METALLICA: Second Part Of LARS ULRICH Interview Posted Online
December 21, 2010Dan Rutledge of Rip It Up magazine conducted an interview with METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich prior to the band's October 2010 concert in Auckland, New Zealand. You can now watch the second part of the chat below.
METALLICA wrapped up its two-year-long "World Magnetic" tour on November 21 with the last of three shows in Melbourne, Australia, bringing to an end a trek that began on September 12, 2008 in Berlin to support the band's ninth studio album, "Death Magnetic". The group issued a statement compiling the tour's numbers, which included "45 countries, 143 arena shows, 34 festival shows, 29 stadium shows, four club/theater shows, three TV/radio shows, two Hall of Fame shows, 3790 songs, and not a single setlist was the same."
The group played a total of 216 shows in 800 days.
METALLICA is already confirmed to headline Rock In Rio next September in Brazil. The band will also make several festival appearances in Europe over the summer.
METALLICA turns 30 in January. The earliest version of the group was formed by Lars Ulrich and frontman James Hetfield in January 1981 after Ulrich answered a newspaper ad from Hetfield.
The band threw an end-of-tour party on November 19 in Melbourne for its 120-member crew, which was described as "surprisingly tame" by Heraldsun.com.au. The band flew home to the U.S. on a private jet immediately after coming offstage.
