Metallica fans were shocked during the band’s most recent concert after Lars Ulrich stunned the audience by removing a prosthetic limb from an orphan child and using it to play St. Anger.
The incident occurred during the band’s performance of St. Anger at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada. As the song started, Lars Ulrich noticed an orphan child in the front row and quickly approached the child, removing the prosthetic limb from the child’s arm without warning.
The child, who had reportedly been hoping to get a chance to meet the band, was understandably shocked and started to cry. Ulrich, however, paid no attention and instead began to play the song using the prosthetic limb as a drumstick.
The crowd was stunned by the stunt, and some of the more sensitive members of the audience began to boo Ulrich. However, the majority of fans cheered and applauded the unique performance.
Following the performance, Ulrich returned the prosthetic limb to the child, who quickly ran away from the stage. Metallica’s lead singer, James Hetfield, took the opportunity to address the audience, saying, “I’m sure you all agree that Lars has a unique way of expressing himself.”
The incident has since gained attention from news outlets worldwide, with many questioning Ulrich’s decision to use a prosthetic limb from an orphan child in a live performance.
Metallica’s management has since released a statement saying they had no knowledge of what Ulrich was planning to do and that they do not condone his actions.
Nevertheless, the stunt has become a talking point among fans of the band, with some praising Ulrich’s creativity and others criticizing his decision to use a prosthetic limb from an orphan child in a live show.
