March 7, 2017, 7 years ago
During Metallica's three night stand in Mexico City, which concluded on March 5th, drummer Lars Ulrich spoke with Paola Rojas for the Las Estrellas television network. During the interview, found below, Ulrich addressed controversial US president Donald Trump's executive order to build a wall to separate Mexico and the US in the "fight against drugs and crime."
Ulrich: "I don't think the world needs any walls. I think we need to bring people together. Whether we're in Mexico or whether we're in Asia or whether we're in Europe or whatever, we encourage as many different people from as many different backgrounds to come together and share music and life and culture and all these experiences.
