Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich recently spoke with Forbes discussing a handful of topics, from the return to stadiums after sixteen years to admiring bands who still rock out in their seventies from acts including The Who, Paul McCartney, and The Rolling Stones. Later in the conversation, Ulrich was hypothetically asked, if he had to watch […]

Lars Ulrich will probably never leave Metallica. As solid as James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett are in the band, Lars is the band’s unfofficial spokesperson, a hyperactive, enthusiastic mouthpiece for them.

Through […]

Former AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd pled guilty to threatening to kill an associate, as well as possession of narcotics, and he got eight months of house arrest and had to pay $120,000. For millionaire Rudd, that means eight months of mansion arrest, which he appealed in hopes of getting the charges dropped, too, saying they kept him from earning […]

If you have seen the headlines about Phil Rudd in the past few months, you may have noticed that not all of them involve his former band AC/DC, except for the fact that Rudd may be in denial and believes he’ll be back playing “Highway to Hell” with the rest of the boys in the […]

Apparently Phil Rudd has accepted the fact that he isn’t returning to AC/DC anytime soon. Just 10 days into his eight month house arrest sentence, the drummer has reportedly been arrested…yet again. It’s remains unclear what exactly Rudd (who pled guilty to threatening to kill his former assistant) did to get arrested this time. However, the […]
