(Classic Rock) Lars Ulrich says Britpop icons Oasis are the soundtrack to his life. The Metallica drummer says Noel and Liam Gallagher's foul-mouthed interviews and famous swagger struck a chord with him from the moment he read a magazine article on the band and heard their debut single Supersonic on the radio.

"Oasis have been the soundtrack to my life for the last 20 years on this wonderful planet," He tells the Guardian. "In 1994 I was browsing through an issue of a magazine called Select, and there was a story about a band from England, with some unusual looking fellows, that I'd never heard of. I skimmed across the article, and was quite amused by the fact that every other word was either 'f***' or 'c**t'.

"It reeked of attitude and not giving a f***, which at the time - at the height of the 'shoegazing I can't handle being a rockstar' attitudes that were becoming mainstream - was very refreshing." Read more here.
