Lars Ulrich is Completely Fucking Dillusional. Moreso.
This is just un-be-fucking-lievable. From Blabbermouth.net:
METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich recently spoke to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer about the "challenging" nature of the band's most recent studio release, "St. Anger".
"Some people were overwhelmed by it," Ulrich said about the follow-up to 1997's "Re-load". "I can see now that for people who knew METALLICA through the simpler stuff, 'St. Anger' can be a pretty challenging record. But I'm proud of it, and proud that we stuck with it and didn't pussy out. A couple times in the past when we set out to make some aggressive stuff, we kind of watered it down. I'm glad we didn't do that.
" '... And Justice for All' is one of the cornerstones of the band's career. But next to it, 'St. Anger' sounds like 'Dark Side of the Moon'. It'll be interesting to see what people think of the record five or 10 years from now. There are people who think it's just a little ahead of its time."
Wait wait wait....let's repeat that very last part there, just to make sure we didn't miss anything:
"... And Justice for All' is one of the cornerstones of the band's career. But next to it, 'St. Anger' sounds like 'Dark Side of the Moon'."
That isn't just comedy gold, dear readers. That isn't just a small Danish drummer still trying to convince himself that the album he put out a year ago was a good idea. That isn't even just a desparate cry for help and solitary confinement.
That, my friends, is fucking insanity.
