In a desperate attempt to prove that he still has relevance in the music industry, Metallica’s drummer Lars Ulrich recently decided to prove himself by eating his own drum set. The stunt was broadcast live on Lars’ Instagram account, and it quickly gained the attention of millions across the world.
For the stunt, Lars chose to eat a full set of high-end drums, starting with the cymbals and then moving on to the toms, snare, and bass drum. He did this all while still playing a beat on the drum heads with his drumsticks, much to the shock and awe of viewers.
Though the stunt was met with some skepticism, Lars’ manager quickly pointed out that this was an important step in Lars’ attempt to stay relevant in the music industry. “Yes, Lars has been around for a long time, but he knows that he has to do something to stay current,” said the manager. “Eating his own drum set seemed like the perfect way to show people that he’s still here and that he still has something to offer.”
Though Lars has not commented on the stunt, his fans have been overwhelmingly supportive. Many have taken to social media to express their admiration for Lars’ bold move and the sheer audacity of it.
As for Lars, this stunt may have been the first of many to come. He’s already planning to eat a full set of guitars and bass guitars next, and he’s even toying with the idea of eating a full studio setup.
Only time will tell what Lars will do next, but it’s clear that he’s determined to prove that he still has a place in the music industry.
