Timeline
The story of Lars Ulrich, told in moments.
Placed an ad in the LA Recycler looking for musicians into Motorhead and Diamond Head. James Hetfield answered. They formed Metallica in a garage. Neither could really play yet.
Metallica released their self-titled "Black Album." It sold 16 million copies in the U.S. alone. "Enter Sandman" became their signature song. The album spent four consecutive weeks at number one.
Filed a lawsuit against Napster for copyright infringement. Became the face of the anti-piracy movement. Delivered the names of 335,000 users to Napster's offices in boxes. Fans burned his records in protest.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Metallica. The band had sold over 125 million albums worldwide. They're the third-bestselling music act since 1991 by Nielsen SoundScan.
In Their Own Words (3)
Don't talk it, walk it.
Quoted in Some Kind of Monster (2004)., 2004
If you'd stop being a Metallica fan because I won't give you my music for free, then fuck you. I don't want you to be a Metallica fan.
Quoted in Rob Tannenbaum, "The Playboy Intervie Metallica," Playboy (April 2001)., 2001
If there are people that are dumb enough to use Metallica to interrogate prisoners, you're forgetting about all the music that's to the left of us. I can name, you know, 30 Norwegian death metal bands that would make Metallica sound like Simon & Garfunkel.
