Speaking to Howard Stern in a recent interview for his SiriusXM show, Ulrich talked about how, years before, Metallica would say no to almost any request for its songs to be used in the media. After years of saying no, Ulrich said the band eventually decided to reverse course and say yes to everything.
"It was just like that, with Metallica, we were always the buddies," Ulrich said. “Can we get this song for this?” Can we get that song for that? Can we have this? Blah blah blah, and we'd say no, no, no. And a few years ago, we did 180. We just said, "You know what? That's stupid. Why are we hanging on to it?" [songs] As if they were so important, as if they were crown jewels? Let's share our music with the world. So, we started saying yes to everything.”
when it comes to b Weird thingsUlrich said the band was aware of how popular the show was and that they said yes when the team behind the series told them they wanted to build a scene around the "Puppet Master". For Ulrich, it was a crazy experience to see that almost 40 years later, the song still had such an impact.
“It was mind-boggling — to see how this became a phenomenon,” Ulrich said. "It was completely unexpected. Who would have thought 40 years later that these songs could still have such an impact? We were excited to be a part of it."
