“We are trying to find any possible ways to connect with our fans and with the Metallica family,” Lars Ulrich says about the current pandemic. “I think that a positive coming out of these five dark months is that it's forcing you to rethink what you know and what we're so used to, so a new world order calls for new experimental times and shenanigans.” In his At Home With conversation with Zane Lowe, the Metallica drummer and co-founder says he has been spending time with his sons, watching lots of music documentaries and concerts on YouTube, and working out to Iron Maiden. He also gave an update on future Metallica plans: “We've spent a few of the summer months trading riffs and ideas, throwing creative thoughts back and forth through Zoom calls and other technologies.” As the band returns with a new live album and concert film release, Metallica and San Francisco Symphony: S&M2, Ulrich has curated an exclusive Apple Music playlist of songs inspired by his binge-watching and including Thin Lizzy, Joni Mitchell, Dire Straits, and U2, whose track “Bad” is included here. “In 1985, it was completely unprecedented,” he says of U2's iconic Live Aid performance, in which Bono pulled a concertgoer out of an overexcited crowd at Wembley Stadium. “Bono went into the audience and grabbed the girl, which really was the point that made U2 superstars. It was just such a moment that the world had never really experienced before.”
