Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has revealed he’s suffering from tinnitus.
Talking to CNN, Ulrich says: “It’s this constant ringing in the ears. It never sort of goes away. It never just stops.”
He first noticed the problem during the band’s 1988 tour: “I would fall asleep often with the television on, and I would wake up in the middle of the night to go turn the TV off. Except it wasn’t actually on. When I realized that I was doing that frequently, actually getting up to turn the TV off that was not on to begin with, I realized that maybe I had some issues.”
It’s because he’s had his head stuck up his arse for years!
Not only is this the least surprising story I’ve ever read, I can think of at least one very credible alternative to Lars’s senses not being up to scratch c.1988.
Not a surprise. Me too. That is the converse pain to the pleasure of Rock Music.
Me to! It’s the curse of the rock n’ roll lifestyle…
That explains why he couldn’t hear the crap mastering job on last album.
