After publishing an advertisement in a local Los Angeles newspaper called ''[[The Recycler]]'', he met [[James Hetfield]] and formed Metallica.

==Biography==

In February 1973, Torben Ulrich obtained five passes for five of his friends to a [[Deep Purpe concert and the album had a considerable impact on Ulrich, inspiring his entrance into the world of [[rock and roll]] and later on, [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]]. As a result of his newfound interest in music, he received his first [[drum kit]] at the age of thirteen, a ''[[Ludwig-Musser|Ludwig]]''.

Later on in Life, in 1981, Lars discovered a British heavy metal band called [[Diamond Head (band)|Diamond Head]]. He was so excited about their style of music after getting hold of their 1980 debd all the way from [[San Francisco]] to [[Lo However, he he band warmed to him and lead guitarist [[Brian Tatler]] let him stay with him in [[Birmingham]],<ref>[http://www.diamond-head.net/newsarticles/Page582.jpg Galaway Advertiser, Th

Since the Napster ordeal, Ulrich was quoted by [[LAUNCHcast]] as having some regrets:<ref>[http://pitriff.com/print.php?sid=985 PiTRiFF Online<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
{{cquote |I wish that I was more...you know, I felt kind of ambushed by the whole thing because I didn't really know enough about what we were getting ourselves into when we jumped. [...] We didn't know enough about the kind of grassroots thing, and what had been going on the last couple of months in the country as this whole new phenomenon was going on. WCA. So we were caught off guard and we had a little bit of a rougher landing on that one than on other times than when we just blindly leap. But you know, I'm still proud of the fact that we did leap... and I took a lot of hits and it was difficult.}}

One such 'hit' was being featured in an episode of ''[[South Park]]'' in which the children are taught not to download illegally because millionaires like Ulrich do not get paid (a parody of the Napster case).

==Personal life==
Ulrich was married to Skylar Satenstein, an emergency medicine physician, for seven years and had two sons with her, Myles (b. [[August 5]], [[1998]]) and Layne (b. [[May 6]], [[2001]]). Satenstein was the inspiration for "Skylar", the love interest for Will Hunting (Matt Damon) in the movie ''[[Good Will Hunting]]'', as Satenstein and Damon dated when they were both in college. Ulrich and Satenstein divorced in March 2004.

Ulrich has been dating Danish actress [[Connie Nielsen]] since 2004 and the couple had their first child, Bryce Thadeus Ulrich-Nielsen, born in San Francisco on May 21, 2007.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=63395 | title=METALLICA Drummer LARS ULRICH, Girlfriend CONNIE NIELSEN Expecting | publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |date=December 6, 2006 | first= | last= | accessdate = 2006-11-18}}</ref> Nielsen also has another son named Sebastian (b. 1991).

Ulrich is also a noted collector of art, claiming that :"Hanging out backstage with Kid Rock is an amazing turn-on, no less so than sitting and staring at my Dubuffet for an hour with a gin and tonic." In 2002 he sold a painting by American graffiti artist Basquiat aptly named "Profit I" for more than $5 million. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.meeja.com.au/index.php?display_article_id=331 |title=Metallica drummer to sell $12 million Basquiat painting |publisher=www.meeja.com.au |date=2008-10-11 |accessdate=2008-10-11 }}</ref> In October, 2008, he announced he would sell his second Basquiat, which was expected to top bidding at $12 million.


==Equipment==
Ulrich is an endorser of [[Tama Drums]], [[Avedis Zildjian Company|Zildjian]] Cymbals and [[Remo]] Drumheads. He is rarely, if ever, seen without these brands onstage. He has, however, been known to use a mixture of brands when recording in the studio, including [[Ludwig-Musser|Ludwig]] Drums, [[Gretsch]] Drums and [[Sabian (company)|Sabian]] Cymbals. Ulrich was an endorsee of Calato Regal Tip drumsticks, but changed to Easton Ahead in 1994. Tama Drums has produced two '' Lars Ulrich Signature Snare'' drums, one with a steel shell (with diamond plate-like finish) and another made out of bell brass which currently is Tama's most expensive snare drum on the regular catalogue. Both snare drums measure 14x6.5".

Ulrich and Satenstein divorced in March 2004.

Ulrich has been dating Danish actress Connie Nielsen since 2004 and the couple had their first child, Bryce Thadeus Ulrich-Nielsen, born in San Francisco on May 21, 2007.[3] Nielsen also has another son named Sebastian (b. 1991).

In 2002 he sold a painting by American graffiti artist Basquiat aptly named "Profit I" for more than $5 million.
