Recently, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich shared that he is pleased that fans are still listening to Metallica music despite how they get their hands on it.
While appearing as a guest on SmartLess podcast, hosted by actors Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, the drummer shared that he is happy that people are still listening to Metallica s music.
Well, obviously it s changed quite a bit, he said. And in your guys industry, some of the same things that we were dealing with 20 years ago are happening. Big picture, and I know this may sound like a little bit of a cop-out, I m just happy that fucking anybody cares about what we re doing and shows up to see us play and still stream or buy or steal our records or whatever.
Metallica are currently on their extensive ˜M72 world tour. The run of dates comes following their latest studio album ˜72 Seasons , which was their 11th studio album and followed on from ˜Hardwired ¦ to Self-Destruct , which arrived in 2016.
