The year of 2020 has been an abnormal one for all of us and, for musicians, being consigned to the house for an extended period of time was especially unusual. With 2021 on the horizon, Rolling Stone has been conducting year-in-review styled interviews where Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich recently summed up his year, naming the album he listened to the most, among other things.
While Metallica remained relatively active with the release of the
S&M2 live album and concert film the band filmed a concert to be played at drive-in locations as well as a Zoom performance where fans were able to digitally attend and be seen in the room it was still a period of tremendous downtime for Ulrich. With that time came family bonding through movies and bike riding, as well as revisiting some old favorites when it came to music.
