Video: Lars Ulrich Surprises Fans in Parking Lot Before Metallica Show

Rag on Lars Ulrich all you like — and lord knows, the man has taken more than his fair share of punishment over the years — but you can’t deny his sense of humor, nor his willingness to interact with Metallica fans.

So: on the way to the band’s show in Philadelphia on Friday night, Lars had his driver slow down while he surprised some tailgating fans by rolling down the window and saying, “Who’s playing tonight?” Ulrich rolled up the window and sped off before shit had the potential to get weird, but stuck around just long enough for the lucky fans on the side of the road to realize what was going on.
