METALLICA's LARS ULRICH: 'I Take Care Of Three Kids Pretty Much Full Time'

November 13, 2010

Kathy McCabe of The Advertiser conducted an interview with METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich prior to the band's November 11, 2010 concert at the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia. You can now watch the chat below.

On rock-star life:

Lars: "So how is rock star life? Today it was scrambled egg whites for breakfast, playing Solitaire on my iPad and I got to watch the last of this movie, 'Carlos', that I started watching on the plane, and here's my blueberry protein shake. As you can tell, it's a little too healthy."

On being Mr. Mom at home in the San Francisco Bay Area (he has two sons, Myles and Layne, with former wife, Skylar Satenstein, and another boy, Bryce, with partner and "Gladiator" actress Connie Nielsen):

Lars: "Yes, I am a Mr Mom. I take care of three kids pretty much full time — they are 3, 9 and 12. My main job is being a taxi driver or a chauffeur. I just drive kids around all day. So when I'm on tour, I get a chance to be driven, and handed blueberry protein shakes — without vodka — and to sit and check my lack of hair in this mirror."
