Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich discusses Lulu

Metallica drummer and percussionist, Lars Ulrich, has admitted that Lulu, the band’s last studio album in collaboration with Lou Reed, was more spiteful than anyone was prepared for.

The 48-year-old Danish drummer has revealed that the album received negative comments that were fronted mainly at Reed, which was astonishing.

“It was more spiteful than anyone was prepared for, especially against Lou. He is such a sweet man. But when Metallica do impulsive riffing and Lou Reed is reciting abstract poetry about German bohemians from 150 years ago, it can be difficult to embrace”,
Ulrich said while talking to the journalist.

In addition, the drummer went on to reveal about his issues with the 70-year-old versatile musician in the studio.

“One time I had to point something out to him about how things were functioning in the outside world and he got hot and bothered. He challenged me to a street fight, which is a pretty daunting proposition because he’s an expert in martial arts and is never
too far from a sword. The good thing about me is I can do the 100-meter dash faster than most other 48-year-old musicians”, Ulrich concluded.
