Metallican Lars Ulrich ei myönnä olleensa tietoinen yhtyeen suunnitelmista erottaa hänet

Yhdysvaltalaisen thrash metallin legendan Metallican rumpali Lars Ulrich on antanut hiljattain Metal Forcesille haastattelun, jossa on paljastanut olleensa tietämätön yhtyeen aikomuksista antaa hänelle potkut vuonna 1986. Asia on noussut esille vuonna 2009 Kirk Hammetin antamassa haastattelussa, jossa mies on asian paljastanut. Lars on haastattelussa sanonut kuulleensa asiasta paljon jälkeenpäin medioiden kautta mutta on samaisessa haastattelussa todennut ettei hän tapaa lukea yhtyeen haastatteluita koskaan lehdistä tai netistä.

”It’s certainly not something that I was ever aware of,” he tells Metal Forces. ”But I can tell you that there’s been other times as we’ve cruised along where there’s been some friction with this band member or that band member, and where things were a little awkward with this particular guy, or whatever.

”When you have a collective entity like METALLICA, that’s been together for 35 years, there are different times on that journey where the idea of what to do next in a particular sticky dynamic has brought upon different options of different potential resolutions,” he continues. ”There were times when Kirk was kinda floating out there, and there were a couple of times when Hetfield was kinda floating out there, and there were different times when I was kinda floating out there, so it was very possible. I’m sure Scott Ian knows something that I don’t, and I’m fine with that. It was just not something that was ever on my radar.”

”No, I make a point of not to read any of Kirk’s interviews,” he says. ”I really don’t read interviews. I don’t know, the whole thing of 20 years ago sitting there and following what Mustaine is saying this week in Kerrang! and what Bruce Dickinson is thinking about this, and all that kinda stuff — I just don’t follow one paragraph of it anymore. I mean, I can’t open some of my web pages or check the news headlines or whatever without being aware of the fact Kirk Hammett said this or somebody else says that. Obviously, it’s hard to exist in 2016 without some of this stuff showing up on your radar, but I don’t read it and I don’t follow it.”
