Metallica used to be snobs about letting their music be in movies and TV shows. But drummer Lars Ulrich said the band changed their mind in recent years.
On “The Howard Stern Show”, Lars said, “We just said, ‘You know what? This is stupid. Why are we hanging onto these [songs] like they’re so important, like they’re the crown jewels?’ . . .
“We started saying yes to everything. Let’s share our music with the world.”
He also said the band was surprised to see what a hit “Master of Puppets” was after being on “Stranger Things”.
“It was such a mind[eff] to see how that became a phenomenon. It was totally unexpected. Who would’ve thought 40 years later that these songs could still have that impact? We were psyched to be part of it.”
