Metallica.

Rock band or is one of them a bit of a wuss?

Thats the News - Lars, the drummer is terrified and I mean really freaked out by .....Microphones. Yes, that ever important sound amplifying device (obviously excluding the amp itself and th speakers, and the wireing and stuff) Even at a young age, Lars was scared by them. I went back in time and conducted a small experement. After tracking down the young lad, I put this very Microphone (fig #1) near him. The effect of the close proximity of the Microphone caused the guys little baby face to become all bunched up and he bared what passed for teeth at that age (see fig #2). A strange salty liquid startrd to leak from his eyes. not wanting to kill the youngster, I quickly dealt with the problem and taped his eyes closed in an attempt to stop the leak...

The following image was taken several years ago proving that he is still congenitally afraid of simple electrical equipment. The photo also raises the question about glassware. Presumeably, he drinks all his drinks form plastic beakers, or cans. It does seem that he prefers the company of the glassware as opposed to the Microphones. If possible, I shall travel back in time to present the young BabyLars with a glass bottle and microphone to see if, like the microphone problem, the glassware fear originates at the same time.

Poor Lars, we all pity him.
