Has Lars recorded for any bands besides Metallica?

Lars has recorded a drum track with Mercyful Fate for a remake of their song "Return of the Vampire."

Is it true that Lars sings sometimes?

Metallica, on occasion has been known to switch around the instruments on "Am I Evil?" The (un)usual arrangement is Lars--vox, James--drums, Jason--guitar, Kirk--bass. Lars claims this is his "Bruce Dickinson impersonation." This is not a very regular happening--maybe five times ever.

Deep Purple.

What does he like to do when he gets time away from Metallica?

Lars Ulrich likes scuba diving, skiing, going to the movies, and forgetting about Metallica.

Why did Lars thank Jethro Tull when they won the Grammy in 1992?

Jethro Tull won the award that many think Metallica deserved in 1989. The "thanks to Jethro Tull for not putting out an album this year," was an underhanded salute to the industry for not recognizing Metallica in 1989.

"Please don't put your life in the hands of a rock & roll band, who throw it all away."

-- Lars Ulrich
