  • Dave for President 2012

  • 7:14

    ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE!

  • @jollyroger1889 We've been oppressing them in various direct and indirect ways for the past 60 years. We also support Israel.

    While I do agree with that to some degree, there's also the fact that his dictatorship went above and beyond freeing the German people and led to genocide and an attempt at taking over more than what Germany had lost in WWI. I think that that was his main point in saying that.

  • Dave Mustaine

  • 1:32 METALLICA RULES THE WORLD!

  • Lars was right about Napster. Sorry kids.

  • Oh no. Apparently Lars Ulrich is a dumb ass.

  • @Coltsin06 Uh-oh, someone didn't get answers they wanted.

  • Dave Mustaine for President

  • BILL "i did not have sexual relations with that woman " CLINTON is not smart! he's a fukin dope.

  • We should ask James about God

  • @VengeanceAfter He answer already, you can clearly listen it in Leper Messiah and The God that Failed

  • @ZaisaZotor Actually his thoughts have changed. James... says some things about The God that Failed before he plays it live.

    Leper Messiah is not about God at all, it's about religious hypocrisy... you know, practice what you preach.

    The God that Failed is about how God failed mother when she was sick. He blames God for it.

  • @VengeanceAfter So is James a God-believer?

  • @ZaisaZotor That, i'm not sure of

  • Fuck Bill Clinton!!! 

  • @jollyroger1889 he didnt say that hitler or any other people was NOT the bad guys, he said that it was subjective. but yeah, adolf hitler did a lot of good stuff in germany (not the jew thing, or throwing the world out in a 5 year long war) for example lowering the amount of unemployed people, making it obligatory to have holidays (esentialy he gave people the RIGHT to have them) the only problem was that there was not money for it, and that germany was ruined (in more than one way) after WW2

  • ... And Justice For Lars

  • Um... Reminds me um... of... um...

    Is Lars Ulrich retarded? video um...

  • He said a lot of great things here, I agree with everything :)

  • It was interesting to see Lars's views on these topics, great video!!

  • Where is this from?

  • I have met quite a few metal fans that think that Metallica are Republicans, pro war and they just do not get their music.

  • @JEH78 Hetfield is a gun toting, conservative, that has become very apparent as he has aged. 

  • @avidmoviefan Well..

    A far cry from the thrashers they used to be.

    That explains why they've sucked since the 80's.

  • @avidmoviefan

    High Five!

  • u must watch this video stoned,its fuckin great

  • Vote and you can pick your leaders and u dont need too start anything go to the polls like most people please???? Very sad...

  • clinton is not the smartest man in the world he is from arkansas

  • @cringleclause haha very true

  • does lars even believe in god ?

  • @rykster777 apathetic is probably what he is.

  • the only thing worse than his answers are the stupid questions.

  • @NIKKISIXX8990 you suck dick.asshole.

  • umm

  • When Mother Nature gets really pissed off.. she'll throw down..

  • i love watching lars' and mustain's interviews, their to pretty smart guys, lars and mustaine would be two people i would like to sit down with and just pick their mind on stuff

  • fuck obama....go LARS

  • Interesting how he phrased his answer to the "is God democratic?" question.

    "Closer relationship with God"... that's a phrase typically associated with non-demoninational Christianity. You wouldn't expect to hear that phrase from someone unless they thought that it was something that they wanted, or was at least curious about.

  • this left wing or right wing bullshit is stupid. why would you respect anyone any less just because they have different views than you do? If anything praise them for being honest and open then two people can agree to disagree without fighting or conflict.

  • @espChris93: I'll drink to that. The left wing and the right wing in America have moved so far away from each other that they've forgotten how to work together to make America better.

    Just look at the health care bill: Republicans refused to help out in any way, and they sat out like children. As a result, the health care bill became an effort of only Democrats, and that's why its an insane piece of legislation Iand I"m more liberal than conservative) All because they won't work together

  • @ogredm I couldnt have said it better myself. Politics has always been a dog and pony show but now more than ever nothing is solved because instead of the two parties standing for different beliefs they would rather be the polar opposite of the other side just to get votes from people who cant compromise for the greater good. In the end the citizens suffer because we are left with two choices that are so self absorbed and extreme that absolutely doing anything else would be a better approach.

  • loved the way he answered the God question! =D

  • Does anyone else say Uhm like 20 times when talking? Or am I on my own with Lars lol

  • The guys in 'tallica are really smart. If you look at some of the interviews with James also, where he gets some questions about what he thinks of Metallicas music being used to "torture" people in guantanamo

  • Lars is awesome, this video has made me a big fan of him. I like his views and I agree with everything he says, at least 95% if not all of it.

  • umm..umm...um...ummm...um...um­m

  • I'd really like to give him an Aussie bulldog. And I mean the wrestling move.

  • i downloaded this interview from napster years ago..

  • Clinton? Are you kidding me?

  • If they ever make a movie about Metallica, Michael Keaton should play Lars... They kinda look similar.

  • dictators can be good...e.g. dubai

  • Comment removed

  • Kirk should have done this interview, he's the most leftist-wing of Metallica.

    I'm a little bit disappointed with Lars' points of view, despite he is danish.

  • @edwinserebrie aftr u sit through 9 minutes of kirk's stammering interview filled with 89 ermms and uhhh and erghh,...maybe u'd wish differntly..haha

  • Are you serious??

    Kirk is a left wing?

  • Lars Ulrich for President \m/

  • @ssarush hahaha i wish...to bad he wasnt born in the states

  • I've viewed Lars as a goofball since the paylars stuff. When asked about democracy and voting the first thing he says is taxes.

    That pretty much speaks for his feelings and also the feelings of others in the entertainment industry that do so much to live tax free (bono).

    However everyones entitled to their opinions and Lars does seem rather coherent in this video.

    +1 for Lars.

  • His first laugh reminds me of Piderman from the Baman Piderman videos.

  • lol at lars at 2:27

  • Lars should just stick to playing drums and drinking jagermeister

  • om om om om

  • This is a nice interview! I agree with him on most parts, but it really doesn't matter whether or not I agree. What makes this a great interview is, that it is obvious that he has thought alot about his oppinions and how to express them, and he seems really genuine. I don't think it is something he makes up as he goes. That makes it worth whatching!

  • Who rules the world??

    MetallicA

  • He as good opinions but wrong in one matter: THERE AIN'T NO FUCKING GODS!!!!

  • I always like Lars, aside from being in an amazing band, he always struck me as a smart guy with a relevant opinion. This interview proves it very well.

  • METALLICA RULES THE WORLD! HELL YEAH!

  • jesus .......

  • i like his setting about the democracy a lot!!

  • he's going bald

  • so fucking what ! tananananananana nanananananaa na na na na ! say that to hetfield

  • He has an open mind. That is good

  • nice insights lars.

    but sorry... james for president!

  • fucking smart badass

  • Although obviously being born in Denmark, Lars still isn't a US citizen? interesting

  • LOL, he's soo bald now!

  • fuck limbaugh. I wish him and every uneducated redneck who think guns and religion is what America is about would take a shotgun and blow their brains out.

    And its hypocritical to say your a patriotic person and don't want to support the country thru taxes. When people like that say that, they are basically saying I will support my country with my life but not my money.

    bottom line bible belt jump off a bridge so i never have to hear you say anything again

  • lars is not very politically aware, but he's more on the ball than rush limbaugh, sean hannity, or mark levin, or any of those hate mongering republicans will ever be.

  • you could do the same thing with a dual tape deck back in the 80s, or 8 tracks before that.

    Make an exact duplicate that was just as good as the original.

    or if nothing else you could call a radio station have them play a song so you can record it. or just rip off columbia house with a fake name.

    Metallicas real problem was they lost their Metal for a few years and catered to the pop crowd.

    Im glad to see theyve changed that with Death Magnetic.

  • lars sound like a drunk at 4:07

  • no he don't....

  • money rules the world. find out why your name is spelled with capital letters on all official documentation....

  • could u just tell me ?

  • I believe a dictator can do good if he rises to power with ideals for the wealth of his people, I personally hate the American politics and government as so many other Europeans and even more people in the Middle-East but Obama, I believe, is a good start of change, even he isn't what I'd want to lead my nation but hey, it's already a step in the good direction.

  • lars is a smart guy.

  • He does not know what hes talking about bash me if u want he is a fake intelectual. He may sound smart but he is full of shit. I am a huge metallica fan but belive it or not i do not like lars im sorry.

  • agreed

    on the some kind of monster video he talks like he thinks having long pauses in between certain words makes people automatically think he is right. i think it just makes him more annoying.

  • Money rules the world.  The 12 year old fans Lars sued for downloading songs know that.

  • Its sad but true (no pun intended). Lars did the right thing

  • i think lars opposition to being robbed was well meant but poorly aimed

    He didnt realize the true people ripping off the artists, the recording industy itself. Most people dont download a song to resell it, most of us might have had the album or tape but it got fucked up, eaten a tape deck, lost it moving, got stolen etc.

    Furthermore i think the internet has helped newer bands get recognition they would never even be able to dream of before, reaching a much larger audience.

  • My cock rules the world

  • I think he's very insightful. Keep in mind, it's all about perspective.

  • layzgreenpeople rule!

  • lazygreenpeople

  • "what is democracy... its got something to do with young men killng each other i believe..."

    *** METALLICA ***

  • Who would you vote as the president of the world?

    Me: Metallica

  • 2:28-2:29

    be be be be

  • WTF bill clinton

  • who rules the world?

    i mean, cmon

    hint: it's not megadeth

  • stupid [ stypid ] (comparative stupider, superlative stupidest)

    adjective

    Definition:

    

    1. regarded as unintelligent: regarded as showing a lack of intelligence, perception, or common sense

    a stupid mistake

  • Does this guy eat stupid?

  • I LOVE LARS WHAT YEAR WAS THIS IN?

  • i will say that he has some Danish attitudes into things, not taking things to seriously - is is hard to put words on it XD

  • nooooo Ronald Reagan

  • I hate political labels. All it is, is what you believe, and nothing more. Humankind seems to have to put names on anything and everything, and by so doing giving them the ability to judge those names, and therefore the perceived beliefs. I'm Mormon, but I don't care if Lars Ulrich's view on democracy is different from others'. We all have our beliefs, and that's what counts. I have friends (BEST friends) from all walks of life. They're my fiends because we all love each other.

  • You know what, Fuck ass you assholes, enough said

  • Lars is actually very clever. clever enough to know that there are different points of view within the world, and clever enough to accecpt that his values are not everyones. He is no expert, but at least, unlike other babbling celebs and comentators, he knows it.

  • So many jerks writing in this video blog that it´s amazing.

    I´m just thankful that one more of the real, long standing rock stars has the guts to say something. Of course he doesn´t agree with everyone´s opinion, but being willing to speak openly is the real mark of character.

    Seems like the right wing loonies are more inclined to want to shut him up :)

  • reminds me of jack nicholson with that hairdo

    (dont worry, im paying attention to what he's saying as well jeez)

  • Lars, I love you man....but please do not talk about politics. . . . . . you obviously don't know much about politics, democracy or terrorism.

  • lars looks like michael keaton here

  • lars rules the earth

  • his mouth is like a cu*t...it just needs a big di*k inside of it.

  • Don't ask this man questions. He doesn't know anything about anything. Just let him beat on his drums like the infant that he is.

  • Lars is cute but not right about Clinton; Jesus should rule the world; period.

  • your comment = fail

  • Isnt that abit of a contradiction,

    most capitalists are anti-faggot.

    Lars is a lefty anyway , hes made a few jokes about mccain.

  • wrong! Most capitalists are pro freedom. Capitalism is freedom, the freedom of ownership, and less government ownership.

  • well thats another side to the sword,

    Economically, capitalism is freedom, but socially , capitalism removes equal freedom from everyone except those with the dosh.

    Mccain for example thinks that gays caused hurricaine catriona(sp?)

    and he supports the bible - That definatly seems super fascist to me !

  • he is quite smart

  • democracy isn't good for everyone,

    i mean how many people are in prison?,

    and how many people are in mental institutions?..

    look at how many people commit suicide each year, and how many are murdered...

    and how many people are homeless, on drugs or alcoholics...? think about it...

  • hes a smart m8uther fucker

    Lars 4 President!

  • Lars answered the Global Warming farce of a question very vaguely, and good. As to be honest its all a load of shit anyway, but if people want to believe it then fine, just dont go hectoring your ill-informed, illogical doom laden theories to the rest of us, calling us ignorant planet killers. The biggest ignorance is eco-mentalists believing that man has the ability to control nature, which simply isnt the case, nature is much more powerful than us.

  • Good point.

  • Well-stated. However, I will never be duped into believing that carbon dioxide, a life-giving and life-sustaining gas, is now an insidious and poisonous toxin.

  • Dear, for every shred of proof that you could possibly provide, I can match it with my own. There is no consensus in the scientific community on whether or not we are in a climate crisis. Many scientists claim that we are not. It is not good for you to blindly drink the Kool-Aid that Al Gore and others like him have given you. I know its cool and fashionable to be on the climate crisis train, but removing your head from your ass is the first step to enlightenment.

  • there are plenty of people who dont belive in global warming just cuz they dont want to change their lives or they dont want to give up making money off fucking up the planet. There people with their head up their asses on both sides, but im the logical assumption for an individual is that all the smoke getting pumped into the air cant be good. If i hear from a a lot of places that the world might end due to carbon emissions, id rather keep it on my mind than just consider it a case closed.

  • There is no global warming crisis.

  • there is no brain in your head

  • AndJusticeForMe

  • Real democracy doesn't exist until states supports politicians campaigns. For example Wal-Mart supports with a lot of money to someone 's campaign, then when the candidate is elected he must obey the company that helped him to get there (that's obvious, if i give some money i want it to comeback someway). So if the government supports all campaigns and privates helps are forbidden they (candidates) will only obey to public needs.

  • weve been oppressed for the last 7 yrs by pres idiot

  • y da hell is everyone fiting about religion? For da dictor bit i have to admit i like how Nazi ruled Germany, well other dan da racism. Economical they were just like.... hey were going broke so why don't we make our own money? Something welmar republic didn't think of. Of cause on a global scale hitler's douchedollars were worth very little.

  • Ever hear of the Kyoto Protocol?

  • "democracy means sueing the fuck out of any pathetic grab-asses that used napster."

  • LARS YOU'RE A LIBERAL SAY IT AINT SO!?!?!?

    global warming doesn't exist it's just a topic created by liberals to mold the minds of the weak so they can have another running topic.

    "is democracy good for everyone?"

    only good for people that are educated or willing to learn

    dictators are good if you need to get shit done FAST other than that they are bad in the long run

  • wow, you're are so uninformed. read a book.

  • How i hate conservative talking points. Global warming is not just a issue in the U.S. Its international issue as well.Most other countries recognize that its happening, pretty much all of the scientific community. Most of the people in the U.S, Believe its happening. So those points alone proves your statement to be completely false.The fallacy that its not happening is being spread by the same firm that the tobacco companies used to say tobacco was not harmful

  • I want the smartest guy..and the smartest guy is lars ulrich...solars ulrich should be president of the world ^^

  • wait...lars isnt an american citizen?

  • very smart in my opinion.

  • i wish people didnt think that being christian is such a boring lifestyle. christian people give a message that makes every christian sound like a pansy but thats not how it is. i mean u dont have to be absolutely perfect to go to heaven cuz that would be boring. cuz jesus wasnt a pussy. i would like to see u go through all the shit that he did. theres nothin wrong with playin a little heavy metal so why are so many metalheads afraid of getting close to God?

  • there's no real proof other than the bible that jesus existed...its not that we think christianity is boring...its restricted in many ways and we metal heads dont like restrictions that's all...and plus we dont blv everything ONE book says

  • "there's no real proof other than the bible that jesus existed"

    Historians almost unanimously agree that Jesus DID exist and his life DID go as it is recorded in the Bible due to MANY outside references to a man named Jesus from Galilee. the Romans, Greeks, Jews, and Arabs all have historical writings about Jesus, not just the Bible. I am wondering if u know much about this topic or you're just trying to spread your atheist propaganda.

  • well first of all i never said i was athiest. secondly ive studied christianity for a LONG time way before you were even born my friend..probably. now as far as your historians go. they're also people no matter how much reaserch they go through they've still been raised to beleive in christ/god like most people are..nothing wrong with it but that's just the case. so its natural for the majority of them and the world to support the life of christ

  • and finally for all the writings that you mention are NOT about christ.Those are in reference to a miracle worker;criss angel can be perceived as a miracle worker..so can sai so can some of the way older and more original miracle workers from older and more authentic religions like Hinduism pali and those religions have had people far more miraculous than christ. those writings referred to miracle workers not christ but its natural that you'd assume its jesus with no proof like most christians.

  • So your theory about me being atheist another assumption of yours, but i can assure you i know enough about this topic. but since you believe whatever you're told since you were a kid like most christians, i respect your opinion. my point restated there is NO other solid proof about jesus's life & miracles other than the bible and plus there are about 100's who've done the same shit before him except getting nailed to a cross...but people have had horrific deaths for good causes before.

  • it isnt about being afraid of getting close to god, its about weither you believe in it or not.

    now, the bible says there is good and evil...evil technically doesnt exist globally as it is a subjective term.

    and even if it did exist...christianity is evil, it is anti-human rights.

    Get your morals from basic human rights, not some facist fictional character.

  • yeah that makes a lot of sense...christianity is evil? how is a message that preaches peace, love of all, and acceptance evil? you can argue that some of the men who run the Church are corrupt because like all men, they are not perfect and are faced with temptation just like everyone else. thats what people dont get...they aren't perfect robots, priests are tempted like you and me. so that 1% of men who are sexually wierd molest boys...protestants have em too, dont be misled.

  • "how is a message that preaches peace, love of all, and acceptance evil?" - sure, eye for an eye logic (taught in the bible I believe), thats not evil at all [/sarchasm]

  • Lars is so bald! he's got a megea shiny forehead! he needs to shave his hair, he looks so silly hehe :) quite funny listening to his take on democracy!

  • I think it is 90% chance the next metallica album will flop!The people who will buy it is the hard-core fans.

  • i concure

  • i wish people didnt think that being christian is such a boring lifestyle. christian people give a message that makes every christian sound like a pansy but thats not how it is. i mean u dont have to be absolutely perfect to go to heaven cuz that would be boring. cuz jesus wasnt a pussy. i would like to see u go through all the shit that he did. theres nothin wrong with playin a little heavy metal so why are so many metalheads afraid of getting close to God?

  • Apparently, you don't have to spell absolutely perfect either! It's not that being xtian is boring; it's that its not true! No, Jesus was not a pussy, but he never existed either. If you believe that there is an invisible spook living in the sky that will send you to a heaven/hell...you need anti-psychotic meds. I bet Santa and the Easter Bunny still visit your house...

  • Man...Today is Lars Ulrich's birthday...let's sing happy birthday for the guy

  • Why is this guy so stressed out all the time?Looks like he is going to take a shit all the time!

  • Maybe he does have to take a shit...maybe he is smart and is thinking what to say...maybe he is concerned about what idiots like you will post on youtoube...why not post something interesting about the content, Brainless Fool!?
