Metallica’s Lars Ulrich: “We’ve Always Been Fiercely Independent and Controlling”

4/22/08, 6:27 pm EST

Rolling Stone caught up with Metallica at their Record Store Day signing event in northern California late last week and watched as a frenzied mass of fans kept the band busy for more than six hours. Drummer Lars Ulrich dialed us up to discuss the event and chatted about recording with Rick Rubin, bonding with his kids over Guitar Hero and learning to love the Web. “Metal is fucking alive and well and doing better than it has in many years,” he says of the state of the genre, discussing a new-millennium metal surge. Check out the whole Q&A here.

Lars talks of metal being alive and well and being in a resurgence. But in that interview he only speaks of classic metal bands (e.g., Priest, Sabbath, etc.). A good question would have been what metal bands of today does he listen to? I’m a former thrash metal fan who loved the underground metal scene of the mid to late ’80s era. Today’s metal sucks and it’s really washed up. The only decent metal band around today would be High On Fire. Lars is full of shit.
