Metallica’s Upcoming Residency
Metallica’s drummer, Lars Ulrich, appeared as the latest guest on The Edge‘s “Close to the Edge” program, with his full interview set to premiere Friday, July 17th, at 7 p.m. ET on SiriusXM’s U2 X-Radio (Ch. 32), with replays throughout the upcoming week. Coming off the three-year tour, Ulrich told The Edge, “We’ll take a couple weeks to chill out, but then we got to start thinking about scaling the Sphere mountain and conquering that. And it’s been in the works. We’ve been working on this for a year, year and a half.
Ulrich added, “And, obviously you guys were the first ones in, and it was just so incredible to see that night. And, so in that spirit, three years later, when we start here in a few months, we’re so excited, and definitely have heard from a few folks about the filming and all of it. And it’ll be, it’s going to be challenging, and obviously, I think like everybody else I’ve talked to about it’s overwhelming and fucking intimidating. But hopefully when we step out on stage that first night, we’ll have it somewhat together.
The Challenge of Playing the Sphere
The Metallica drummer also mentioned that playing the Sphere will be a challenge, but it’s an opportunity for the band to reinvent themselves and push their boundaries. Ulrich stated, “So and that’s also, as you know, that’s a place maybe we don’t end up in often enough because we have a tendency to put ourselves in environments that we completely control and know. And so I think it’s really good to be able to throw yourself for the loop like that.” With the “Life Burns Faster” residency approaching, Metallica fans can expect an unforgettable experience at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
In conclusion, Metallica is set to embark on a new adventure with their upcoming residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
