Lars Ulrich

Lars Ulrich was born in Gentofte, Demark on December, 26th, 1963. Lars' father is Torben Ulrich, a pro tennis player with an interest in Jazz. Lars was introduced to music when his father received tickets to a Deep Purple concert in 1973. This concert left a big impression on him. By age 13 he had his first drumkit. Lars and his family moved to Newport Beach from Denmark in 1980. His parents hoped this would help him focus on tennis, which he had been neglecting in favour of his interest: music. Eventually he abandoned tennis and became interested in NWOBHM. (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal.) Around this time, he met up with James Hetfield and part of his band, Leather Charm. The first meeting was unsucessful. Shortly afterward he went to Enlgand where he attened a Diamond Head concert. He spent two months 'hanging' with the band before returning home with an even more intense passion for music. He called Hetfield again until he agreed to meet with Lars a second time, along with bassist Ron McGovney. This was the birth of a band called Metallica.
