Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has had his share of feuds over the year and today we’re going to take a look at some of them.

#1 Nikki Sixx

Despite both emerging out of Los Angeles, Motley Crue and Metallica were not part of the same circles and by Ulrich and frontman James Hetfield’s own admissions they used their distaste for the glam metal seen to drive their determination. Here’s Ulrich and Hetfield discussing their disdain for Motley Crue and hair bands.

The war of words wouldn’t resurface until 1997 when Ulrich criticized Motley Crue for playing using a backing tape during the billboard awards show. Crue bassist Nikki Sixx responded putting out a statement on an online forum saying

Dear, Sweet, Fat, Balding, Larz (love the make-up, babe!). Taking your ever-moronic soapbox position on a subject that’s none of your fucking business has made you out to be an expletive as usual. Considering that I and Tommy know that your live tapes have been re-recorded and all your instruments were repaired in Pro Tools (and had that balls to lie to your fans and call it a ‘live’ album)…
People in glass houses should not throw rocks! Considering your bullshit to the press, we feel it’s only fair to return the punch! Your such a poseur… Thanks for releasing that ‘load’ of expletive CD of yours… you made more room for us!!”
Unfortunately for the Crue their new album, their first with Vince Neil in nearly 8 years Generation Swine was a commercical and ccriticcal flop. The feud seemed to die down nearly within a few years as Sixx defended Metallica’s album St. Anger against the angry fan reaction and praised the band’s dedication to their live shows during a 2015 interview reminiscing the time both bands shared a festival bill.

Jason Newsted
The bassist would leave Metallica in 2001 and despite his side project Echobrain being hailed as the main culprit for his departure there was an incident that foreshadowed him leaving the group in the early 90’s. This year newsted revealed to Metal Hammer it was a recording with guitarist Devin Towsend that resulted in some words being exchanged between himself and Lars and James revealingI had just established the Chophouse [studio] in '92, and by '94 we had all the gear. Devin came down at the age of about 22 and was an absolute maniac ... every time he would pick up a guitar, you get, ‘Widdle widdle widdle,’ and you’re like, ‘Dude, where in the hell did that come from? Now play it backwards!’”
It would result in a six track demo with him adding “The guys got wind of it, and Lars said, ‘You gotta come up to the house.’ I didn’t really know what it was for, so I take my bass and go up there. ‘What's up, guys?’ ‘Dude, you know you're in Metallica now, don’t you? You can’t just be making music and sending out tapes to whatever expletive with whichever expletive. You do understand that right. Newsted’s response: “Oh!” He explained that he "didn’t realize at all! I didn’t know about the politics. I was just sharing some metal with my friends! I pretty much broke down on that day in front of Lars and James. I was like, ‘I’m sorry, it won’t happen again!’ And that was the first time." Ulrich would tell Zane Lowe in 2021 f you think about it, Jason is the only member of Metallica who has ever left willingly. And that in itself is a statistic. And the resentment from James and I was just so... You can't do that. You can only leave if we want you to leave. And then we weren't equipped at the time to do a deep dive into why he was leaving. So of course, now you can see 20 years later, it makes complete sense."
Axl Rose - In 1992 Guns N’ Roses and Metallica would tour north americaas part of a co-headlining tour. The tour was drought with cancellations, and a riot in Montreal that was mostly blamedon Guns N’ Roses and their frontman Axl Rose. Guns N’ Roses lew 80% of their income on that tour going on stage late night after night, p
