Metallica Wanted To Fire Lars?
. The Anthrax man became close friends with Metallica in the 80s when the two bands toured together. He overheard the plan to sack Ulrich, which was hatched during Cliff Burton's final tour with Metallica before his tragic death in a bus accident in 1986. Ian tells 94.3 Kilo: "A lot of people have been asking me about this, and that story's actually been out there for a long time. I'm not outing this - that would never be my intention. My book's not like an expose. It's not that kind of a book. "But the story was they had made a plan that they were gonna make a change and get a new drummer. We were all kind of blown away by that, because it was the four of them. It was like, 'Wow! Really?' And they were, like, 'Yeah. When we finish this tour, we're gonna find a new drummer.' "What could I do? Just as a guy who was friends with all of them, you feel, 'That's a bummer for Lars. That sucks.' And at the same time, you hope your friends can continue on and do what they wanna do with themselves. Read more here. TeamRock Radio is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
