Lars Ulrich defends reviled album


Metallica album "St. Anger 'from 2003 but the group's fans was not happy and now explains the group's Danish drummer Lars Ulrich, what lay behind the maligned notes:

- I see 'St. Anger 'as an isolated experiment. People must remember that I am the biggest Metallica fan of them all. We have been known to move boundaries and it is necessary sometimes. Metallica had already recorded 'Ride The Lightning', which I deem to be an excellent album. There was no reason to do a remake, says Lars Ulrich said in an interview with Classic Rock Magazine.

'St. Anger 'was particularly criticized for the interminable numbers. According to Lars Ulrich was quite conscious that they were longer than usual:

- When we heard the album from start to end, it felt almost like getting beaten. It was almost about to mistreat listeners and challenge our fans. So we decided to let the songs be as they were - completely unedited, explains the Danish star, although sympathetic to the criticism:

- I can understand why people thought that the numbers were too long, he announces.

Danish band hits top of the charts in the U.S.



If Mette Lindberg and Lars Iversen from the Danish Indie pop duo AsteroidsGalaxy Tour weren't thrilled, they probably are now.

For the numerous commercial breaks in the great American/Canadian Stanley Cup finals, which had millions of viewers, have turned their song 'GoldenAge' into a smash hit in America.

- It's huge. We are a new band on a small label, and we do everything else ourselves, Mette Lindberg tells the Canadian newspaper Winnipeg Free Press.

The Heineken brewery used "The Golden Age" in their commercial "The Entrance", which has really been invaluable for Asteroids Galaxy Tour.

Mette Lindberg sings in the commercial, and after millions of hockey-mad Canadians and Americans have seen it again and again in the many breaks of the final between the Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks, "The Golden Age" was an unexpected hit.

Six million people have been on YouTube to hear the song, and it has paved the way for Asteroids Galaxy Tour in the States, giving them several festival jobs.
