Lars is a common male name in Nordic and German-speaking countries. In Sweden, people named Lars are commonly nicknamed Lasse.
Lars is derived from the Roman name "Laurentius", which means ”from Laurentum” or "crowned with laurel." Lawrence and Laurence are of the same origin.
Lars was also a common Etruscan name, and several Etruscan kings bore it. The etymology of the Etruscan name is unknown.
Lars Ulrich ( /ˈʌlrɪk/ UL-rik; Danish: [lɑːs ˈulˀʁæg̊]; born December 26, 1963) is a Danish drummer, and one of the founding members of the American heavy metal band Metallica. He was born in Gentofte, Denmark to an upper-middle class family. A tennis player in his youth, Ulrich moved to Los Angeles, California at age sixteen to pursue his training; though rather than playing tennis, he became a drummer. After publishing an advertisement in a local Los Angeles newspaper called The Recycler, Ulrich met James Hetfield and formed Metallica.
Lars Ulrich was born on December 26, 1963 in Gentofte, Denmark to Torben Ulrich, a tennis player. Saxophonist Dexter Gordon was Ulrich's godfather. In February 1973, Torben obtained five passes for five of his friends to a Deep Purple concert that was being held in the same Copenhagen stadium as one of his tournaments. When it was discovered that one of the friends could not go, their ticket was handed over to the nine year-old Ulrich. The young Ulrich found himself mesmerized by the performance, buying the band's Fireball album the next day. The concert and the album had a considerable impact on Ulrich, inspiring his entrance into the world of rock and roll and later on, heavy metal. As a result of his newfound interest in music, he received his first drum kit from his grandmother at the age of twelve, a Ludwig. Ulrich originally intended to play tennis, and he moved to America in 1980.
James Alan Hetfield (born August 3, 1963) is the rhythm guitarist, co-founder, main songwriter, and lead vocalist for the American heavy metal band Metallica. Hetfield co-founded Metallica in October 1981 after answering a classified advertisement by drummer Lars Ulrich in the Los Angeles newspaper The Recycler, searching for band members. Since then, Metallica has won nine Grammy Awards and released nine studio albums, three live albums, four extended plays and 24 singles. In 2009, Hetfield was ranked number 8 in Joel McIver's book The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists, and ranked twenty-fourth by Hit Parader on their list of the 100 Greatest Metal Vocalists of All Time.
Hetfield was born August 3, 1963. He is of German, English, Irish and Scottish descent. He has two older half-brothers from his mother's first marriage and one younger sister. He attended Downey High School his freshman and sophomore years.
His father, Virgil, was a truck driver who left the family when Hetfield was young. His mother, Cynthia, was a light opera singer. The two divorced in 1976. Virgil and Cynthia were very strict Christian Scientists, and in accordance with their beliefs, Hetfield's parents strongly disapproved of medicine or any other medical treatment and remained loyal to their faith even as Cynthia was dying from cancer. This upbringing became the inspiration for many of Hetfield's lyrics later in his career with Metallica, such as songs like "The God That Failed".
Lars Erik Frederiksen (born August 30, 1971) is a Danish-American guitarist and vocalist, most notably for the punk rock band Rancid, and as the frontman of Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards and The Old Firm Casuals. He was also briefly a member of the UK Subs in 1991. He joined Rancid in 1993 after the band was searching for a second guitar player and was present on their second album Let's Go. He has produced albums for bands such as Agnostic Front, The Business, Dropkick Murphys, Swingin Utters, Anti-Heros, Patriot, The Forgotten, and Pressure Point. He recently mixed Charged GBH's new album entitled Perfume and Piss, as well as Cock Sparrer's album "Here We Stand" both alongside Michael Rosen.
Frederiksen is half-Danish, his father was Italian, and his mother, Minna, was a Danish immigrant, and was reared in Campbell, California, a town near San Jose, California.
He married his girlfriend Megan in 1998. They divorced, and he is now married to Stephanie Snyder, who gave birth to their son, Wolfgang Erik Anders Frederiksen, on September 11, 2007. Frederiksen and his wife celebrated the birth of their second child, Soren Erik Adler Frederiksen on October 27, 2011. He is a fan of Millwall Football Club, and often has the Millwall lion on his guitar.

Plot
After beautiful young Duckie, (the hardest working screenwriter NOT in show biz), decides to enter a million dollar internet film contest that she MUST win if she's to finally end her miserable marriage to aging, materialistic Lars, she enlists Lucinda, her best friend, to recruit 'talent.' Since Lucinda's boyfriend, Glenn, is an aspiring actor, albeit one with a drinking problem, he comes onboard along with his best buddy, Angel. Things soon take a turn for the worse at the 'first and last rehearsal' when Angel's perfectionism butts heads with Duckie's need to wrap the film quickly so they can meet the contest's impending deadline. Sparks nonetheless fly between Angel and Duckie, and by the time the film shoot wraps, it's clear they're meant for each other. Complicating matters, and as Glenn and Lucinda grow increasingly jealous of Angel and Duckie's budding relationship, they effect their own plan to achieve Hollywood fame and fortune. Meanwhile, Angel hires Duckie to write a feature film and Lars' suspicions intensify as his marriage deteriorates even further. As Angel and Duckie fall in love, Angel faces a huge moral dilemma concerning both her and Glenn. Lucinda and Glenn part ways and Lars kidnaps the local Pizza Dude and forces him to deliver a powerful message to Duckie (and Angel). As Duckie unwittingly becomes more tangled in Angel's web, a conspiracy is revealed, and Duckie is faced with her biggest nightmare: a surprise twist you'll never forget!

Hot Topic uses contrived identification with youth sub-cultures
to manufacture an antiauthoritarian identity and
make millions. That $8 you paid for the Mudvayne poster
would be better spent used for seeing your brother's
friend's band. DIY ethics are punk rock! Starting your
own label is punk rock! GG Allin was punk rock! But when
a crass corporate vulture feeds on mass consumer
culture, then spending Mommy's money is not punk rock!
Lars:
1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Check out what I have in store
Bring the keyboard tech folklore
And the beat you can't ignore
This is rock and this is roll
This is blues, jazz funk and soul
This sampletastic fresh
This is the jam I like the best
My Casio is hefty so
You can dig my West Coast flow
It's all about the 1's and 2's
It's all about the rap and blues
Blues made rock and rock made rap
Rap made cash and that's a fact
You can't stop MIDI hip-hop beats
Check the tempo it sounds sweet
Elvis was a hero to most
Now he's haunting Memphis like a lost ghost
Time to rock, have a seance
I call Presley and start to dance
Jim Morrison died at 27
Now he makes student films up in heaven
Hendrix earned success and fame
Now he lights his harp aflame
Once upon a time slaves were bought
They worked hard the sun was hot
They wrote songs of misery
Blues music didn't come for free
Popular music came from that
Putting rock onto the map
Now Japanese men sell rock and roll
Through binary digital soul
Download it and plug it in
Cubase XT we begin
Yamahas, and Casios
Dig my basic MIDI flow
So play with me and teach your kids
Line them up that's what we did
Now everyone can drum along
Lars:
Dropped my little sister off at San Jose State
Freshman hoties on the floor and they all look great
18 with brains and booties to match
I want to scratch that ass like Grandmaster Flash
You were in Gimboree my freshman year
Mr. T was on TV and now you're hear
Not creepy anymore when it feels like heaven
You know the hottest girls were born in 1987
HardNox:
1987 was the year, now they're freshman hotties
drinking cheap-ass beer
Fake ID's? They don't matter to me, you've got some tig
ol' bitties and some nice white teeth
Study with me, I won't open a book, I'm a SparkNote
tip, you might call me a crook
I take all the hot and attractive courses
I'm Shvensen Fitzlogik sing my chorus!
CHORUS:
Shvensen Fitzlogik, wasted in college
25 year old in a freshman dorm (25 year old in a
freshman dorm)
Shvensen Fitzlogik, wasted in college
25 year old in a freshman dorm (25 year old in a
freshman dorm)
HardNox:
Hey mom, please send me more money, it's my eigth year
in college digging freshman honeys
Here try this, it will make you feel good, you can wake
up staring at the morning wood
Then I'll walk down the hall, holding on the wall,
Leave a little puke in the bathroom stall
On the girl's floor, I'll do it all again, it's a new
year I should ask you again
Lars:
How old are you? Don't tell me yet
Wait let me guess, I'll make a bet
You've got a thing for older guys and I know it's true
Johnny Freshman can't do these things to you
These girls like good with their cute pink shorts
on the floor next to their book reports
You're no Margery Kempe, so shut your yap,
it's MC Lars and HardNox with the statutory rap
CHORUS
HardNox:
What's your name? My name's Shvensen
Try a little German baby, see what you're missin'
'Cause I'm so paid from my distray
In the freshman dorm party scene trying to get laid
Come in my upper room I've got some Coconut and Malibu
Sit on the couch - want a drink? I do!
Give me three, give me six, give me nine,
Add them all up and it's one good time
LARS:
Straight up - I'm an anarchist - politically extreme
You'll find me down at Kinkos printing anti-corporate
Zines
My stencil graffiti is rebellious and defiant
Nothing says revolution like Andre the Giant
JESSE:
You know the science on the Mayans and twenty-twelve,
with
Government thugs covering up, lizard people with many
selves
Voting is collaborating, only thing I'm advocating
Is raising awareness of MY awareness and self-
congratulating
LARS:
Starbucks is the devil, Adbusters told me so
I wear my Che Guevera shirt to subvert the status quo
The government is lying to you and me
Bush knocked down the towers, literally
JESSE:
Yeah he strapped himself with C4 and piloted two planes
Like Bill Pullman in ID4, bootlegged as Loose Change
Who's sane when you claim he didn't plan it with
Hussein?
They're one crew signed to different labels, like Wu-
Tang
Chorus
LARS:
I've got Naomi Kelin on my mind (No Logo)
Read her whole book because she's fine (No Logo)
You'll find me down at Wal Mart with an anarchy sign
Because dude, it's a fricking anarchy sign! (No Logo)
JESSE:
I'm not racist, you're sensitive, geez (no logo)
Frankly, racism has poor brand identity (no logo)
I'm saying though, I don't see colour, we're all the
same, bro
Like... one... big... rainbow (No homo! and stop)
Verse 2:
LARS:
Because Mom and Dad tried to hold me back (back)
Suburban America is not where it's at (at)
I bought a Noam Chomsky book with my Dad's credit card
(irony)
Became an expert on world politics - it wasn't that
hard
JESSE:
Now I haven't read Howard Zinn, but I'm sure he'd agree
with me
That power's influence can be seen most egregiously
To corrupt, you supersuckers pay your taxes, follow all
their
Laws... I'm taking down the system with my blog.
LARS:
Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?
I climb overpasses, spray painted "Stop the pollution"
I'm always at the DMV shouting "anarchy"
Pay my taxes the last minute intentionally (what!)
JESSE:
And eventually, you conventional sheep will see that
it's meant to be
That man's emancipation from lands and nations take
place in this century
Naturally, very little will actually change politically
Except we'll all just do whatever we want... me,
specifically.
Chorus
LARS:
Check my iPod and you'll see (No Logo)
I only download indie label CD's (No Logo)
Bought a Banksy print on eBay on Buy Nothing Day
Just to stick it the man ironically (No Logo)
JESSE:
Governments have outlived their usefulness (no logo)
You sheeple just aren't ready for my truthfulness (no
logo)
It's my god-given right as an American to speak as I
please
Love it or leave it, this is freedom at its gruesomest
(no logo) or leave it, this is freedom at its
gruesomest (No Logo)
LARS:
It's the N-O-L to the O-G-O
The N-O-L to the O-G-O
The N-O-L to the O-G-O
The N-O-L to the O-G-O
JESSE: Barack Hussein? EHillary Banks? EEd McCain? E
Three sides of the same coin as far as I'm concerned! E
If I can't smoke a doob on a airplane and talk to
bitches however
I want, the REAL terrorists have already won! E... or
DID they?
And stop! Yeah! And stop.
Stop exploiting independent muscians mainstream
America.
This is a song for you. It's from the heart.
Get off our D's. And by that I mean the D batteries we
have to buy to pay to fuel our studios.
Peace!

Welcome to the Wild Wild West
Pecos Lars won't hesitate to put a slug in your chest
Hard rhymer, 49-er, got my Remington Cocked
I shot a man in Reno just to hear his heart stop (stop)
YTCracker:
manifest destiny was the slogan
in the 1800s when the east was all broken
people sought their riches in a vicious move west
and the competition kept 'em on their toes with no rest
Lars:
Posting up at my homestead got my gold bars stacked
Go west, manifest destiny is on track
Forging streams, so it seems, in my heavy covered wagon
You can't stop it, Davy Crocket, all the crazy fun we're having
YTCracker:
in the mid 90s people started forging the framework
of the modern day internet and pioneered the game work
i was on the front lines lewis and clark
with a slip connection wrecking on the net in the dark
Chorus
manifest destiny a motto of progress
but it isn't always positive the aftermath regardless
eventually theres casualty - but it doesnt matter see

Small pox on the blankets killing buffalo for fun

i took that superhighway and i made it a game
felt at home on the range i'm an agent of change

Because High Noon is coming soon like Jesse James you'll never stop us

i was spamming mails like it was oregon trails
die of sickness from the dysentery making my sales
holy grails of the internet partner knew 'em all
