SanitariuM....And Metallica blog for all

A photo of METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich on stage with Ian Gillan during the DEEP PURPLE frontman's solo gig Monday night (September 11) at Slim's in San Francisco has been posted online (courtesy of Nadir/asterothe). According to one eyewitness report at the Metclub.com forum, "Ian invited Lars to the stage and said Lars kept him drinking untill 4:00 a.m. in the morning the night before... Lars sat behind the drums and they played 'Smoke On The Water' just before the encore. It was a great treat! We all know what kind of an impact DEEP PURPLE had in Lars' life. I feel very lucky to witness him playing a DEEP PURPLE song with Ian Gillan. And I think Lars did a great job. Well done, Lars!"
