Lars Ulrich Interview from "Anvil!: The Story of Anvil" (bonus scene) 

Lars has had that same piece of gum in his mouth since the ride the lightning tour

I love watching Lars interviews! He's very articulate and intelligent. I hate that people give him a hard time! He's quirky but all the best people are.

Lars Ulrich, the big mega-star of the big mega-metal-band gives this man 10 minutes for this interview. And in the end he is talking 30 minutes about it. Thats what I like about this guy. He could choose to not give a shit and just do an average interview within these 10 minutes but because he loves what hes doing an how that is related to such bands like Anvil that "never made it" he ends up talking on for the triple original planned time span. He is not only a rational guy, he is an emotional metal-fan also - still, after 110 million Metallica-records sold. Nice guy.

Lars is not a metal historian only, he is THE eye witness, and one of those who created that history. who have taken note in his brain of every detail that happened around that time. Always great and informative to watch his interviews.

Say what you want about him but Lars sure knows his metal

Lars allways sound so honestly interrested in bands and the whole scene...still after all those years.

Lars may just be the most interesting man in the world. Not a big big fan but I just sat thru the whole entire f***ing 30 min interview. Very rare someone speaks from the heart. Awesome interview

I really appreciate what Lars has said about ANVIL. His analysis of the music industry of the day and where things were going in terms of general direction VS an out-stander in the crowd was Bang On. I remember seeing Anvil Live @ a Place Called "The Fairville Tavern" in Saint John N.B. in 1981 and being shuddered to the core @ the energy of the band. What Lars says about the band earning their status is also correct. They did put in the mileage. Thank you Lars for being so honest in your interview about Us Canadians. May Hard Rock And Metal Live Forever. This is our voice against the Lies of the Government And The 1 % controlling Wealth.

Lars Ulrich knows a lot about 80's Metal!!! He's Danish and was a huge fan of N.W.O.B.H.M. He really was into Heavy Metal back then.

That last bit between Lars and the director is one of the greatest things I have watched in the history of RU-vid.

Rob Reiner to THIS DAY!! is a drummer that can consistently, teach, deliver the goods & DO!! what a young drummer in any band can muster ALL in the name of having fun in METAL!!!.. very VERY underated drummer.🥁🤘

Lars so awsome for him take time out of a hectic schedule and say something nice about anvil for their movie. Heck that might help increase some record sales.

Great to hear him mention Y&T and Triumph.

Lars Ulrich always sounds like he has something stuck in his teeth or smething

OMG he could ramble on and on and on and on and on….. but in really do love Lars! He’s my favorite rockstar!😂❤️

I love how Lars has "10 minutes" and it turns into 30+.

really great interview from Lars, I was there for the whole ride as a teenager, even had both Anvil AND Metallica on my denim vest at the same time....by the way Anvil is from my area, I'm soo proud

Say what you want about Lars. However, he is a very deep and interesting man, extremely well-read on a plethora of topics. Excellent interview!

It's cool that he's still such a metal nerd! gotta respect Lars for keeping the passion after all the years,

I've just realised that Lars is the doppelgänger of Michael Keaton!!

Not one single band who appeared in that flick praising and claiming to dig Anvil ever took Anvil on the road with them.

Love Lars. He's a great interview.

Lars sounds very well versed in early 80's Canadian Rock/Metal. I'm surprised... and impressed.

Anvil and Raven really were the first speed metal bands. Both bands the first and last to reap the benefits.

The big 4 actually refers to Lars' forehead.

Awesome. Thank you, Lars. Long Live Anvil.

He's go so much knowledge of music, it's refreshing. He's like a damn musicologist with all his information and eloquent rhetoric. Not a fan of Metallica post Justice but I give the guy credit.

Can we also agree that Lars was right about Napster!?

Same thing happened to RIOT, from NYC, hardly anyone mentions them and they were awesome. Metallica considered once doing a RIOT cover, they should go ahead and do it!

I remember being a kid, visiting family in so cal somebody had metal on metal.... that's what got me hooked on fucking metal..... they deserve a spot in the hall of fame

Surprised Lars mentioning bands like Teaze and Moxy. Everyone talks about more well known Canadian bands like Anvil, Rush or whatever, but seems Lars knows a little bit about Canadian rock from the 70s.

Lars has one of the most underrated brains in the rock world. This man is smart. Where would Metallica be without Lars?

A whole half hour of Lars Ulrich searching for the right soundbyte. Can you watch it all?

It's nice to hear Lars voice lol so soothing

15:08 he hit the nail on the head, the isolation of being Canadian. So many Canadian bands set the trend. The US and Brit bands were listening and they had the market, so they would run with everything. Anvil was happy to be popular with their pears and their base, really true pioneers

Lars is amazing in this interview. Very inspiring video.

This is the only time I like listening to Lars. His knowledge of hard rock and metal history is great.

hahaha, guy at the end is like "Oh Lars, that was so BEAUTIFUL", and Lars is like "..uh...yeah, sure, np man....."

I met them two years ago and they are good and nice guys. They sign everything I had and bought at the show. Great band and persons

Maybe one of the few interviews with Ulrich that's really pretty cool and interesting to watch.

He loves all these bands that never made it big yet never took them on tour

Hey, Diamond Head was an awesome band and never got huge. Bugdie was an awesome band but never got huge. Canandian, Razor and Exciter are awesome but never got huge. Shit happens.

Y&T is a great live band. Never seen them put on a bad show. They should have been bigger.

he was around during the beginning and whether i like him or his music, he knows his shit and hearing him lay the truth out about anvil is fun.

Lars is just cool af.. I really hope he has met and hung out with Anvil by now 💥🤘🤘🤘

You guys are the bomb loved your movie crown two each you guys went thru it so enjoy love yall

Streeheart! Thx. The grand band of Saskatchewan.

c`mon Metallica ... put Anvil out of their misery - take them with you on tour!

The only thing that matters is that new anvil s álbum is coming this january

Lars is a genius.

Say what you will about Lars's drumming; I personally think it's okay dunno why everyone hates it, but you can definitely hear the influence of Anvil and Robb Reiner in musicians like Lars.

no prob! I was very surprised that no one had uploaded it yet! Anvil rocks! the story of Anvil was an excellent film.

Say what you want about Lars but he is a dyed in the wool historian of metal!

Anvil is Metal. All their albums are #1 for me. No other bands can touch them. Some band should go and listen some Anvil again to hear how to be metal again. Anvil is the best

The thumbnail made me think of him saying *"Umm.."*

Lars is hilarious, lol. What a great interview.

agreed. would love to see a doc on them, too.

made my day !!!!

the lip smacking.....

wow you are exactly right about that . Have watched both dude since the 80'd and never realized it . Right on

I saw Y & T open for Dio on the "Holy Diver" tour and they were excellent☆

I thought it was Billy Crystal for a sec..

One of lars best Statements 👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶🤘🤘🤘

Lars comes off really good in this interview

Hey, I learned what Y&T stands for!! Thanks Lars!

Y&T, like Anvil, another underrated band

Yes, Lips was offered a spot in Motörhead.

Anvil isn't NWOBHM, they're Canadian.

I have to agree. All the song's Metallica covered and got inspired by came from Lars. I can only imagine this guy's record collection. He knows a lot about the genre. He can difently school Eddy Trunk.

great interview...

Lars gets a bad rap. He is part of what is arguably the most important metal band of all time regarding thrash metal.

I was there with anvil....and Lars said nothing but truth... Robbo Reinner is probably the only guy that knows ...owns more music....vinyl & CD....in all genres..

Go Watch Anvil Documentary Right Now!!!! no matter you are METAL fan or NOT!

Did Lars just say that Van Halen's music wasn't so good?

Say what you want about lars,but he is a music encyclopedia

Ha Saxon…I put in a bid for production from my sound company…for a San Antonio show….we didn’t meet their rider for production….but two cases of wine where on hospitality rider…no tea-

very cool

no prob! thanx for watching

Very Cool

Mothra is indeed a fuckin badass song

"Umm" - Lars Ulrich

When record labels get involved they usually kill all creativity and want them to immitate whoever is #1 at the time. So many great bands almost died due to the record labels involvment. Just to name a couple would be Rush and Dream Theater, but they told the record labels to back off and let the fans decide, thank God.

Rob is still the metal drummer. Every drummer need to listen and learn from him 🤘Rob.R 🤘 Steave "lips" is a great singer/guitard too 🤘 Rob and Steve 🤘

Thanks for posting. When this was filmed?

4:10 lars saying dildo.. the way he says dildo is fuckin hilarious! lol

Everyone gives him shit but he is smart and I like that he has passion for what he does.

@kaffalp ... they did. They've had Anvil open for them a few times now, actually.

Is the Slash interview from Anvil: The story of Anvil available somewhere?

Could be worse: they could split up and get real jobs! Respect to Anvil!

LARS ULRICH 26 DE DICIEMBRE DE 1963 59 AÑOS

sorry for the typos , I dont proofread

I could never understand why Lars developed a reputation in the public's minds of being an asshole. Why? I have never seen or heard him being a bad person. Sure, maybe from time to time he's had a chip on his shoulder, but don't we all? Going from being an average Joe struggling to survive wit the rest of us to mega-stardom and millions of dollars can have a profound affect on a person. Nobody knows what anyone else is going through in their minds or what they have endured throughout life.

Metal was actually a youth movement in the late 70s and 80s the way Hip Hop is now it seems (Sadly). In 80s mostly white High Schools pretty much everyone dressed in denim and leather.

Lars knows his shit

Yes lars know the history of metal do to his age as well as forming a band in 1981.

Another classic Canadian band Exciter

Lars the Great

Why is Lars always chewing on his tongue?

well versed? he mentioned Triumph and Moxy. whats so impressive about that?
