I'm with Stallion though, who doesn't love Crover? Even Buzz hasn't fired him after 30 or so years.

Admittedly his dad does look pretty cool in a Willie Nelson kind of way.  8) That *is* his dad right?

Wasn't he a pro-tennis player back in the day or something? I seem to remember that fact or that Lars himself intended to have a career in tennis prior to Metallica.

That`s true.

He was born on October 4, 1928, in Copenhagen, Denmark, the son of Ulla (née Meyer) and tennis player Einer Ulrich.

Ulrich played on the tennis tour from the late 1940s into the 1970s, and on the Tennis Grand Masters tour in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1976 he was the top-ranked senior player in the world. Ulrich played more than 100 Davis Cup matches for Denmark.[2][3] In 1977, at a month shy of 49, he became the oldest Davis Cup player in history.
