- “I think every Metallica record has its own journey, its own story, its own path forward. They’re all unique, and I think you accept all of them. The one common thread between all the Metallica records is that they’re done with the best intent, the purest intent, and always an attempt in that moment to write the best songs to create the best collection of songs.”

#Metallica #72Seasons
There is no Metallica without Lars. He saw the potential in James and created the best band in the world.
Absolutely and not only that, but I will state that his style of drumming is what helped make metallica be what they are. His unconventional style fits perfectly. Where another drummer who might be better wouldn't have made the music as it is.
@@davidstockdale4187 Its called “groove”. Upopular style amongst white metalheads.
@@ortumrch2003 99% of metal heads are white.
If every person who claims “Lars sucks” knew just how much work and time he puts in to MetallicA behind the scenes, they would think otherwise. Lars is one of the hardest working most driven musicians of all time.
So true
I assume it is called an enviousness.
all time xd he literally half-retired for almost 20+ years
Many people predate on negativity, just look at society. That's how it is. There were periods, throughout the 21st century, in which Lars, obviously, wasn't delivering the best in live performances. Yeah, it's not cool, but doesn't erase the fact that he IS a great drummer, and the studio and even live albums are proof to that.
@@xPaPaDx True. Very creative as well, one of the few metal drummers from his generation - and not only - who doesn't sound like a predictable programmed rythm box. You can always capture lots of small details, throughout the albums.
Lars is a genius! He's my favorite drummer of all time! 🥁🤘🏼
And he's genuine. I love that about him and this band
@@brianstrutter1501
And unique with a recognizable style - very few drummers have that.
Lars is the Encyclopedia of Metallica.. it would be awesome if he writes a book about Metallica
@@dyckrichardswhen do your songs come out?
@@dyckrichards you talk like a 5 year old
Encyclopedia Metallica 🤟
@@Steven-bz1bz good one lmao
@@dyckrichardsbuddy said poopoo
I love Lars! He’s my hero! He’s such an astute individual.
He is my hero too! I will be in Detroit!!!
great interview! thanks stephan!
@@xPaPaDx The irony is that the Internet and digital music killed the possibility of new metal bands to go professional. 21st century formed professional metal bands practically don't exist. On the other hand, thanks to youtube revenues and on-line marketing, the BIG BANDS like Metallica, actually benefited from the "Evil Internet."

Much easier to find new music than earlier
It's amazing that Lars has been able to keep himself healthy enough to play live like he does. A top-tier musician, to be sure. The man definitely deserves way more respect.
Agree 👍👍 friend. But in this interview he very thin Hope he ok. I know it GD to be thin at 60 it healthy but to thin is not GD either
Alot of people like to talk smack about his playing, but I don't see them out there at his age putting on a show like he is! Do you? Bunch of "keyboard warriors" out here!
Same old Lars. Metallica wouldn't exist without him. The little engine that did! Much respect man.☺ \m/
Did and still does! He sounds great on this tour.
If James is the soul of Metallica, then Lars is the heart. Lars is my favorite member of this amazing band. They (unlike other classic bands, like Van Halen) treat their fans with respect. And part of what makes it fun to listen to them is the different eras...different sounds...different styles.
I like your perspective, but I've always seen it slightly different. James is definitely the soul of Metallica, but I think Lars is the mind. He's always the driving force, both in the studio and on tour. His sense of aesthetics is absolutely impeccable. I think Kirk is the heart of the group. He's always been the calm center between the frenetic energies of James and Lars. I think Robert expands on that as well. He takes that heart and brings us into it. He's our link with the energy of Metallica. Always excited, always grateful, always exceptional. I love this band and always will.
I think, this might be the best "Lars interview" I have seen, the last 30 years! He is reflecting in such a relaxed way, I haven't seen him to that degree, before. I really enjoyed watching it.
I don't care what the haters say about Lars, he remains as my ALL TIME favorite drummer. This interview was a pleasure to watch, thank you for posting it!
Jason Newsted on Lars: "If we wouldn't have had him and his ability to anticipate, to predict, to know geography, to understand what country and what city and what did what at what time and all this stuff, no way Metallica would be what they were. No way! So you need to get ahold of yourselves because there's way more to it than just being able to hit a snare drum."
Lars Ulrich on Jason: HE LEFT THE BAND!
@@janrusyoutubechannel8466 Exclamation Point! Period! I mean Helloooo???
Forgetting how to hit a snare on St Anger would of been swell , lol
@@janrusyoutubechannel8466 "He left the FOCKING band!"
Bring room of mirrors to the live set. MY favorite song on the album.
@@dyckrichardsyou suck nowadays
And Inamorata!
One of the greatest drummers period.
Awesome interview
Yes
It's no secret that I am definitely a Lars fan. As a fellow drummer I sincerely appreciate his work!
Metallica is a great band, Lars, James, and Kirk have been threw a lot. Most bands would not still be playing at their age. When they added Robert to the band, he was a great addition with energy and fresh ideas. Everyone may not like the type of music they play, but you will have to admit for they are one of the best bands to still be together, and producing great music. When Metallica is finished playing a a lot of people will realize how good they were.
Most of us already know. I'm all in and loving every second
"We're digging what were doing"
As a musical artist THIS is more important than anything. Whether people like it or not Metallica have found a groove and sound that they like and enjoy. Lars has said many times they don't like looking back and repeating old ground they've done that already and better than anyone, that was a style they were feeling then, the 90s was music they were feeling then and this is the new era sound of what they like and are feeling now. Its real.
🤘🤘💙💙
Any other band that gives there fans so much content? NOPE. Always I fucking love you lads ❤
He needs to write a book about this band and his contributions, he’s done so much behind the scenes for them.
This many years in and he’s still as passionate about Metallica & Metal in general 🤘🏻
Always a pleasure to hear Lars!!! Long live MetallicA🤘
hear
I only exist in multiverses where there's also Metallica ❤️❤️❤️
Apart from the fact that these four are great and getting better each year - all of this has already been told, I would like to say many thanks to whoever is asking questions on these interviews. It's such a rare and almost unique thing, to hear such thoughtful, meaningful questions from a person who really cares. It's not just 'oh, I'm with a celebrity, look, how great I am!'-sort of questions. They are really great fun to listen to.
I love Metallica Old and new they are amazing
Metallica...any era...I'm a fan. I love them.
Yea but 86_93 were I think the greatest years
@@andrewwebster2598 Yes, but part of the appeal for Metallica fans is that there truly ARE so many eras. Other bands, the only way you can tell which era it is might be their hair or the quality of the video being shown. For Metallica, they truly went through different sounds and types of songs. It makes their entire history more interesting for fans. When LOAD came out, for instance, so many people complained. Now, a lot of hardcore fans look back on that era with real appreciation because it was so different.
Lars' drumming is incredible and has always inspired me. Keep Rockin' hard Lars! 🤘🤘💯🔥🔥
I was born in 1992 and as i was growing up metallica was the first band i listened too and the first song i heard was nothing else matters and it was that moment Lars became my favourite drummer Absolute legend 🤘🥁
Fan in Belgium since 84 85 and love new album 72 seasons ! Lot of big riffs ,and lyrics are so good ! Respect 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎙💥🥇🥇🥇🍻. Very interesting what Lars talk about. Respect from Belgium Lars and you are one of the best and still so.....respect and thank you
no words to describe how much I love this man.
Lars is the reason I started playing drums over 20 years ago. Although I've gotten way more technical and groove oriented than he's ever been in that time, he's solid as a rock and the reason the band is as good as they are. Another one of my huge influences, Joey Jordison, even stuck by Lars. His contribution to the songwriting process is the reason they are still killing it to this day.
Lars is the man!! Without him there wouldn't be Metallica!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Despite the covid situation, might we get a making-of as for the two previous albums ? (I love those, they were great )
You mean previous one album? The hardwired album has a making of all on UA-cam!
@@flataffect So does Death Magnetic.
Lars is the coolest and most easy going rock star I have ever met. He is the reason Metallica is so succssful and he takes the time to talk with everyone he meets backstage and is very genuine when speaking to his fans. I was lucky enough to see them on their first 3 tours and meet them when they were playing clubs and theatres and nothing tops that intimacy so it's hard to watch them play stadums now.
The "feeling of disbelief" is a sentiment shared by your long-time fans in a big way. Personally, I've described it as pure gratitude. The first clear realization of it for me was with the release of 72 Seasons; specifically sitting in the theater listening party with friends and family - all of which are long-time fans as well. As I was listening to the album, I was overcome with an overwhelming sense of thankfulness that my favorite band in the world has been making great music for nearly the entirety of my life. The realization that this band that changed my perception of music back in '86 is still massively relevant and active in 2023 is... mind blowing.
A good friend and I got Snakepit tickets for both shows in St. Louis and made the trip from Chicago. I can tell you that the feeling of disbelief and thankfulness during that experience was enhanced to levels I cannot properly describe.
In short, we share that feeling with you, and we thank you for what you do - and everything you have done 🤘
Lars has always been super intelligent, deep strategic thinker and to no doubt, one of the best drummers!!!
Great watch, love Lars! Probably my favorite member. Will there be a series of Making of-videos about 72 Seasons in the near future? In the same vein as all the Hardwired videos.
It’s great to hear his view from the life history of the band, it’s not easy to make an album and he’s right when he says an album can influence the next one. Lots of work to create such songs.
We need the making of!
Just a great dude and a great interview. Thanks for posting, always good to hear from Lars when you want the true state of Metallica, he keeps it real to a fault and doesn't care what ppl think he should say. 100% Respect.
I finally tmrw get to c my all time favorite drummer in Missouri!! Lars is a living legend 🥁!!
Beyond his art and performance legendary status. Lars is inspiring to me as a driven entrepreneur in the world of industrial creativity.
The best drummer since day one and still going strong, keep it up. ❤❤
Absolutely love that the interviewer never interrupts Lars and just let's him talk, no matter how long
Nice! I’ve been waiting for this one
Lars is very well balanced mentally and spiritually. I believe his balance kept Metallica alive all these years! Tough Times, but they made it and look at Metallica Now! Congrats boys!
Much love and respect from Rotterdam/NL
Apprezzo davvero la condivisione di questa bella intervista 🙏🎶👍 Bellissimo video ✳️👌 Congratulazioni e un meritato applauso 👏 Buona giornata 🌞☕🌱🌼🌱 A più tardi 🇮🇹 ✔️🤗
Let’s gooooo it’s my boy Lars!!!
@@dyckrichardssounds like a “you” problem.
@@Ruleof2ReviewI think this guy is a troll.
@@dyckrichardsit wasn't your money. It was your allowance mommy gave you.
I’d love a Making of 72 Seasons video
Oh yeah i was waiting for this interview so much
The driving force behind Metallica. Can't imagine a world without this band. We are so lucky Papa Het answered his newspaper ad.
Papa Het answered Lars newspaper ad Hoss 👍
I also can't imagine a world without Metallica. It's such a good band.
Great interview with lars🎸🎸🤟
You are doing really great Lars.. you all learned a lot from your mistakes and you are on a great path. Keep on rocking!
Can't wait to see you in St. louis
You are fantastic drummer !
I love all their wecords❤
Классное интервью!Ларс гений Металлики!🤘🤘🤘
Come to Brazil with the circular center stage. Please!! ❤
@@dyckrichards hurr durr
@@LeandroLAndradehe must have gotten ahold of mommys phone.
@@Steven-bz1bzprobably.
Si pudieran activar los subtitulos seria genial
I loved during the interview. He said he was a thinker. You’re darn right he’s a thinker , one of the 9:41 best thinkers when it comes to songwriting
Yesterday, my son got to witness as First Metallica concert in St. Louis also his first concert ever and what a freaking show they fucking killed it along with Pantera and mayhem
@@user-rh2kz3cv9fi just saw my first in STL today
I love Lars. There's a reason it took almost 6 months to get this interview out there when the other three came out around the same time. The editing must have been a long process as I imagine he talked for about 9 hours. lol
Sem comentários simplesmente 🤘🎶🍾🥂
We have to see metallica in other countries. For example Turkey, Kyrgyzstan ext. Dont forget us Metallica. Love from Turkey ❤❤ 🇹🇷🇹🇷
Его мимики и исполнение просто потрясающее !!!
Лично я не представляю его без Металлики !!!
Ларс лидер, этого у него не отнять, даже будучи слабым как барабанщик. Думаю, Металлики не будет - он что нибудь сольное соберёт и будет там рулить.
Metallica es la mejor banda de todos los tiempos y así será por mucho mucho tiempo más.🤘😎
Everyone who ever complained about the noise can blame this man right here! What an impact he's had on my life! His playing was absolutely ground breaking. In the early days and especially on "Justice" he delved into an innovative way of playing that would catapult a whole new legion of followers. He and Metallica became the wave that every one else was riding. From there on Lars became the Phil Rudd of heavy drumming. Ultimate goove oriented, laying back and making it swing. He's the mastert at that! Big fat drums with tons of feel! Love you Lars! Cheers from Thunder Bay!
Will there be making of videos for 72 Seasons?
Ich liebe Metallica seit 1985 und das wird so bleiben. Ihr helft mir, jung zu bleiben. ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎸🤘
Long live Lars!!👏🏼🤘🏼
Legendary band!!!! Passion blood sweat n tears and a decade later they are still making and playing great music. Ty Metallica ❤
More Lars interviews please!
Can't wait for the making of 72 seasons
Great to see that even not métal poeple and not headbangers kids from new generation know and love Metallica ! This is not usual for Metal band to be loved by every people and every generations since 83. Metallica are the best and I´m fan in Belgium since 84 85 and see them 2e or 24 times on stage in Europe. All support guys! 👍👍🎸🎸🎙🎙🤘🤘🤘🤘💥💥💥
I love metallica 40 more years too go 👍🏻
Y’all wouldn’t had to deal with a “Lock down” if y’all were in Florida. Just saying. Either way I have been a diehard fan since 1995 and will always go to concerts that y’all have in the Central Florida area for as long as I live or y’all retire. Seen y’all twice so far, first time was December 1999 at Tropicana Field and the second time was in July 2017 at Citrus Bowl Stadium(Camping World Stadium) both times were the best days of my life. More importantly the time in 2017 was the first time I was able to experience y’all’s performance with my best friend and my son who was 17 at the time,(43 years old myself) by the way.
Met him back in concert in Hollywood CA USA 1995 and my friend Joe Schultz had Metallica in Anaheim CA USA Jezebel's night club the rest is history. But for me personally he's nothing but Sheer class. Thanks Sir again band Sir Lars Ulrich you are amazing friend from Buena Park CA USA love you thanks again. Wish you nothing but the best!!!!!!!! Hi!!!!!
Master 🙏🏻
"Feeling Good, Feels Good". Now there's a t-shirt or song, album title in that phrase. Great line Lars!
Lars is great, gets too much hate. He is very responsible for the music we all love, his ear to the ground in the early 80s helped shape an entire shift in metal music and create a new sub genre.
He lives and breathes his band and always has, he is a huge music fan, always hands on with the songwriting, he is a huge fan and cheerleader of his own bandmates.
Hes great with fans and is always very courteous and welcoming.
He is also absolutely bullet proof and has taken so much hate and let it bounce off him.
People mistske his very danish sense of humour as arrogance and they need to realise Lars was right about Napster and to get over his St.Anger snare...its been 20 years 😂
I agree dude! 😄🤘
As much as I personally shit on lars as the worst player of the band it's not like I'd willingly trade him for any other drummer
@@shaxow1142I guarantee that most people who have knocked Lars have air drummed his parts at least once. While Lars isn't anywhere near the most competent drummer, I see him as having a similar approach to drummers like Ringo, not stylistically obviously, but in the sense that both write drums just to suit the song and nothing more. People get lost on the technical side but don't realize that the energy Lars brings to his parts cannot be replicated.
Post Making of 72 Seasons, pleeeeease!!!
I think this interview was done in September. Lars mentioned The Rolling Stones new record which dropped last month.
Saludos desde el salvador
At like 1:20 when it showed his stick bucket.. They go 50 a pair and that was a couple grand in sticks lol my absolutely mosy favorite stick I've ever touched, it's perfect....
METALLICA founder! 🤘
Great interview 🤘🏻
Lars é um gênio!
jesteście Wspaniali !!!!! pozdrawiam z Polski teraz
"We still have time"...Metallica IS in the know
Na minha opinião o melhor baterista de todos os tempos.
Lovely guy good drummer ✌️✌️
This is a fantastic album, as good as anything they've ever done, and it's miraculous that a band of 60-somethings could rock this hard. We are so incredibly lucky and fortunate. Imagine if the surviving members of Led Zeppelin got back together and made a new album, and it's just as good as Physical Graffiti. Kudos.
Also, a big thanks to Lulu being mentioned at 35:00. That's a fantastic album and deserves far more love than it has yet received. Bowie was right about that album.
When are we going to see the 'Making Of...' song videos on YT?
Can’t believe so many so called fans hate on Lars & his drumming. Listen to the fucking albums!!!! How does he suck ?? Yeah he may not be as good as he used to be Live, but that’s called ageing people!! We all age! Metallica forever !!!
🤘
Lars’ humble years is probably my favorite era. What a guy and what an inspiration.
I'm SO glad he stopped being so guarded, and sarcastic, and... for lack of a better word - dickish. He is much smarter and likeable than he presented himself in the media throughout the 90s, and unfortunately a lot of people still think of him that way. Like you said, he's humble now, and it suits him.
bravo
Great album by Metallica
No middle albums
Always interested to hear what Lars has to say 🤘 ❤
❤
Merciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii METALLICA 😉🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘
Excellent cd of Metallica awesome band fantastic drummer 🥁 lars ulrich 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺72 season was amazing cd
Congratulations 🥳 well done Lars on the new 🆕 Album of 2023 72 season that’s a exciting moment for you and the other members of Metallica and the old and newly members of Metallica from the 80s and 90s and 2000s and 2010s and now the 2020s A.D decade
I think it’s a VERY cohesive album
