Before moving to the United States and meeting a faithful companion with whom to found the most successful metal band in history, Lars Ulrichdrummer and founder of Metallicalived for 17 years with his parents in Denmark, and now the house in which the young man grew up whose passion for heavy metal overcame what could have been a professional career in tennis has been put up for sale for a million.
Nothing less than 48 million Danish crownssome 6.43 million eurosis the price at which the house located in the embassy neighborhood between Østerbro and Hellerupin one of the small residential streets of the most exclusive area of the municipality of Gentofte, east of Denmark. In this residence, after the Ulrichs left for Los Angeles, they have resided “members of the Danish elite”, just as he points out real estate portal which hosts the sale announcement, “including cultural figures, musicians or athletes.”
It must be remembered that Torben Ulrichfather of Lars (died in 2023), was a professional tennis player, with a hundred matches won in the ATP and several participations in championships such as Roland Garros or Wimbledona path that his son could have followed, who showed good manners in the sport of racket, but heavy metal was his destiny.
A few years ago, on one of Metallica’s visits to the old continent, Lars showed the house in which he spent his first years of life, built in 1907 and designed by the architect Carl Brummer. Accompanied by the bassist Robert Trujillo During part of the visit, Lars comments anecdotes about the house where he started drumming: “That’s where I spent 17 years, right there. Upstairs on the balcony was my father’s recreation room, where he would sit and listen to records. Miles Davis and Coltrane. Copenhagen was kind of a hotbed of jazz music in Europe in the ’60s… All the jazz musicians came to hang out here, and a lot of hippies, and that was their vibe away from tennis. When he was here, that’s what he did and hung out with all those crazy people.
There was nothing typical about any of this. That’s why when people like (James Hetfield, and so on, they sit around and talk about their childhood and all this kind of stuff, what was happening here was like a completely different universe.
That window, that window and the two windows over there, that’s where I had my battery. “That was the room where I had all my posters and the room where I had my stereo and all my records and the seven hundred Deep Purple posters right there.”
Metallica will return this year (June 12 and 14) to our country with the tour ‘M72’.
