METALLICA Drummer Admits 'Truth' Behind DOWNLOAD 2004 No-Show - June 10, 2006
According to NME.COM, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has finally made it to the U.K.'s Download festival, and finally admitted the "truth" behind his no-show two years ago.

The METALLICA drummer — who headlines the Donington site tonight (June 10) — had to miss the same date in 2004 after being hospitalized with a mysterious "medical emergency."

He was replaced by Joey Jordison of SLIPKNOT and SLAYER's Dave Lombardo.

Now, talking to NME.COM before tonight's performance, he has revealed the terrible truth! Ulrich said: "Somebody asked me if it was true that my wife caught me with two prostitutes and an eight-ball (of cocaine). But that's actually not what happened.

"What happened was I caught my wife with two prostitutes and an eight-ball. And she wouldn't fucking let me join them! I got all hot and bothered and I didn't make it."

Tonight will be METALLICA's seventh appearance at Donington, and Ulrich says he is still as thrilled as ever.

"This is ground zero, he said. "This is the shit, its the place you want to be if you're in a rock band. This is the only show I get nervous for. I got fucking terrified. I'll have to take a Xanax or something!"

METALLICA are expected to play classic album "Master Of Puppets" in its entirety, as they have been in Europe this past week. Ulrich also hinted that they may play some new material tonight.

Big mouth, tiny penis.

One problem with the story. Lars is never ever without an 8-ball. Ask him how many days he spent in a bathroom with Sam Kinison doing blow. Now that's the story!

The good thing about Metallica these days -- and there are many things to be down about, if you're a true fan -- is that they're usually pretty creative with the setlist.

Over the past few years, they've brought back some of the more obscure tracks from the first four albums.

There was a time in the mid-'90s when I never thought I'd hear them play 'Metal Militia' or 'Ride the Lightning' ... or 'Leper Messiah.' But they've gotten around to it, and that's at least commendable.

The two elements that are severely hampering Metallica's live show are:

1) James' deteriorating vocals
2) Lars' sloppy, out-of-practice drumming

These two things, sadly, will probably never get corrected. That's why their willingness to dig deep for song choices is a key part of keeping their live show entertaining.

Next song up ought to be 'Frayed Ends of Sanity'! They've done 'Dyers Eve', surely they can pull that one off.

>>>Well, Go figure out which year MoP was released, count 20 years from that year and think about what year it is now, and you'll maybe have a clue! (hint=anniversary, first gold-album, last cliff-album)
