Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich recently sat down with Mike Hogan at 92 Y for an extensive career-spanning interview, in which he weighed in at length on the sexual harrassment allegations that have effectively ruined the career of Harvey Weinstein aaand are bound to affect the music industry. Check out the interview below.

Ulrich: "Everywhere is going to have a reckoning. I think the great thing is that we're in the first inning of this, and, obviously, it's long overdue. And I think that it's a great, great thing that everybody is standing up and that everybody, no matter what gender they are, feels safe in talking about their experiences and that, as a victim in any kind of situation, that you don't feel that you have to carry it yourself, that you have a platform and that you can feel safe in there." 

“Join us as we take the stage for a 75-minute set rounding out a night featuring G-Eazy, Rancid, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, Dead & Company, and Raphael Saadiq for the Band Together Bay Area benefit concert this Thursday, November 9th starting at 5:45 PM, PST,” says Metallica. “100% of the ticket price will benefit Northern California fire relief and good seats are still available at Ticketmaster.com!
