Baby Rock Records has come up with something *amazingly* out-of-the-box. Imagine tucking your 5 year old kid in at night and to get him/her to dreamland ASAP we dont have to use sheep anymore. The sheep are replaced by Metallica! Yes, thats right- BabyRock Records has transformed some Metallica classics like Enter Sandman, Wherever I May Roam and hold your breath..the thrash metal classic "Battery" (!) into lullabies in an album called "Rockabye baby: Lullaby renditions of Metallica". They claim to have brought down the "volume from an eleven to two" and "made the bed ourselves" to "rock" little kids to sleep :). One CD for 17 bucks, and it's going to be interesting to watch how many parents invest in making the next Hetfield's, Hammett's and Ulrich's while they fall asleep in bed!
Ive been a worshipper of Lars Ulrich ever since I first heard Metallica. No surprise that many around the world consider him the best drummer there ever was/is. Here are some interesting facts about him and quotes of his I found on the internet while Metallica and his drumming was keeping me company at 4am last night
- Lars Ulrich (born in Gentofte, Denmark) was in his early days considered a tennis prodigy. His dad was noted tennis player and jazz musician. It was only when his dad took him to a Deep Purple concert in Copenhagen that he was introduced to the world of rock. His trip to Los Angeles at the age of 17 was supposed to hone his tennis skills and train him to become a sportsman, but instead he ran into a certain James Hetfield in LA, and the rest is hisotry.
-His passion for the band: "The day Metallica's over, i'm not going to put an ad looking for another band. I'll put my drumsticks on the shelf and there's 14 other things I wanna try. Metallica's the only band I've ever been and it's the only I ever wanna be in.”
-"The minute you wake up, it's there. That feeling in your stomach...Like, it's noon and you wanna go on stage and get going, but you got nine hours of sweaty palms ahead of you."
Hail King Lars!
