442 days ago - Lars Ulrich has played many diverse roles in his 26-year career as typhoon-tendoned drummer for S.F. super-group Metallica. He's been a trailblazer who revved sluggish '70s arena rock into a punk-infused speed-metal future; a Grammy winner, seven times over; a classical musician in two 1999 appearances with the local symphony, reworking band classics; and even the villain in an '00 Napster snafu, where he testified against then-novel file sharing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
