Lars Ulrich Stoked By Possibility Of His Kids Thinking He’s Cool
Ulrich said he’s definitely noticed an upswing in Metallica’s popularity since its songs started appearing in games, particularly with one part of the target audience.
“Dad’s a little cooler than he was yesterday,” Ulrich said. “I now have a 7-year-old whose favorite band is Mountain, and a 9-year-old who’s into Black Sabbath and Danzig” — all veterans of the “GH” series. “It’s a great way for kids to be exposed to stuff that transcends generations.”
I don’t know about you, but for some reason that wistful quote about Lars’ kids thinking their dad is lacking in cred gives me an uneasy feeling about a next-generation sequel to Some Kind Of Monster being made in, say, 10 years or so. (Or maybe a reality show. At this point, it’s the same difference, right?)
