Lars Ulrich's FAQ

What equipment does Lars use?

Lars plays Tama Artstar II Drums with Remo heads and Zildjian Brilliant

cymbals.

Has Lars recorded for any bands besides Metallica?

Lars has recorded a drum track with Mercyful Fate for a remake of their

song "Return of the Vampire."

Is it true that Lars sings sometimes?

Metallica, on occasion has been known to switch around the instruments on

"Am I Evil?" The (un)usual arrangement is Lars--vox, James--drums,

Jason--guitar, Kirk--bass. Lars claims this is his "Bruce Dickinson

impersonation." This is not a very regular happening--maybe five times

ever.

With what heavy metal band did Lars first become interested in the Metal

Scene?

Deep Purple.

What does he like to do when he gets time away from Metallica?

Lars Ulrich likes to scuba diving, skiing, going to the movies, and

listening to Oasis.

Why did Lars thank Jethro Tull when they won the Grammy in 1992?

Jethro Tull won the award that many think Metallica deserved in 1989. The

"thanks to Jethro Tull for not putting out an album this year," was an

underhanded salute to the industry for not recognizing Metallica in 1989.
