Metallica / Orion Festival Recap

There was an article about a double amputee teen that came from England to see Metallica at the Orion Festival last weekend in Detroit. There are a lot of 'tour recap' videos of Metallica available, but this one is worth watching. It shows one of my drumming heroes, Lars Ulrich, talking to the teen and inviting him onstage during their set. Ulrich really gets a lot of flack about Napster, about the sound of his drums on Metallica's St. Anger release and such, but this shows him as a human being. In a world that has a lot of craziness and unrest, Ulrich talking to this teen makes me smile. A lot.
