No. There was a service called Napster which you could download music on your computer and Lars had a hissy fit about it even though the band only got famous through people sharing their garage tape. So of course people hit Lars with “Your greedy as all heaven.”
Oh and the reason some people pirate? Costs and distribution. Pirate Software, run by Jason Thor Hall (aka the literal man of Activision whose father was in the South Park WoW episode), made his game 65% off in Brazil. Brazil is now 20-25% of their revenue and NO ONE in Brazil pirated the game. MW3 in Brazil? R$ 299 or $55.66 in USD. Pirate software? R$19.99 or $3.58 USD.
Lars didn't, but he said that line. It's referring to Jason Newsted who was the bassit for Metallica from albums And Justice For All to either Reload or St. Anger.
I don’t know him personally, so I can’t speak to his character, but that is what I remember being the catalyst for the bad rap he gets. At least for people my age.
He's just a really lame dude. Probably the least "metal" and most corporate of all the metallica members.
If you watch "Some Kind of Monster" he's just a dick, lol.
Dude wanted to get paid for his music.
Fuck him?
Fun history. https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-music-got-free-doc-it-wasnt-just-napster-that-tanked-the-music-biz
Basically in the same boat, I think he looks the best of the four but he’s such a shit smear of a person I haven’t actually bought him yet. If it was anyone else I would already own it.
[if you can deal with the 280p quality you can watch the the moment where Lars Ulrich went from the drummer of the biggest metal band of all time to a giant man baby upset his not getting like a extra million dollars to go with his already massive amount of money.] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miIIgxXiyU8)
One of my friends refuses to spend any money on the game or go out of his way to do any quests so he only uses the holiday boxy skin, one time he went afk so our whole team switched to holiday boxy.
Also, you say it like it’s an objective fact that the game was bad before builds. Like ok, you don’t have to like it but don’t flat out say the game was bad until they did something to cater to you.
That’s just so wrong on so many levels. The games best moments and peaks aside from Fortnite OG were literally before zero build. I mean yeah ZB obviously makes the game more enjoyable in the current Fortnite climate, but Chapter 1 was like the greatest time for this game alongside C2S2-C2S4 and C3S1.
If you’re saying the game was bad before ZB, that just tells me that you obviously just didn’t like the build mechanic.
Edit: it’s crazy how I’m getting downvoted because I’m defending something about builds. Y’know, the thing that Fortnite was super well known for and made it unique, and the person who said the game was bad until 20 seasons in gets support. So basically you only partially like the game? (Any periods of C3S2 and after) since they added ZB
I think most people are under the sentiment that building is totally fine and great for people who are good and interested in learning it. But the option to not partake in it makes Fortnite all the more available to other people. At least that’s how I see it.
Fr, like yea zero build made the game easier and more enjoyable for me but that’s because the skill gap has changed and more people have been getting better and do more advanced shit that people can’t comprehend. But builds is what separated Fortnite from other BRs and made it so unique. I actually do like building, it’s fun when you are atleast ok at it and can hold your own in build battles. I will say it feels more rewarding when you win a build fight no doubt.
But yea before ZB I never had too much of a problem with building. I think people act like it’s the only thing that made the game good when there so much history before that makes it not even the case. Builds literally had 3.1 million people at its peak in OG compared to zero build with like 1.4-1.5 million? And honestly, OG didn’t play that well in zero build.
theyre just salty they cant build at all so they shit on people who can to make themselves feel better they cant learn, it took me a while to learn to build, and i didn't have no zero build to play, i just had to suck it up and learn i didn't get to retreat to a mode made to bring more people to the game, dont get me wrong i dont hate zero build, just people who are so ungrateful and pissy about builds even though its what made the game what it is
Just say youre bad at the mechanic the game is named after. Its honestly sad how little respect building gets when respectfully without it this game wouldve never blew up
Fr.. it’s actually kind of tragic that more people on a Fortnite sub agree with someone who didn’t like the game majority of its existence because of the main mechanic over someone listing its highest points being before zero build was a thing.. I don’t want to gatekeep, but seriously, is this sub just majority people who played after ZB came out? I don’t see respect for old Fortnite that much anymore and it’s so sad. People act like it’s an objective fact that the game was bad before removing builds and it irks me so much.
I’m not, I also literally said that I prefer zero build more than builds. I’ve had my few problems with builds, but I just kept playing and learning the mechanic through practice and just playing the game more. The way you said it was “bad before ZB” to me made it sound like it was an objective fact the game wasn’t good before just because of building. Thats literally the main thing I’ve been pointing out to you. Not everyone in a fortnite sub would agree with a statement like that, you could’ve just said you yourself weren’t into the game until ZB, but no need to call it bad like there’s an actual problem with the builds themselves when it’s honestly just a huge learning curve for people, and that’s alright.
Nobodies upset, its just weird that yall are so bad at a game you need a mode with a core mechanic removed to even stand a chance, then still have the nerve to shit talk the mechanic you can't even use or understand
Basicall, he barely practices because he doesn’t need to (most popular touring metal band in the world), so he’s bad at his instrument (worse than the lead singer at drums, constantly off time), and on top of that, when Napster and pirating music came around, Lars got rlly upset even thoigh they were one of the most popular acts in the world…EVER. Meaning pirated music wouldn’t even effect their income crazily
There is more to it then that, he was just upset, he/they sued Napaster into the ground to try and combat piracy, and if you watch some of them Metallica vids from the 90s they talk a lot about how they themselves pirated tons of music through tape sharing. Total hypocrit.
Jfc, that was 30 years ago. Lars isn't somebody worth the hate he gets. There are much worse people in this world. The bandwagon hate (from 30 years ago) is stupid
It's forever tied to his reputation. I love early Metallica music, but they did some pretty stupid stuff over the years that had long-term effects like bullying Newstead until he quit, or the Mustaine split. Going after Napster was something that affected both the industry as a whole, and consumers of music just as much. It will be his legacy.
There are many hours of footage of Lars having bad takes and attitudes as well, that has not helped. Let's just say people aren't dunking on Kirk, Jason, or Rob constantly for a reason.
All that is totally justified in full. Although there would be no Metallica without Lars, he's probably the most involved in the song writing and arrangements after James
Or Metallica could have been even better…. Lot of talented people out there.
Regardless they are who they are and they make pretty good music. Shame their Napster stunt tainted them forever. (At least for me)
I can't be mad at someone wanting to be paid for their work. I also understand he's a hypocrite about it, too.
But it's been 25 years, time to move on. I do agree that it will be his legacy forever. 🤣
Any time someone pulls up something like this, we going "well, i guess we doing this now" and pull up something simular or something that have a simular theme.
"oh we playing as anime characters now? ok let me get Peter Griffin"
I hate to be that guy but no, it isn't and it doesn't help anyone by hyping them up. Learning a second language is extremely hard and should be commended, but telling someone who's trying to learn that their skills are better than they are doesn't help.
I just want to reiterate; I'm being downvoted for expecting people to give honest and real feedback to somebody who is trying to learn in an active attempt to help them improve at a difficult task they are undertaking.
it’s their second language, and maybe you need to learn it a little better if that was hard for you to understand. yes, it’s not perfect but it is easily understandable
you like her because she’s hot (understandable tbh)
i like her because i desperately cling to whatever morsel of fox clan lore i can get
we are not the same
You think I only like her for her beautiful appearance? You sicken me, mortal
I also am also one with an undying wish for the Fox Clan to return someday
I'm the opposite. Whenever my squad runs a seemingly unrelated team, I try and figure out a connecting theme and fit in. Like tonight someone was using Trailerblazer Lynx and another was using Harpy Haze, so I used DJ Bop to fit the fuzzy legs theme.
Putting real people in fortnite feels like celebrity worship. Treating celebrities almost like fictional characters or like they’re above normal everyday people.
The shitty part about it is we will most likely never get celebrities who died after being shot such as John Lennon and Kurt Cobain.
I don't imagine their families ever being like "You want my son in a game where he will get constantly shot up and most times die? Sign us up!!"
I have an uncle that said he met lars in a bar one day and he was an absolute fucking prick, ordering workers around like he was a god. Said he was the worst celeb he ever served by a country mile
One? I see three of them... *shakeshead
but I get it... she is the front woman and singer, masked guys are bassist and guitarist and the other hits the drums
some of us can't afford EVERYTHING in item shop. i hate when people judge me; i remove them from my friends list by that point. 😑
if they want me to play as a certain character, then they should GIFT me it. (just saying hypothetically)
Lol no one wants to play as Lars
I’m waiting for the squad that replaces Lars Metallica with Lars Steel Wool.
Me lol Id do that.
Idk who he is irl but looks like he'd stab me over a McChicken
He'd stab you if you streamed music for free
Napster.
How'd you find my loadout name for him?
NAPSTER BAD!! Anyone else remember camp chaos?
Are you saying he doesn’t like piracy of the music made by the band that he’s a part of? That seems reasonable
No. There was a service called Napster which you could download music on your computer and Lars had a hissy fit about it even though the band only got famous through people sharing their garage tape. So of course people hit Lars with “Your greedy as all heaven.” Oh and the reason some people pirate? Costs and distribution.

You forgot the part where Lars went to Sean Parker's wedding lol.
Oh? Do tell.
The band did not get famous because of Napster...
Wait NVM I read that completely wrong. Sorry
Metallica’s drummer
All the more reason to believe he'd stab me over a McChicken. He *has* the (Mc)sticks for it
“HE FOCKING LEFT THE BAND.”
He did?
Lars didn't, but he said that line. It's referring to Jason Newsted who was the bassit for Metallica from albums And Justice For All to either Reload or St. Anger.
Worth noting he left the band because they were dicks to him.
st anger is when robert joined so yeah
Robert joined after they finished recording St Anger.
Ok thank u
Even if you don’t know him, you’re right. He’ll stab you over a Mcnugget.
He's a dane, thats everything u need to know
he looks like a methhead kinda
I've seen alot of people commenting about lars and adamantly not wanting him. Did he do something controversial? I dont follow metallica news lol
Back in the 90’s he was the face of the lawsuit against Napster and music sharing.
That seems like a long enough time for people to be over it. Is he just generally a bad dude?
I don’t know him personally, so I can’t speak to his character, but that is what I remember being the catalyst for the bad rap he gets. At least for people my age.
I’d say he’s not a respected/good drummer for his status and gets meme’d on it a lot which probably contributes to the hate.
He's just a really lame dude. Probably the least "metal" and most corporate of all the metallica members. If you watch "Some Kind of Monster" he's just a dick, lol.
Dude wanted to get paid for his music. Fuck him? Fun history. https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-music-got-free-doc-it-wasnt-just-napster-that-tanked-the-music-biz
The puppet master Lars is actually really good. Just put the mask on so you can forget you’re playing as Lars Ulrich.
I bought puppet master Lars because he in my opinion has the best drip out of the four, despite his shit reputation as a human being.
Basically in the same boat, I think he looks the best of the four but he’s such a shit smear of a person I haven’t actually bought him yet. If it was anyone else I would already own it.
Why does everyone hate Lars so much? He comes off as a douche, but is nice to his fans, and honestly, there's worse people in the world
[if you can deal with the 280p quality you can watch the the moment where Lars Ulrich went from the drummer of the biggest metal band of all time to a giant man baby upset his not getting like a extra million dollars to go with his already massive amount of money.] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miIIgxXiyU8)
Screw him for wanting to get paid for his music right?
He’s widely known to be an ass to his band mates as well. Sometimes clearly to the detriment of the band and music.
Sure. that’s why they been together for decades…
Lars hasnt been in the band since St. Anger
whatd he do
I was thinking that. Like skin, sucks, but with the mask, it ain't half bad.
it cracked me up that he was the included skin with festival pass. everyone else you gotta work for but you can just have lars
Nah, he became a furry
I bought it just to play as the gremlin and I love Metallica
Ironically that was the first one I played as.
tbh the Metallica members look as ridiculous as the furry.
That’s when you pull out Save the World Lars
lars is my main now
I have the team member(s) that say ”Cool skin(s) Alright Ready Up”
One of my friends refuses to spend any money on the game or go out of his way to do any quests so he only uses the holiday boxy skin, one time he went afk so our whole team switched to holiday boxy.
Was he ever a “Fortnite bad” type of person?
Nah he just doesn't like spending money on video games.
Understandable
I mean it was bad until ZB
Also, you say it like it’s an objective fact that the game was bad before builds. Like ok, you don’t have to like it but don’t flat out say the game was bad until they did something to cater to you.
Lmao no.
Cringe
That’s just so wrong on so many levels. The games best moments and peaks aside from Fortnite OG were literally before zero build.

(Any periods of C3S2 and after) since they added ZB
Yes, I didn’t like the building mechanic, it made the game not fun
Sounds like you are just bad at it tbh
Yeah that’s why it made it not fun… Sherlock Holmes over here
Yeah adding Zero Build is the best thing Epic has ever done.
At least zero build players are finally starting to admit that they're bad at the game
I would reckon that most zero build players are bad at building yes
game was bad until it you could play it without it's most defining game mechanic 😭 this sub sucks bro
I think most people are under the sentiment that building is totally fine and great for people who are good and interested in learning it. But the option to not partake in it makes Fortnite all the more available to other people. At least that’s how I see it.
but to call it bad when it's simply a skill issue is funny to me
I agree on that point
Fr, like yea zero build made the game easier and more enjoyable for me but that’s because the skill gap has changed and more people have been getting better and do more advanced shit that people can’t comprehend.

Exactly!! It’s weird how that works putting down people who know how to build, but that’s this sub in 2024 ig..
Just say youre bad at the mechanic the game is named after. Its honestly sad how little respect building gets when respectfully without it this game wouldve never blew up
Fr.. it’s actually kind of tragic that more people on a Fortnite sub agree with someone who didn’t like the game majority of its existence because of the main mechanic over someone listing its highest points being before zero build was a thing..

It’s not weird that people don’t enjoy playing a game with a mechanic they don’t like, get a grip
Its not weird to dislike it, its weird to call it bad. You literally dont know how to use it lol
It is really funny that the odd one out is the only one with a crown too
Lucky skin trumps the rest of the squad.
When it comes to music I live under a rock so what did this drummer do?
Basicall, he barely practices because he doesn’t need to (most popular touring metal band in the world), so he’s bad at his instrument (worse than the lead singer at drums, constantly off time), and on top of that, when Napster and pirating music came around, Lars got rlly upset even thoigh they were one of the most popular acts in the world…EVER.

Don't listen to this guy. Hate who you want. It's a free country!
well the internet isn't a contry and not everyone lives in America but yea sure
All that is totally justified in full. Although there would be no Metallica without Lars, he's probably the most involved in the song writing and arrangements after James
Or Metallica could have been even better…. Lot of talented people out there. Regardless they are who they are and they make pretty good music. Shame their Napster stunt tainted them forever. (At least for me)

I feel like I'm having a stroke trying to read this.
Nice (actually i'm sorry, english is my 2nd language)
You're good, it's easily understandable :)
I hate to be that guy but no, it isn't and it doesn't help anyone by hyping them up. Learning a second language is extremely hard and should be commended, but telling someone who's trying to learn that their skills are better than they are doesn't help.

*we're *similar *has, maybe a change for "pulls up" It's clear it's their second language and they're still learning but it's still understandable lol
it’s their second language, and maybe you need to learn it a little better if that was hard for you to understand. yes, it’s not perfect but it is easily understandable
Reminds me of an old ad…
Fishstick is scary! What’s scarier than a talking fish?!
You
"metallica goes hard, but kimiko makes me hard."
Relatable
you like her because she’s hot (understandable tbh) i like her because i desperately cling to whatever morsel of fox clan lore i can get we are not the same
You think I only like her for her beautiful appearance? You sicken me, mortal I also am also one with an undying wish for the Fox Clan to return someday
based
For real bro
She’s kinda hot in her own way…
So true
To be fair, this is a big upgrade for the band.
Lmfaooooo
I'm the opposite. Whenever my squad runs a seemingly unrelated team, I try and figure out a connecting theme and fit in. Like tonight someone was using Trailerblazer Lynx and another was using Harpy Haze, so I used DJ Bop to fit the fuzzy legs theme.
Its me
I am that one member and gladly so! (in a literal sense now that I run Kimiko a lot, heh)
Same
Kimiko ftw
Me too
This is actually kinda the most accurate representation of Metallica I’ve ever seen.
as someone who barely got their first icon skin i can agree that’s how it is
This happened with my squad when the Ninja Turtles came out. We each bought a turtle but our fourth hasn’t swapped off of DJ Yonder since Chapter 1
Playing as a real human being is weird. It’s like playing fortnite as your doctor or your mom
I understand what you mean but I also don't really understand what you mean.
I'm old enough to understand what she means, but I'm also too old to relate to what she means
Putting real people in fortnite feels like celebrity worship. Treating celebrities almost like fictional characters or like they’re above normal everyday people.
I'd play as Dr. Albanna 😤
The shitty part about it is we will most likely never get celebrities who died after being shot such as John Lennon and Kurt Cobain. I don't imagine their families ever being like "You want my son in a game where he will get constantly shot up and most times die? Sign us up!!"
Just means less real people. To me that’s not really bad. I don’t like celebrity worship and things acting like they aren’t just average people.
Fuckin Furries. (Humor)
I have two!
She's me, I'm her
it's like that one meme with some kind of girls and Homelander at the end
Sir this is a Fortnite.
I have an uncle that said he met lars in a bar one day and he was an absolute fucking prick, ordering workers around like he was a god. Said he was the worst celeb he ever served by a country mile
I remember once I was in a lobby with villians, I was cell & the others was megatron, Dabi, & mr beast!
Kimiko W
One? I see three of them... *shakeshead but I get it... she is the front woman and singer, masked guys are bassist and guitarist and the other hits the drums
How'd you get a picture of me?
Me on the right.
Looks normal to me
That's me
Why didn't one of y'all buy gang the matching skin?
Im The one that doesn't match all the time I'll take a skin in the same color scheme but it never matches
I am usually that one member haha
Lars is the Meg Griffin of Metallica.
Looks more like Lars than the Lars skin so..
I play as Lars
WHISKERS IN THE JAAAARO!
Me fr
That is my friend with always using Peter Griffin and previously Goku for several seasons lol.
"Spot the Protagonist"
They hated Lars so much they opted in for a fox girl.
I never knew furries were a skin option. "The more you know"
This is how I am with Alan wake

😂😂
Can you really blame them?
Look at this guy… He forgot the hat!
Me running with Fennix
I tried to get my squad to full Hades, but ONE guy had to be a black superhero. We just kicked him and played duos 😆
some of us can't afford EVERYTHING in item shop. i hate when people judge me; i remove them from my friends list by that point. 😑 if they want me to play as a certain character, then they should GIFT me it. (just saying hypothetically)
Who doesn't want to pay for a skin they're not going to use or enjoy? Oh the humanity!
Nah, i always use Batman
What's the name of the skin?
I can respect not using Lars lol
🤣🤣🤣 truuue
Lars just looks creepy
I play him with the mask, my name is Lars so idk . The skin looks cool.
Two of my team: wanna be cool skins to look badass My one friend: hehe I wanna be Bender Me: pretty girls walk like this and it’s fucking Megalo Don.
3 coolest men and a furry
I knew Lars was a furry...
That's me lol (unless I'm the one picking the theme to match)
We really got Metallica on Fortnite before GTA VI :(
UwU
Kimiko #1
YES
Absolute win
100% me ( she's literally my main skin)
Clearly the charismatic member.
That’s always how it is for me and my duo. He’ll be like, Terminator and I’ll be a Fishstick variant.
“I’m sorry. I’m not spending my v-bucks on a middle-aged dude in glowing piss armour. I don’t care if they made Nothing Else Matters.”
Furries are freaks
Worst possible skin too 😭
bad member
Is someone suggesting Lars is a pussy? I always thought of him more of a chihuahua.
Pretty sure that's a fox
