Lars Ulrich says returning to the stage has been emotional.
In a new interview, the Metallica drummer talked about returning to the road for their first live shows since late 2019.
He explained, “Very emotional on every level. Obviously, it’s invigorating and it’s inspiring and it’s just great to get back out there. I believe that in the six hundred years Metallica’s been going that that’s been the longest absence from the live stage we’ve ever had. When we stepped on stage at The Independent in San Francisco about two weeks ago now, [we were] definitely nervous. [It was] a little daunting. ‘How do we do this again? We hope the muscle memory will come back.’ And, obviously, we’d been rehearsing and prepping and staying in shape, but you never know.”
