Lars Ulrich of Metallica on Global Warming:
Lars Ulrich of Metallica…

“I love my sons. I want them to “inherit the Earth” FOR REAL! We keep waiting for future generations to solve the problems; to invent cleaner technology; to pay the costs…that’s the same as passing the buck. I want the buck to stop here, now. I want lawmakers and laws to impose change. Nothing else will keep this world safe for my sons.”

1. It's a wonder more people don't grasp that...
I agree with Lars on this one, even though I'm still annoyed with the guy over other things.

9. I hope Metallica finds it's angry voice again
When they are pissed they make great music ..

They haven't been angry since sobering up , while I'm
glad they are living healthy I want the killer tunes back.

ST anger was awful x(

16. Did you see the documentary Some Kind of Monster?
Good movie - and it really demonstrated how far they've fallen from their heyday. Maybe they need to be broke to be angry enough to be any good. There's a really good scene with Lars' father (who rocks by the way). He listened to one of their new tracks and told them it was so bad they should just delete the entire thing :rofl:

11. Lars is the biggest prick of Metallica (story below)...
I read that Lars was trying to think of a name for the band, and a friend of his said "I'm going to pick Metallica for my own band name." Lars convinced him not to, arguing that it was a crappy name, and then used Metallica for his own band name.

I'm not too fond of Lars. But even a broken clock is right twice a day.

14. He's right
Too bad he's an ass and his words will weighed against that fact.

He's one more irrelevant creature left roaming the earth attempting to regain the respect and adoration of the masses he once held.
