How tall is lars from metallica

Lars Ulrich, the founding member of Metallica and spokesman of the band, was born on 26 December in Gentofte, Denmark, as the son of Torben and Lone Ulrich. His father, a professional tennis player, instilled a love for the game in his son and expected him to follow in his footsteps, but the tide turned when young Lars saw his first concert at the age of ten; it was the then-popular band known as Deep Purple.

When he was given a drum set by his grandmother, his love of tennis began to wane as his love of drumming intensified. When Lars was only 16 years old, his family moved to Los Angeles so he could train professionally as a tennis player. However, the budding musician, songwriter, actor, and record producer, whose passion was drums and percussion, advertised for metal musicians in local newspapers, and co-founder James Hetfield was one of those interviewed.

To date, Metallica has three live and ten studio albums to its credit. Lars was the first Danish recording candidate to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as Metallica in Apart from his love of music, the multi-talented artist, whose musical genres are mainly heavy metal, thrash metal, speed metal, and hard rock, has taken a trip into the world of acting.

Like his father, his paternal grandfather — Einer Ulrich — had a good record in professional tennis. The godfather of this versatile artist was the celebrated saxophonist Dexter Gordon and the well-known musician Neneh Cherry was his childhood friend.

Between and , Ulrich tried running a record label, the Music Company. The company was a joint venture with Metallica accountant Tim Duffy. It failed to catch on and folded in the spring His voice can be heard in the opening seconds of "Leper Messiah" and he also counts to four in his native Danish on the "St.

Anger" music video. To unwind after some gigs, Ulrich listens to jazz. Ulrich has been married three times. His first marriage was in to Debbie Jones, a British woman he met on tour, but they divorced in due to Ulrich's constant absence during the recording of the album Metallica as well as his alleged infidelity.

His second marriage was to Skylar Satenstein, an emergency medicine physician, from to They had two sons before divorcing. In the documentary Anvil! In , he 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, and traveled from San Francisco to London to see the band perform live at the Woolwich Odeon. Upon returning to America, Ulrich placed an advert in a local classifieds newspaper looking for musicians to start a band with him.

James Hetfield replied to the ad, and Metallica was formed. He got the band name from a friend, Ron Quintana, who was brainstorming names for a heavy metal fanzine he was creating, and Metallica was one of the options, the other being "Metal Mania.

As a result of his newfound interest in music, he received his first drum kit, a Ludwig, from his grandmother around the age of 12 or Ulrich originally intended to follow in his father's footsteps and play tennis, and he moved to Newport Beach, California, in the summer of Despite being ranked in the top ten tennis players of his age group in Denmark, Ulrich failed to make it into the 7 man Corona del Mar High School tennis team, contributing to his decision to focus on music.

Ulrich's drumming style has changed throughout his career. During the s he was known for his fast, aggressive thrash beats. He would often utilize the double bass technique in Latin breakbeats, which became highly popular among heavy metal drummers. Ulrich uses groove in his drum style, including clean and fast double bass beats in many songs and heavy drum fills. He has been known to drum in sync with the rhythm guitar played by James Hetfield.

In February , Ulrich's father obtained passes for five of his friends to a Deep Purple concert held in the same Copenhagen stadium as one of his tennis tournaments.

No, I have never seen him in person, but I've seen enough Met pics over the last 19 years damn, I used to hang them up in my bedroom when I was younger. Lars appears shorter than he is because of his big head. It's not valid in my opinion. So, barefoot, he ain't anything over 5'5. James is a redneck even though he's the best!!! We can't see their feet, or anything. You shouldn't post pics with only someone's upper torso. There are so many better pics to provide for evidence. I still say he is NOT less than 5'6" and change.

Kirk claims to be 5'7"-5'8". If anything Lars is just under 5'6". BTW Ayreon, Trujillo is not 5'9", seeing he appears the exact same height as Kirk, or even slightly shorter. That you can take to the bank. He looked about 5'6" and change in sneakers when I talked to him; I made a mental note of his appearing shorter in person than his advertised height not to mention what a small frame he had. So I'd just about bet the farm on 5'5.

I hope you stay running it actually. J-thanks man! Lars is only 5'5"? I would give him 5'6" and change. Dude get a pic of you two if you can and post it. BTW, where that Rollins pic? I see him all the time lately. Take into account that Kirk was only 20 in and probably didn't full stop growing. Kirk has said that he is betwen 5'7" and 5'8. Lars says 5'7" and may be rounding up slightly. James does't appear as tall as his 6'1" nowadays, but in the past, with his 3" cowboy boots, he towered over people.

Cliff had an inch on James. Jason was between 5'8" and 5'9" and Rob Trujillo says he's 5'9", but I think he's rounding, seeing Kirk appears taller than him. As for their weights, that's another discussion. James is like me. His weight fluctuates all the time. BTW, I met James about a month and a half ago and got his signature.

He's tall man. Trujillio is I think he is really close to Kirk Hammett. Like Glenn has stated he is 5'8''not 5'9''as listed in other websites. I've always seen 5'7 - 5'8. I am greek, live in germany and cm without shoes, proved by a doctor. At first I met James Hetfield cuz this dude is a god, he was in his boots about 1 or 2 cm taller than me, almost the same eyeline with me.

Then i met the rest of Metallica and Lars can't be more than cm, he didn't even reached my eyes with his hair! His eyeline was somewhere above my mouth, maybe at the same height with my chin. Kirk and Rob were almost at the same height but their tallest points reached actually my eyeline. I would rate James cm, Lars cm, Kirk cm and Rob cm. By the way you wrote Metalicca instead of Metallica! I hadn't really checked any comments here, but just now, looking at this guy, I agree with what glenn and others had said, he is shorter Though could be shorter even.

I would say According to their site he is 5'7". I'd guess — cm females — cm should be about right today. About 5'6. Very small-framed guy, too - a twig.

Where on earth does all that power come from? The latter he is known to be heavier Tale of the tape. The rest of the guys are all 5'7"". Do you have a source for that? That would make them easily the tallest scandinavians.

He just looks small compared to James Hetfield who is already 6'1 and wears thick heels alot. I think Lars and Kirk are about the same, there are alot of pics from their early years in which Lars if taller than Kirk In pictures where the 2 are standing straight, Lars consistantly comes up to right under James's nose, which would make him at the very least, 7 inches shorter than James.

So without taking into account any large boots Lars might be wearing, the 5'5'' measurement seems more accurate. I'm from Argentina and I'm 1,75 5 ft 9 which is very short for an Argentinian :S.

I think he was that height 15 years ago, but nowadays barely hits the 5'6'' mark These averages are not at all far behind averages for the general populations of many countries. Obviously in most every country young people are taller, so Finland is no different from everyone else. I'm pretty sure the average young Dutchman is about cm, and the average young Canadian is also pretty well on the 6 foot mark.

May I also note that Nightwish guitarist Emppu Vuorinen's lack of height is well known. I think he needs to work out if he's 5ft My parents are from your neck of the woods, and I know that unfortunetaly Finns are not quite as tall as their Swedish neighbours, though Finns are better at hockey.

I saw him in Helsinki last summer and he really looked short. I am only 5'8'' which is pretty short for a Finn, nevertheless I was taller than tiny Lars wearing boots Miles Jupp. Ennis Esmer. Jayson Tatum. Taylor Negron. Landry Bender. Chance Kelly. Lilly Singh.
