METALLICA's LARS ULRICH Interviewed By WRIF 101.1 FM Listener; Video Available

January 14, 2009

METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich was interviewed yesterday (Tuesday, January 13) backstage at the Joe Louis Arena by a listener of the radio station WRIF 101.1 FM. Watch the three-minute chat below.

METALLICA kicked off the second leg of its current North American tour on Monday night (January 12) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with dates scheduled through February 1 in Newark, New Jersey. The group is playing in the round on this tour as it has done in previous years, but the stage is more open and closer to the audience than ever before. Drummer Lars Ulrich described what it's like for the band. "This is probably the most vulnerable and the most naked we've been out there," he told The Pulse of Radio. "There's no place to hide, there's no nothing, there's no ... it's like you're out there and you're just in the thick of it with the fans and in the fans'faces, and it's a lot of fun. And it feels like people are really digging it."

Ulrich added that the band is not using video screens on this trek, which makes the audience watch the stage and the musicians for the entire show.

METALLICA will head to Europe at the end of February and stay on the road there for most of the spring and early summer.
