Lars Ulrich
Lars Ulrich ( ; ; born December 26, 1963) is a Danish drummer and one of the founding members of the American heavy metal/thrash metal band Metallica. He was born in Gentofte, Denmark to an upper-middle-class family.〔 A tennis player in his youth (he is the son of former tennis pro Torben Ulrich), Ulrich was originally a drummer in San Francisco. He then moved to Los Angeles at age sixteen in the summer of 1980 to train in the sport of tennis. However, rather than playing tennis, he began playing the drums. After publishing an advertisement in a local Los Angeles newspaper called ''The Recycler'', Ulrich met James Hetfield and formed Metallica.
==Early life==
Lars Ulrich was born on December 26, 1963, in Gentofte, Denmark, the son of Lone (née Sylvester-Hvid) and Torben Ulrich. His paternal grandfather was tennis player Einer Ulrich. His paternal grandmother, Ulla Meyer, was from a Jewish family, and as a result, Ulrich's father was persecuted by the Nazis during World War II.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Conversation : Lars and Torben Ulrich )〕 Saxophonist Dexter Gordon was Ulrich's godfather, and he's a childhood friend of Neneh Cherry.〔http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/metallicas-lars-ulrich-performs-with-his-86-year-old-father-in-copenhagen/〕 In February 1973, Lars' father obtained five passes for five of his friends to a Deep Purple concert that was being held in the same Copenhagen stadium as one of his tournaments. When it was discovered that one of the friends could not go, their ticket was handed over to the nine-year-old Ulrich. The young Ulrich was mesmerized by the performance, buying the band's ''Fireball'' album the next day. The concert and the album had a considerable impact on Ulrich, inspiring the start of his career in rock and roll and later on, heavy metal. As a result of his newfound interest in music, he received his first drum kit from his grandmother at the age of twelve, a ''Ludwig''. Ulrich originally intended to play tennis, and he moved to America in 1980.
In 1981, Ulrich discovered British heavy metal band Diamond Head. He was excited about the band's style of music after purchasing their debut album ''Lightning to the Nations'' (1980). He traveled from San Francisco to London to see the band perform live at the Woolwich Odeon. Ulrich remains a fan of Diamond Head and mixed its album ''The Best of Diamond Head''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Galaway Advertiser, The Week, June 2007 )〕 Upon returning to America, Ulrich placed an ad in a local newspaper looking for musicians to start a band with him. James Hetfield replied to the ad, and Metallica was formed.
