December 23, 2021, 2 years ago
Metallica celebrated their 40th anniversary with two concerts at Chase Center in San Francisco, California on December 17 and 19. Drummer Lars Ulrich took to instagram to reflect on the shows and thank the band's fans.
Says Lars: "Overfuckinwhelmed!! It’s taking me two days just to start coming down from this otherworldly experience…
Over the course of the last week, you’ve heard me do a few speeches and say a lot of things, so since I don’t wanna repeat myself (too much!), I’ll keep this one on the short side.
THANK YOU!
Metallica is not me or you.
Metallica is all of us.
It’s a state of mind that we all share, it’s a destination we all seek out , it’s an element that keeps us alive, it’s our common purpose.
You keep this real.
You keep us inspired and alive.
It is because of you this thing exists.
40 years?!
Who would’ve fucking thought that this, whatever this is, could live and breathe this long, could still connect people, could still be somewhat relevant and still exist forty years later??!!
Thank you to each and everyone of you for making it happen.
Thank you to each and everyone of you for believing in the possibility of music.
Thank you to each and everyone of you for being Metallica."
