'''Vikaspuri''' is a suburb of [[Delhi]], [[India]]. Started by the [[Delhi Development Authority]] in the 1980s, it boomed in population in the late 1990s. Real estate prices have shot up and are comparable to any posh areas of Delhi, in large part because of the continued boom of immigrants. |

'''Lars Ulrich''' ([[December 26]] [[1963]]) - ([[October 14]] [[2008]]) was a [[Denmark|Danish]] [[drummer]] best known as the greedy co-founder of the [[United States|American]] [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[Metallica]]. He died of extreme greed. He was born in [[Gentofte]], [[Denmark]] to an upper-middle class family. A [[tennis]] prodigy in his youth, Ulrich moved to [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]], [[California]] at age sixteen to pursue his training, but instead of playing tennis, he ended up as a drummer. After publishing an advertisement in a local Los Angeles newspaper called ''[[The Recycler]]'', he met [[James Hetfield]] and formed Metallica. |

==Biography== |
|||
Lars' father, [[Torben Ulrich]], who was an acclaimed tennis pro from the late 1970s into the early 1980s, was also a musician, playing [[jazz]] with giants such as [[Stan Getz]] and [[Miles Davis]]; legendary saxophonist [[Dexter Gordon]] is Ulrich's godfather. In February 1973, Torben Ulrich 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 Lars. The young Ulrich found himself mesmerized by the performance, buying the band's ''[[Fireball (album)|Fireball]]'' album the very next day. The 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 debut [[Lightning to the Nations]] that he traveled all the way from [[San Francisco]] to [[London]] in order to see the band perform live at the [[Woolwich]] Odeon. However, the young Lars had not planned the trip out particularly well and was left without anywhere to stay after the gig. However, he managed to meet the band backstage and explain the lengths he had taken to see them. The 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, The Week, June 2007]</ref> where Lars spent the next few weeks touring with the band. Lars still remains a big fan of the band and even helped mix their [[The Best of Diamond Head|Best Of]] album. |

== Getting there == |

In the same year Lars met [[James Hetfield]] in [[Downey, California]] and formed the [[thrash metal]] band [[Metallica]]. Ulrich's early work with Metallica led him to be dubbed as one of the [[thrash metal]] scene's drumming greats. He became known as a pioneer of fast thrash [[drum beat]]s, featured on many of Metallica's early songs, such as "[[Metal Militia (song)|Metal Militia]]" from ''[[Kill 'Em All]]'', "[[Fight Fire With Fire]]" from ''[[Ride the Lightning]]'', "[[Dyers Eve]]" from ''[[...And Justice for All (album)|...And Justice for All]]'', and "[[Battery (song)|Battery]]" from ''[[Master of Puppets]]''. He has since been considerably influential due to both the popularity of his band and various drum techniques, such as the [[Kick drum#Double bass|double bass]] in the song "[[One (Metallica song)|One]]" (''[[...And Justice for All (album)|...And Justice for All]]'') and the opening of "[[Enter Sandman (song)|Enter Sandman]]" (''[[Metallica (album)|Metallica]]'' / "The Black Album"). When discussing Metallica in an October 2007 interview, [[Evile]] frontman Matt Drake stated that "on ''The Black Album'' [otherwise known as the group's eponymous 1991 album], the drums produce the best drum sound I've ever heard on any album".<ref name="EvileLucemFero">{{cite web|title=“Armoured Assault” - Evile frontman Matt Drake hails gargantuan Thrash masterpiece ''Enter the Grave''|author=Morgan, Anthony|publisher=Lucem Fero|date=2007-10|url=http://www.lucemfero.com/evile102007.php|accessdate=2008-05-03}}</ref> |

===Napster controversy=== |
|||

In April 2000, Ulrich became a vocal opponent of [[Napster]] and [[file sharing]] as [[Metallica]] sued the company for [[copyright infringement]] and [[racketeering]]. In July 2000, he testified before the [[Senate Judiciary Committee]] after Metallica's entire catalogue was found to be freely available for download on the service. The case was settled out-of-court, resulting in more than 300,000 Napster users being banned from the service.<ref>[http://www.thefalcononline.com/story/748 The Falcon Newspaper - Napster bans more than 300,000 for downloading Metallica<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Due to his high profile role in Napster's legal troubles and subsequent demise, Ulrich faced significant criticism and ridicule from users of the service.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIuR5TNyL8Y&mode=related&search= YouTube - Napster Bad<!-- 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. We were just so stuck in our controlling ways of wanting to control everything that had to do with METALLICA. 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). |

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 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. |

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". |
