Lars Ulrich
  　　Lars Ulrich,1963年12月26日出生在丹麦Gentofte.是美国著名重金属乐队Metallica的创建者之一,一直是Metallica的鼓手.
Lars的家庭是丹麦中产阶级,他的父亲Torben Ulrich是丹麦七十年代到八十年代初的有名气的网球手,同时精通爵士乐,传奇萨克斯手Dexter Gordon是Lars Ulrich的教父.
1973年2月份,因为他父亲在哥本哈根体育场有网球赛事,所有他拥有体育场的出入证,而那时Deep Purple也在这个体育场举行现场演唱会.原本他父亲是和朋友一起去看现场的,但是有个朋友没来,于是就带了当时9岁多的Lars Ulrich去看了Deep Purple现场.不料才9岁多的Lars从此被摇滚乐吸引住了,第二天他就去买了Deep Purple的Fireball专辑.Deep Purple和这张专辑Fireball对Lars产生了启蒙,把他带入了摇滚乐.13岁的时候开始练习打鼓(或许他父亲也在搞爵士乐吧,所以去练鼓?).即使如此,他父亲也以为这是Lars的爱好,他决定把Lars送到美国去练打网球.
到了美国的Lars Ulrich,发现了英国重金属乐队Diamond Head,从此成为Diamond Head铁杆歌迷,Diamond Head对以后Metallica影响非常大.而在同一时期,他在洛杉矶当地报纸The Recycler上看见了James Hetfield的广告,于是他和James Hetfield碰面了,两人都对英国重金属新浪潮很喜欢,Metallica于是就这样诞生了.
Metallica一直是被誉为Thrash Metal开创乐队,Metallica起初Thrash风格的歌曲中许多快速的鼓点是Lars独自创作的,比如Kill 'Em All中的"Metal Militia", Ride the Lightning中的"Fight Fire With Fire",...And Justice for All中的 "Dyers Eve"以及Master of Puppets的"Battery".但是随着Metallica的名气越来越大,也烦恼过许多炫丽的鼓技,不过还是很多经典的片段,比如"One"后段快速双踩和"Enter Sandman"的开头那段.
Napster事件
2000年4月起,Lars反对Napster,认为这是侵犯了Metallica的版权,并对Napster提起诉讼,结果引来许多人的不满,这些歌迷把Lars Ulrich刻画成一个有贪婪又自负的形象.
