Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has looked back on Black Sabbath’s retirement show Back To The Beginning, admitting he was unsure how well the pioneering heavy metal band would perform at their final gig together.
Talking to Howard Stern on SiriusXM on Wednesday (August 6), the drummer, whose band were part of a star-studded rock and metal lineup at the all-day event in Birmingham last month, says that, ahead of Sabbath’s set, “We were hoping for the best, we wanted it to be the best, we wanted it to be a grand slam, but we didn’t know, because ultimately none of us knew what kind of shape they were in.”
