We don’t expect celebrities to genuinely be good at the video games they appear in, but one would think that Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich could play his own band’s songs in Guitar Hero. But no…
In an interview with Canadian radio station KBS, Metallica’s outspoken and occasionally loathed drummer Lars Ulrich explains — albeit vaguely — why his band is a Guitar Hero band, not a Rock Band band. He says that the gang behind Guitar Hero was “ready to step up on a number of fronts and it’s been great,” whatever that means.
Rolling Stone magazine caught up with Metallica last week at their Record Store Day signing event in California, where they interviewed drummer Lars Ulrich, demonstrating the sort of hard-hitting interview questions that have made Rolling Stone a shining example of everything good about pop culture journalism. You signed a lot of Guitar Hero controllers. Is that cool?
In response, I’d imagine Ulrich propped his leg up on a table and scratched his chin thoughtfully, pondering the level of coolness he’d experienced on that day. It’s fucking way cool.
