Heavy Consequence caught up with Lars Ulrich and Robert Trujillo on the red carpet of the premiere of the documentary “Metallica Saved My Life” at the Tribec Festival, and the two talked about the why it was important to put the spotlight on their fans in the film, which was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jonas Åkerlund.
Says Lars: “ Well, I think that there’s so many great stories to be told, there’s so much diversity, and I think probably the greatest thing about our fans and all the people that are turned on and inspired and caught up in our music, is how different they are. And so if we were standing here, say 40 years ago, it would be much easier to define who they are. But today, 44 years later, it’s almost impossible to define. So I always say, if you’ve got 10 people, you get 10 different stories. You get a hundred people, you get a hundred different stories. And just trying to share some of those stories and get a little bit of a peek into the lives and their points of view, their diversity, what they go through to be part of all of this. And it’s just great for us to kind of turn the spotlight away from us and on to the fans and get a chance to hear their stories. And that’s been the best part of the last three years on this project.”
Robert adds: “The fans are as important as the music. They’re as important as we are. They’re attached to everything that we do, and they’re the reason we’re here now. They’re the reason we’re on tour. They mean so much to us, and vice versa. So it’s amazing to see their stories and hear what they have to tell. And it’s very international, and it goes deep.”
