Machine Head's Flynn Comments on Lars
Rob Flynn from Machine Head hung out with Lars Ulrich of Metallica and had some comments about the experience and Lars:
"Hung out with Lars from Metallica (who were there to pick up a Kerrang Hall of Fame award). And I gotta say, he was a cool fuckin' dude. Never really hung out with him before other than, "Hi... bye... thanx for Donington". But the guy definitely gets a bad rap man. VERY down to earth, funny. He took, and still takes, an unbelievable amount of shit for the whole Napster thing."
