So white...wtf. It's downright ugly. Luxury yeah, but fugly as well.

Do they wonder, though ? I'm pretty sure Lars only cares about money.

Lombardo said he was making 70k a year from Slayer before he left. Tragic considering Lars is beginner level yet is a multimillionaire

A multimillionaire just by being a mediocre drummer? Where do I start?

^ Release some legendary albums in a new metal subgenre that later proves very popular.

Then you can do whatever you want...

Well you don't get money for being good at an instrument lol, otherwise Asian kids on YouTube would be millionaires



Lars has written pretty much every Metallica song ever so it's not like he hasn't earned it, even if being out of touch comes as part of that

The year is 1984. I first discover Ride The Lightning in November of the year. It was snowing outside and it was very cold men. I put record on,, It start with medival style music, and then when in calm place? Thunder guitar take control! This is great start for this record men. Lars Ulrich is the drums for this record and at end of song, he is the lightning with bass pedal and snare madness! After this song the name of record is a song and plays well. For Whom The Bell Tolls is up and it deliver best of Metallica riff by Cliff Burton. He play guitar men? hhehehe this is bass! I can believe this. Then best Metallica song is playing,, soft music and guitars. Fade To Black is hitting me hard and it build up with epic solo and chill feeling of depressed. Trapped Under Ice brings energy back to the life here with great open riff by James Hetfield. Escape is starting up and Kirk Hammett is playing on the leads here men. This is song of good structure and deliver a good fade out ending. Here we go men! This moment we wait for! Creeping Death! This song is Metallica well known effort and it is personal favorite of my listens today. This song is about the times of Bible in Christian lore men. I believe this happen and is scary song. The end is no vocals and has great style for close the album up. The Call Of Ktulu is epic! Dave Mustaine has wrote this song when he was playing with the Metallica men,, if you did know. The last riff of song end this record and it is best way to ever end. I have never listen to better ending for any recording and I listen to many metal! This is all I say about Ride The Lightning. Thank for reading and apology for english is not good.

You don't. Musicians who are multimillionaires can mediocre, Lars is one of them.

Dude that's just demonstrably false and a common myth - it's just easy to glorify those guys cos they 'never sold out' (even though Dave wrote the embarrassment that is Risk while Lars helped write probably the greatest commercial metal album of all time). Mustaine's writing after Kill Em All is limited to Ktulu and Burton, while I loved the influence his classical training had, never actually wrote much apart from on this album and his subordinance was kinda demonstrated by his absence on the brilliant AJFA. This is all in liner notes dude, time to come to terms with the terrifying realisation that Lars used to be a good musician and has a terrific ear for melody!

The article says "Public records show the musician previously owned the property" > so Lars having owned that is a selling point, wtf?

Oh boy, another clueless guy going by the writing credits on the albums lmao.

They litteraly stole everything Mustaine made while with them without even giving him credits (he did get a few back after some time). Kirk Hammett listened to tapes of Mustaine to train smh.

I guess you know more than this guy:
