep his tempo he make too many unnecessary fills and he can't even play his own song "One" double bass part
Awesome. Great last words for Lars. "Just do your thing and keep on doing it no matter what comes". Long Live Metallica.
Nobody:
Lars: *sniff* ......."Omm"
it's a shame a dog ate Kirk's homework
Kirk lost his phoooone
Spit out the booooone
So many people won’t get this joke
@@filandrianos LOLLLLLL
@@filandrianos jame said “HE SPIT OUT THE BOOOONNMMEEE NAHHH HE LOST HIS PHOOOOONNNNE NAHHH
This was a good interview. Not all the brain cells were killed during the 1980/90 binges. He's quite smart. It gives me hope. ; -)
This is a really good interview. Lars has clearly calmed and evened out his brashness over the years, he seems much more relaxed and down to earth than he's ever been. Its really nice to see him being this way now.
I think it was the scarf. In order to wear one you have to be that way.
Yea. I heard he was a real egotistical jerk back in the day
Lars is on CZcams multiple times a day. Sup Lars
I hear Lars talk so much it's starts to feel like he lives with me
geekrockrats a
what do you think his username is? something like dopebeatz69
Hold Fast That's pretty funny,he'd probably be pissed he didnt think of it
Right, he doesn't seem to care to use the free advertisement he gets from you tube though.
Lars/Metallica were right about Napster. they took a huge PR hit for saying what a lot of bands were thinking at the time, but I think time has shown that they knew illegal downloading was going to change the music industry dramatically. Even streaming isn't a perfect answer, since bands don't get paid much, but at least it's tracked and helps bands establish themselves, build up a legit fanbase, etc. for real though, buy the full albums of bands you love
SpookyApparition I think it’s okey to listen to music for free to get a taste for a band, but if one truly likes a band they buy their records
Magic Steve but the majority of people are not going to buy the record if they have free access to it.
Records are a thing of the past. With Soundcloud and the internet.
Fucking love Lars
show some fucking respect you snob
EQ-smoove i'm not even a fan. Rigid metalheads who can't accept change make me sick. It has to be pure fucking METAL and THRASH, otherwise it sucks. I've had numerous conversations like this, and it's always the same thing: METAAAAL! It's not about music, it's whether it's true metal or not. Truly boring.
who the fuck cares?
Beatrice Karau Alice isn't it frightening g....Alice in hell!!!
Anvil was shit....super cheesy
One of the better Lars interviews I've heard. Of course it was with the CBC, haha. Cheers!
Thanks Andrew. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. :)
Gotta love that the CBC holds it down, with one of the best/freshest interviews that I have ever seen of Lars. Nice work Q.
Thanks James!
About the discussion of what type of music people today listen to, I don't think that rock or metal is not that less popular as people say. Metallica's new album wouldn't be selling if there wasn't an audience for that type of music. When there are all kinds of teens, not just boys, but many GIRLS, playing guitar and drums to old and new rock and metal bands on CZcams that are better than teens decades ago, then there absolutely still has to be a strong love and popularity for metal. It's just overshadowed by the hiphop media.
It is way less popular among young people compared to what it was in the 60s-90s. Now a days ask 10 random teens or 20 somethings if they listen to and support hard rock or metal I bet only 1 out of 10 will say yes.
TheFutureKing Are the numbers of listeners really different? Metal has always came after popular music. Back in the day, more people listened to Michael Jackson and Madonna. You also have other music listeners such as country. That group just has turned into hip hop and rap. It could be the type of people listening has changed. Where it used to be that the metal head was the guy blasting his car radio, now it's the guy blasting hip hop that makes them more noticeable where you think all young guys now are listening to rap, hip hop or R&B. The metalheads and rockers are still there, but maybe less noticable without long hair and aren't blowing their subwoofers out to Metallica.
Arthur S Hard Rock and or Metal used to be very popular among young people especially in the in the 60s,70s, and 80s. Somewhere in the late 90s early 2000s it changed to where the MOST popular music among young people is Rap and POP.
Metal has always been used to being "the underground", and the funny thing about undergrounds, is that the following is a lot bigger than one might think. It's not nearly as publicized as the media fueled genres out there, but it is still very much alive and well. To this day I still run into people who remember me as a death metal vocalist back in 1991. Death metal itself is still viable, and a lot of my friends are still playing some 30 years later. A lot of us may have cut our hair, and might even dress in suits, but that heart has never died.
A couple months ago I had the pleasure of going to see Slayer, Anthrax, and Death Angel here in Pittsburgh. My first REAL metal concert since the Lollapalooza that Metallica played in the mid nineties. The vast cross-section of ages was incredible. There was everyone from 12 year olds and their metal parents, to grandpas and grandmas. The most pit was alive and well and just about every voice in there knew the lyrics. It was one of the greatest things it has ever been my privilege to witness, especially more so at 46 years old.
And you better believe I MOSHED!
I guess it also depends where you live. Geography plays a big role . Up toward San Francisco CA, the metal community is alive and well. Down in SoCal where I'm at is a completely different story. People don't even know who Zeppelin or Metallica are. It's sad, honestly. Getting shows together down here sucks for the local metal & hard rock bands.
One of, if not the best Metallica interviews I've ever seen. Very nice, excellent vibe. Good job.
Fun guy to listen to, ty for the decades of music, Lars. Much love.
Great interview.
Respect to Lars, the man is very smart, awesome interview
Thanks Manuel!
Really excellent interview
Very good interview that shows why lars was/is so integral to the ascent and longevity of metallica.
First time I've ever come across this program. I really enjoyed watching AND listening to this interview with my son who is also a huge Metallica fan. Now of this channel. Thank you!
Thank you Shawn. Welcome aboard! :)
Best interview with Lars Ulrich ever!
Thank you!
This interview was 'BEEEEP'ing excellent! Seriously though, great job and a huge thank you to Tom Power for asking Lars some very thought provoking questions instead of the typical 'canned' interview questions that most entertainers are constantly asked over-and-over-and-over again.
Nailed the interview, well done. I like that the questions were thoughtful and the interviewer actually seemed interested in Lars' answers.
Q must interview James Hetfield!
that would have been better - that's right!
You know what would be even better ? Lars and James interviewed together :)
go check out rogan's podcast with james from friday its great!
That was a great interview. One of the best of the Hardwired PR cycle.
Very cool interview 🖒
Congratulations q - excellent, insightful questioning as ever. A cut above the rest.
Thank you!
What a great interview. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Absolute fantastic interview! Very much enjoyed this!
This is a very great intervieuw to watch!
Very relaxing and open... very nice to hear from lars about the moscow gig , and the loss of cliff!
Respect
Lars seems very down to Earth, really good interview!
I mean when Metallica finally runs their course,it'll be sad considering that metal today has to be represented by bands like Periphery (who have a few good members but terrible songwriting). So definitely value Metallica while they're still killing it
I like Periphery, and The Contortionists, and The Dillinger Escape Plan and others, just like I loved Metallica when I was younger. I think there is so much music out there, it's impossible not to find what you're looking for. There is always someone out there doing it.
Nah metal will be represented by gojira and havok
Sam Peake Gojira for sure
All these positive responses to this interview just feels good to read. It's great to see people vent positivity. Great interview indeed.
This is a great interview. Well done.
Fantastic album i bought it on vinyl and cd. Great interview too.lars was always the best.
fantastic interview, lars is always articulate with his answers and this guy provided the soundtrack to most of my life and I thank him, amazing live show just fantastic overall to provide inspiration what hard work and imagination can do, especially since he pretty much willed metallica into a real band from his dreams of making it, and succeeded more then his wildest dreams could have imagined... hard work pays off
Hes very well spoken
Q, this was a great interview! Thanks for that!
Thank you!
nice interview. My friends twitted to get me into Metallica in the 80s and i didn't get into it until the mid 2000s. I don't know why it took me so long but I love Metallica now and this kind of interview helps a late fan like me catch up.
when i was 14, the first song i ever downloaded was on napster, "I dissapear". May not have been how lars wanted me to be introduced to metallica, but if it wasnt for that who knows if ide even be a metal head today
Jesus that was the first Metallica song you ever heard?
Well this is the point, there's no new bands since then. 2000-2001 was pretty much the beginning of the end for rock.
Lars, please start using your Old Artstar II black and white kit. It looks and SOUNDS sooo much better than your current kits. Hell, even your silver sparkle kit from load -reload sounds much better than your current kit. Bring back the bell brass snare!
I love to listen all these recent interviews they've been doing
this interview was totally on point. very good job.
I knew why I have loved Metallica for most of my life. Class Mr lars.
This is one hell of a good enterview!
cool interview!!! thanks! love lars and Metallica is my favourite band forever
Very good interview. The interviewer was articulate, at ease, and well prepared
Lars looks so much like Roger Taylor from Queen
Man there's coming more and more fans to this legendary music!
Superb interviewer. Was a very fun watch! Lars looked like he had a very great time. Keep up the great work!
Wow that was an awesome interview. I'd love to see this guy interview Hetfield. Hetfield seems very willing to talk deeply about his experiences.
this is a good interview. intelligent questions and Lars is articulate and on the ball.
Thanks!
That was a great interview!
Thanks!
Great interview..thank you
Great interview, thanks for this.
great interview!
Thanks!
great interview...good take on Napster..
such a bloody great interview
Great interview. Relevant questions and the guy stops to hear what Lars has to say, which puts you above a lot of other interviews!
Is Lars the best metal drummer? Hell no. But when it comes to song arrangements, he rises to the task time and time again. I truly don’t think Metallica would be where they are today without Lars
Pantera was also in the USSR festival. Don't ever forget that Lars
He also glossed over the many death, beatings, and rapes that occurred,keepin it cheery I suppose
Such a phenomenal interview
Great interview 👍👍
Lars is one badass drummer
Good Interview. Lars is a force of nature.
Great interview man!!
20:35
Lol I feel bad for Ron McGovney
He’s actually the first bass player
He played on a couple of demos and a few gigs, from 1981-1982 I would hardly say hes the original bassist tbh. Bob rock has played more bass for them and hes not considered a metallica bass player.
Dayne Pennington Ron had played with James for a while before that with Leather Charm and other various bands. He was there when James originally wrote songs from Kill Em All (Metal Militia, Motorbreath, Hit the Lights). He is no doubt their original bassist. Least skilled? Yes.
McGovney was a wuss. He wouldn't have made one show. Dave Mustaine wrote 4 songs on the Kill Em All album.
6:55 he admits that Metallica isn’t really driven anymore. That’s not shocking, they’re like impossibly rich and have been for a long time now. Definitely richer than any other metal band out there.
Watching old lars clips, to the documentary a few years ago, you really see him mature and just be an overall great dude. Super cool to see.
He’s so metal, he blows snot rockets on the floor.🤘🏻🙇 Interesting interview.
METALLICA is the gods of METAL !!!!
you should work on it yourself though.
*your
also, fucking emojis
With a face like that you got a problem with emojis? 😂😂😂😂
For the Danish 50 must be middle age ? They have one of the highest living standards and best healthcare in the world.
Yeah, he left Denmark in 1980.
@@PSYCHOTRONICbrdcst He fovking left the Denmark.
He was a Daddy's boy. That's why Lars was able to run around the world following Lemmy Kilmister around. Daddy bankrolled Lars.
Great interview! Lars is the man! Keep up the great work, brother ! Get Brian Johnson from AC/DC
EXCELLENT interviewer!! Lars, awesome as always!!
why does everyone hate Lars , damn it I like the guy and think he is one hell of a drummer. shots out 2 Lars , if your out there and reading this you rock dude , feel free to hook me up any time 😆
