“What the frick is it about ‘Lulu’ that it got that kind of reaction? I can’t quite figure it out, but years later, it’s aged extremely well. It sounds like a motherfricker still. So I can only put the reaction down to ignorance …


This fricking guy...

I can't think of another band that's music I enjoy but fanhood is limited because I loath a member so much

Lars has been a space cadet since day one. Take everything he says with a grain of salt. Has he been right on things? Yes. Has he been wrong? Yes. Sometimes I think all the coke & Bay Area living has warped his brain. I’m ready to see how well he can perform in this upcoming tour.

I was in a band one time with a guy that said to me " I want our fans to be the same fans that like Pink Floyd".
I said " I want any fan I can get, I think you need to play what you play, and hope anybody likes it"

Despite Metallica being the center of my existence, I STILL have actually never listened to Lulu.

Everyone needs to just calm down and defer to Lars’s genius.

I still think people take shite like this too seriously. He's a big part of what made Metallica Metallica, and that's almost all to the good.

Lars is probably still mad at Napster.

Ditto. "Lulu" was the first record with Metallica's name on it I have not purchased in any format, nor listened to in its entirety.

Same here. I'm the kind of fan that can look a picture of the band or even an individual member and tell you exactly what year it was taken, but I just can't Lulu

Ive never listened to it.. but this statement on it, by Chuck Klosterman, always makes me laugh...

"If the Red Hot Chili Peppers acoustically covered the 12 worst Primus songs for Starbucks, it would still be (slightly) better than this."

They are The Beatles of metal. They’ve had their asses kissed from the 80’s to early 90’s.

They never broke up but fell victim to the Beatles loss of sense of self. You are just a rock band. A GREAT rock band. You are guys that all slept on a couch and shared a van to survive at one point. Keep your fans happy. When you try to stretch as a band and the fans do not like it, don’t lash out. Just be honest. “Man we try different things”.
