Saw them last night in Amsterdam. Man, they kill. Sounding tight, happy, together, focused, spontaneous, light hearted, energetic. James looks so healthy again. Keep it up, brother. Even Lars was mistake free.
I'm seeing them in Montreal in August. So stoked!
@@debaser38 seeing them second night at Download!! Rock on brother 🤘🤘🤘
❤s
Lars mistake free ? He must have not tried to actually use a rack tom. Lol.
James entering the arena with a smile and smoking a cigar is the best thing i've seen this year.
As a huge Metallica and Conan fan, its extremely strange to see them chatting...but somehow...it works.
Lars was a guest on his tv show a couple times over the years, but this in-depth discussion via podcast is so much better than the 7 minutes that they had to talk on the tv show
Lars also has his own podcast where he interviews people so he is quite natural to it. He's also been the band's unofficial chief manager and chief promoter (and chief copyright lawyer?) for their entire history.
Lars is (and always has been) a great conversationalist. He also did a podcast/interview show for Apple(?) some time ago.
Nah, it's just PR, they're every-f*cking where
I had the same when I heard Kevin Smith and Chris Jericho in the same room together
I've been a fan since Justice. I basically grew up with Metallica. Seeing them older blows my mind but Seeing how far they have come and how much Lars as grown and matured is awesome
Have you matured?
Been listening to them since 87 fade to black was their 1st song I listened on cassette back then far far away from Malaysia.
I love this wholesome and sober era of Metallica ❤ Healthy, happy and rocking 🤘
i prefer the drunk Metallica
@@johntaric6699 absolutely!!! Alcoholica is far better!
Sobriety is pathetic
@@Arthur-ke9vz what kind of loser are you?
Alcoholica is good but nowhere the same thing.
Alcohollica made better songs and was the best era.
To be a metal drummer at 60 is crazy. He used to make a lot of mistakes live but he sounds so good now. Crazy. Saw them in 1993 and this is the best they’ve sounded love since then
What a beautiful conversation. As someone that just turned 28...for the first time in my life I do feel the current becoming tougher to navigate...mentally and a bit physically. Especially as someone who has always been treated as the "kid" of the group with my youthful appearance.
...oh kay?
At 28, you still have a good 10 years ahead of you, physically. I was able to get into the best shape of my life at age 38. Now my joints are starting to act funny at 42. Respect your time while you have it.
Nah you’re just depressed
28 dude rethink that I'm 35:I'm still going strong I dame sure ain't 18 but stop complaining
I am turning 45 and I start to feel it in my body. The will power and the mind is still going strong but I feel weaker in my body. I've been working since I was sixteen so I am not surprised at all.
Conan and Metallica just make me happy. This is great.
I'm a fan of both Lars and Conan, and i would have never expected to see them together like this.
I love it!
Who would have expected a host who's been interviewing celebrities and musicians for 35+ years to be interviewing a celebrity?? Never would have expected that! (sarcasm)
Jordan would have given Lars some nourishment advise and exercise routines.
I don't think Jordan knows what Metallica is, he's more of Bach or Tchaikovsky dood
@@SamuelDuplessis12 no way, he listens to Rush! He’s gotta at least know of them lol
@@bennybonilla2864 maybe he was just in a Rush !
And how to prepare his body.
@@bennybonilla2864
Of course Jordan listens to Rush lol
Metallica isn’t Metallica without this guy, he was the conduit to Europe and a whole new audience, and the busines man of the band!
Nice to see someone else say it. 100%
Yeah I agree Conan is the man! 🎉🎉
true as much as some people dislike him, he is the leader
I just love Lars! He has quite a sense of humor as well! I've been a fan since they first started!
Yeah, they have a lot to thank Conan for that's for sure... but really, Lars is one of the main writers, they couldn't be Metallica without this man!
Lars is hilarious - how he reflects on his crazy life journey is great. Conan always asks great questions. Wonderful interview. Rock on!
Metallica's so huge they could go forever and never play another show. The fact that they're still doing it says a lot. They either LOVE playing live, love the money that comes with it, or get bored sitting at home. ;)
Love the money more than their families, definitely.
@@richardharrold9736 doubt it, considering they all have more money than they know what to do with
@@Squall6575 since when has that stopped greed? Far richer men than Lars Ulrich continue to fight to hoard wealth.
@@richardharrold9736 yea thats a fair point, but what these guys do to accrue further wealth requires WAY more physical effort than say, what Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos do to accrue it. If they didnt love playing live, they would have found other ways to make money off the metallica enterprise. Believe me, the merch sells itself and as a business, they can keep printing money.
But they have a team that they keep employed (and pay well, which they did even through the pandemic), and they give back to fans every chance they get. Its obvious, especially from their concert vids that they are not just going through the motions
Probably a combination of all those things. But they are sounding as good as ever just saw them in Montreal 🔥
I know people love to hate on Lars, but I could listen to him all day. Him talking about young bands dethroning them yet here they are STILL doing stadium tours is nothing short of amazing!!
They sailed thru the grunge era way back in the day, too. They are an American treasure, permanent iconic status.
i never understood the hatred towards Lars
@@leticiabromley6013 nobody will ever top them.
@@johntaric6699 you got that right!! I don't get the negativity towards Lars either. Love the guy.
@@leticiabromley6013 I like him also and I enjoy listening to him talk.
Lars UlRich lots of love and respect for you ☺️
Just watched the 2019 Manchester England show where Metallica played for over 2 hours in the pouring rain. Epic performance and I thing they will be around for a long time to come.
Lars nailed it when he spoke about his rigid routine. I can totally relate to being in the same pattern and then when you go off that routine you almost don't know what to do. Ah, the joys of aging.
Same here 😂
This is cool, two of my favorite dudes chillin!
I decided I wanted to be like James when I was 15 in 1990, and my mom got me a Gibson Explorer for Christmas. I watched all the documentary videos they put out and realized touring sucks and so does being famous so I changed my career goal to something else, and grow happier with that decision the older I get.
Do you hydrate yourself well?
Also... touring doesn't suck, its awesome, being famous on their level would suck though, but touring and playing gigs is the best thing ever.
like anything in life, it s a matter of balance. Cake is good but you cannot eat it every day.
@@vovahimself 😂
Just finished a 22 date US tour, it kinda sucks. 23 hours a day are brutal the only thing you get is the one hour on stage
I just saw the concert in Arlington Texas on 8/18 and I got to say I was worn out watching these 60 year old men perform for 2 solid hours on an enormous stage. It is incredible what they are doing at their age. The concert wasn't the best concert I've ever been to but it was great. Worth every penny.
Love you, Lars! Thank you for all the years of you guys inspiring me through music and staying true to yourselves
Saw them in Amsterdam on Kings Day...fantastic gig!!.....
Lars looks incredible for his age. I’m also born in Gentofte, DK
You could take 5-10 years of Lars' and even Conan's age and nobody would be surprised. Both of them have aged well.
Money do wonders sometimes.
I saw the first show in Amsterdam. These guys work hard.
Conan is a genius...he is sooo smart it's crazy.
I been a fan of Metallica since 1984 (Yes, a year later) and a big fan of Conan, always watched his show Yada yada yada... But the best thing watching this interview, is seeing Sona sitting there and still being a part of whatever Conan is doing, her laughing a lot and really enjoying the interview itself. I just think it's great to see.
I'm taking my son to see them in NJ in August. I can't wait!!!
AMAZING INTERVIEW, and I totally GET him, seriously.. hes got it figured out, it feels good to feel good!
Love Metallluca and I'm 63. You guys are awesome
Conan is cooler than he admits!!
I’m going to the first show on thei tour, so excited about it
It feels good to feel good 🤘
Lars is so down-to-earth and well-spoken, aside from him being a talented and hardworking legend. Metallica has changed the game and has inspired many musicians all over the world for decades, and I'm loving this wise old rockstar era they are currently in.
P.S. Congrats on Matt O'B on his fanboy moment!
72 Seasons sounds stock to my ears
Life long Metallica fan, gonna be a sad day when they retire!
Personally I feel 72 Seasons is kind of a greatest hits....or an homage to some of their greatest hits. You pick out pieces from every song that relates to their other albums. I see their next album as a part 2 72 seasons and that will probably be it as a band. I think they will keep doing some acoustic shows, I would love to see them take that on the road even. Would love to see them in a smaller venue just chilling, rearranging songs and having some laughs....something of a storytellers type tour
planning on seeing them in arlington in august
is there a way we can watch the entire (current and previous) episode?
This interview really makes you appreciate people like Nicko McBrain still being out there.
Exactly !!!! This dude will never change , unbeatable
UpTheIronsMaidenRules!!
@@richieflenniken9974 shame Bruce's voice is gone, he just shouts these days.
St Louis show can’t come soon enough!! GOAT 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Metallica is an awesome band. They have kept metal alive for over 40 years. They will keep going for another 20 years, and the fans will keep paying to see them.
I'm a year younger than Lars. I'm a drummer too. Being on the road is tough. But doing your craft is simple and you get better every night. The key on the road is to get a good night's sleep and at this age you know better than to get effed up before the show. At this age the best drummers are at their prime. Make no mistake about it. We may have arthritis in certain parts but we have perfected our craft at this point. We hit those rim shots every time.
An amazing drummer!
One of the *_BEST_* live-vs-record bands I have ever seen. The consistency of Metallica is one of the many impressive qualities of the group!
They're still playing their fastest songs faster than the records.
The best live band I've ever seen
I've been to 4 Metallica concerts, and the best was the last, 1 year ago. It's incredible.
Keep up the tofu and egg whites! We need you guys :D
I’ve been a fan since …And Justice For All. They are still kicking butt. Metallica forever!!!
The cardio level of a drummer like Lars is incredible, I'd get tired waving my arms around for 10 mins, never mind hitting drums for 2 hours every night.
Lars is a landmark in music history, and he seems like a great person. The thing people forget about Metallica was that they were really the first band to give the fans all the dirt about themselves, and as a result made themselves look more human. As a result people stopped viewing them as monoliths, but a consequence of that is that people now think they have license to make personal criticisms at the band. Lars is genuine and honest and seems like a good hang. He also has some of the most killer drum tracks in rock and metal history. Don't let the negative nancys color your world.
Her laugh was the best!!!
I'm seeing them in Helsinki, summer 2024. I hope they're still up to it then lol
Music makes you young! Rock on Lasse!
These guys realised a long time ago, If I don't look after myself, If I keep doing what I'm doing as in the Rock n roll lifestyle well I'm dead.
For a band to last as long as Metallica is quite amazing really. Any band that has lasted so long Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon etc Just need
to have talent and be brillaint, and tour a lot. Hats off to Lars here though I must say a 2 year world tour playing at that level of intense music you need to be super fit.
For some reason, Bill Burr reminds me of Lars when he's wearing a cap (and vice versa), and it's amazing to me how much more chill Lars is.
Lars is the mastermind behind Metallicas success.
After age 50, eight hours of deep sober sleep becomes the 'great buzz'.
I'm 53 and I can rarely sleep for more than 3 or 4 hours at a time.
I’m 20 and I sleep every night currently 9 to maybe 12 hours I feel like it might change when I get older
@@goldenwolf8081
It probably will - I used to sleep 9 or 10 hrs a night as a teenager and in my 20's, but after that it's been less and less.
I was kinda wanting for Conan to let Lars know He used to use Napster
"It feels good to feel good" Honestly 2 months after watching this video after losing 10+ pounds while eating better on weekdays and doing 1 1/2hr long walks just so I can do what I want on weekends, I feel really good to go from 195lbs to 183lbs with the goal to get to and stick to 170-175lbs for the rest of my late 20's and early 30s and so on.
Conan in Norway! Maybe?
It's great older bands are still doing it & being on top, but younger bands don't get the push & chance to make it to the top anymore. I wish it wasn't the case, but it is.
Exactly!
Yea it's not like in the 80's the Rolling Stones or Pink Floyd or the Who had already been around for 20 years. How did Metallica ever get started?
Which is strange since places like CZcams has given exposure to so many more musician, but at the same time you always feel they will never be as big as the old school bands regardless of their ability..The industry has changed exponentially
Conan should interview metal bands more often. Very interesting although I wish they would have covered different topics.
Some guys that age are due for a conanoscopy
We just it
so long as there's a Gourleyenteroligist present.
@@pretzelhuntmaybe they’re just trying some “metal”mucil first
You should do past 45
If I was going to earn $500,000+ personally per show, for every show over 2 years, I too would hit the bike for 90 minutes a day, and eat healthily. Time to pig out in 2025 after the tour 🙂
"Show me a beautiful woman and I'll show you a guy sick of having sex with her" they say
@@davidhurtado2725 100%😊
True dat Lars 🖤⚡ respect to the body needs. Please please please get the whole Metallica in the podcast please!!! 🖤
Yeah, he’s the visionary of metallica
There's a reason all these older bands are still massive, I think the generational thing is actually extended farther than most poeple give credence. For example, Aerosmith and Stones and Grateful Dead, these guys were huge in their "retirement" years and some are still going strong. So I think if a band can stay (and have it) together long enough, they can mutli-generational. I do feel like the idea of the frontman has kind of diminished somewhat, Alexi Laiho is the last "new" one I can think of that you actually went to the show to see him, not just the band. But my knowledge is super limited so who knows, maybe there are still super magnetic frontmen out there these days.
Me too 1963..may
Very good. I love Sona's laugh 😂
She overdoes it. Like Fallon.
Conan's hair is great
Glad Metallica is touring again, but wish they had more dates. But Lars really can’t complain about a two year tour with only 44 shows
Yeah, but the "no repeat weekend" idea is nuts. And they haven't played the same setlist since 2004. Doing 30+ songs each weekend, no repeats, at the age of 60? A different kind of challenge, but a huge challenge. Not to mention the massive center stage in stadiums, which keeps them constantly moving.
@@mrmustard4478 I do hope with the “no repeat weekend”, we get deep cuts such as Bleed, Outlaw, Escape, Orion, etc
@@Tedster10 They hinted there will be room for deep cuts!! But they usually save deeper cuts in the US for arenas, unfortunately. Majority of stadium audiences are casual fans who just want to keep the giant outdoor party/rock and roll atmosphere going. But we can hope!
I was thinking the same. I just looked at the dates. they have like 26 shows this year and then 6 months off. no shows. how bad can that be even at the age of 60?
44 shows, but it's a 5 million at least per show. They don't need more money that's for sure.
I love Lars ❤
Long live Metallica and Conan
When he mentioned the Stranger Things phenomenon allowing them to reach a new audience, it reminded me about my 15 year old daughter. One day, I hear a Metallica song coming from her room, so I wander in there to see her rocking out to Master of Puppets! This person, who is a "Swifty" fan. My jaw would have hit the floor if my smile wasn't holding it up.
besides they raised the bar for production and the way they want their music to sound
You were in Norway? I didn't see you.
You were probably not at the same place he was
72 Seasons is really good!
2 years is nothing if you love what you're doing.
It's just obvious, lars kirk and james just GET ALONG, very few bands can make it and Rob and Jason were great additions to them, Jason is still on good terms too.
Lars looks great
24 gigs over 2years ain't exactly a world tour even for the old codgers. Roam 91-92 'actual world' tour was 224 gigs in 17months which Im glad I witnessed them in their prime, thanks for stick Lars!
that was 30 years ago. LMFAO
wtf are you talking about? Try more like 50 gigs.
Nowadays they know that their literal lives are more important than cramming in more and more shows
this album 72 seasons is a masterpiece folks
really? so what are Ride the lightning and Master of puppets then?
Sorry but it's a solid album but no Masterpiece
You’re kidding, right?
First Metallica album I didn’t buy. Total garbage.
@@magnusmagnusson8302 Don’t be scared to say that a new album can be a Masterpiece.
About being rigid and routines, it is not just you. I am your age and I have the same mental fight.
I first recognized it with Mick. Thanks for your candor Lars. Aging Rocker 101-it's all for the fans!!
Lars is pretty interesting to listen to
I want to see Robert Smigel / Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. PLEASE INVITE HIM!!
That's a great idea... For me to poop on!
Champagne is the best Buzz,
And to think I had an Alcoholica poster on my wall as a teenager.
Haha niice 😁
Yeah that's the weird thing about getting older.. it's no one specific thing.. like strength speed. Anything by itself is like 95% of what it was. But 95% times 95% times 95%..etc. equals feeling like crap.. so you gotta work your butt off to be 99% what you were to be even close.
Hell yeah.
without lars and metallica our band wouldn't have started
He named the Chili Peppers, Guns, AC/DC and themselves. Still doing it in 2023.
This is the first time I ever heard Lars Speak.
@3:40 Unless you’re Lemmy
Absolutely! 💯
Getting old is a privilege because not everyone gets the luxury of getting older.They should know. We've lost a lot of musicians along the way.
"It feels good to feel good" the floor is made out of floor😭
Should have played drums for Mili Vanilli
Rock & Rock & Tofu 🤘Baby
Ya it’s crazy but it’s like 30 shows or whatever over 2 years. Lol. They’re not 55 doing 200 shows over two years.
However, I’m so stoked to see them. They seem tighter than ever the last few years and it’s going to be siiiiiick
I thought ac/dc and gun n roses were donezo?
My favourite Dane.
A real Knight of Denmark…
Dane is a great name.
@@danemyburgh
Yes very cool. :-)
I am a Dane
We are Danish
Conan: you can’t do those shows if you’re not 100%
Vince Neil: yes
Dave’s still out there doing it to Lars.
like lars said rock and metal genres still rely heavily still on metallica, guns, chilli peppers, foo fighters even motley crue selling out stadiums still and the support bands music barely compares in quality. Maybe the underground scenes will blow up at some point again.
