Lars Ulrich Talks Grammy Mishap On The Late Late Show

You know it’s a strange week for network television when Brann Dailor is drumming with Seth Meyers’ band, Stephen Colbert is crafting segments around audio engineer jokes, and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is sitting on a late night couch next to movie star Katherine Heigl and Girls standout Andrew Rannells.

After both Heigl and Rannells talked about being huge Metallica fans (!!), Late Late Show host James Corden asked Lars about the already-historic microphone mishap during their performance with Lady Gaga and balancing his job in Metallica with family life. Pretty amazing stuff, and Lars even provides some juicy tidbits from the backstage aftermath: James Hetfield, usually cool as a cucumber these days, was apparently not too happy with how the show went.
