Lars Ulrich’s favorite albums

This list is great. There’s nothing worse than being into a rock band and then finding out the band members aren’t even into the type of music they play. Metallica’s drummer has picked his Top 15 Metal Albums. RATM? SOAD? Bon Scott era AC/DC and Alice in Chains from the 90’s? I expected Motorhead but honestly Iron Maiden and Judas Priest I figured were too mainstream. This is awesome and I’m very surprised about the inclusion of Guns N’ Roses as Metallica & G-N’-R have history together.** I’d love to listen to all these albums in order to get more of an idea of his mindset.
