METALLICA Frontman Interviewed By MUSIC JAPAN OVERSEAS (Video)

November 17, 2010

Music Japan Overseas conducted an interview with METALLICA guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield when the band played Japan at the end of September. The four-minute clip, which includes performance footage, can be viewed below.

He may be one of the biggest rock stars in the world, but METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich told Australia's The Advertiser late last week that he is "Mr. Mom" when he is back home in the San Francisco area. Ulrich admitted, "Yes, I am a 'Mr Mom.' I take care of three kids pretty much full time — they are three, nine and 12. My main job is being a taxi driver or a chauffeur. I just drive kids around all day. So when I'm on tour, I get a chance to be driven, and handed blueberry protein shakes — without vodka — and to sit and check my lack of hair in this mirror."

Ulrich has two sons, Myles and Layne, with former wife Skylar Satenstein, and a third boy, Bryce, with his current partner, actress Connie Nielsen.

When asked what the rock star life was like these days, Ulrich replied, "Today it was scrambled egg whites for breakfast, playing Solitaire on my iPad and I got to watch the last of this movie, 'Carlos', that I started watching on the plane, and here's my blueberry protein shake. As you can tell, it's a little too healthy."

METALLICA is currently completing the touring cycle for its 2008 album "Death Magnetic" with a last round of dates in Australia and New Zealand.

The band may bring the "Big Four" tour to the U.S. in 2011 and is scheduled to headline the Rock In Rio festival next September.
