"The only thing that would interest me would be playing something completely out of whack, like a gay man." --Lars Ulrich
While Metallica's drummer has declined many a "rock dude" acting role, he says he's game to portray a homosexual on film.

What IS this? I guess you guys believe one gay story leads to another.Please get with the program and quit segregating gays,when morally and legally you should be integrating them.
Codyat 10-11-2009
MORALLY integrating them?!!! READ a BIBLE!!! Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed with fire and brimstone because of their "wickedness"...a.k.a. GAYNESS..."in the Eyes of God". WHERE do you THINK the word "sodomy"...butt-intercourse...comes from???!!! MAN was created to PRO-CREATE!!! TWO MEN or TWO WOMEN CANNOT PRO-CREATE!!

Yes, but can he act? I think I have seen plenty of rock stars move into acting spots and only a few have been able to do anything worthwhile with better than a few moments on screen. I don't care WHAT role he plays, why not cast someone experienced instead of trying to feed off of Metallicas fame?
Andyat 10-11-2009
thats true...metallicas music (imo) is great...too bad they over take the advantage of their fame

What is wrong with you aol? Lately you've been twisting peoples words out of context just to get more hits on your articles. Do you have no shame? This comment was during a Jim Breuer (comedian) interview, where Jim asked all of Metallica if they would be in a movie if the character was gay? Lars responded by saying yes he would because he's been asked to be in so many rock 'n roll movies that he would welcome something completely different and challenging. Now shape up aol and tell the whole story! Quit being douche bags!

Lars isn't gay? wtf

This is precisely the kind of person who should NOT PLAY A GAY MAN AS AN ACTOR simply because he describes being gay as "whacked out" - most gay people are pretty simple, everyday people like me, not an effeminate drag-queen stereotype often played in the movies. HAVE THIS GUY RESEARCH HIS ROLE and meet some real gay people before adding another boring stereotype to this milieu and perpetuating lies/misconceptions about the gay male community! MOVIES ARE NOT REAL LIFE PEOPLE!

you are 30 years behind the times - read a newspaper and free your mind (the New York Times will do)

HUH? Can you back any of that up? Speaking of "backing up..."

...I could go through everything that was said and disqualify most of it (specifically spelling errors.) But it's just easier to call you a flaming douche bag and call it a day.

Sounds to me like somebody is finally ready to come out of the closet already :)
MGordon514at 10-11-2009
Oh, man. Stay tuned for the "If I offended anyone" apology. Drummers.

Pete you IGNORANT FUCK!
I am gay, and can take the thing you server (God & the Bible), and point out how wrong you are!!
Even in the bible itself, God said He made a mistake because of the material He used to create man.
This should piss you off even more....ummm....
I'M WICCAN ALSO!!
I DIDN'T MAKE THE DECIDED TO BE BE GAY, I WAS BORN THIS WAY, AND BELIEVE ME, I TRIED TO FIGHT IT AND BE WHAT EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS TO BE, AND BECAUSE OF THAT I HURT OTHER PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE I WANTED TO "FIT IN"!
PLEASE DO THE WORLD A FAVOR, RETHINK AND GROW UP OR JUST KILL YOURSELF, THE WORLD IS FUCKED UP ENOUGHT, WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE ASSHOLES LIKE U.
Joel Lafargueat 10-11-2009
Excuse me, but I'd like to ask you one question:
Exactly WHERE in the Bible did God, as you CLAIM, say He made a mistake because of the material he used to create man?
And if you are a WICCAN, you are in league with the Devil, so who are you to criticize God? Rot in Hell, because unless you denounce the WICCAN style of living, you will never see Heaven, I can promise you that.
And finally, learn how to spell and how to type before you post again.
darkfalnpriestssat 10-22-2009
Um, Joel, hate to tell you this, but Wiccans and Pagans aren't "in league" with the devil. The DEVIL, aka Satan, is a creation of the CHRISTIAN FAITH, a belief system that pagans don't follow. Therefore, a Wiccan or pagan person can not be in league with it. Simply put? Pagans don't believe in the Devil, so they aren't in league with, or worship him.
Do yourself a favor, and pull your head out of your Bible and do a little bit of research on world religions. You'll find that a number of them DON'T BELIEVE IN YOUR GOD, therefore they aren't in league with your devil. This is where 99.99999% of our problems with Muslims come from... this EXACT type of beliefs! We don't follow their faith, therefore we are evil and must be eradicated. Way to go Christianity.

He could be a gay metalica groupie! l never rem. if it's metallica or metalicca? l thought def leppard was def leopard! man that was forever ago.
viciousat 10-11-2009
ok i think you boys need to stop getting all uptight about this story. ITS JUST A STORY. all they talk about is a drummer wanting to portray a gay man in a movie. talk about the story and stop bring your political views into this. no one...will...care. all you will succeed in doing is pissing eachother off with what you think is "right". which is very immature for grown men to do. keep your views out of it. this story is interesting because he's a famous drummer from a famous band. you guys are not famous and you're not interesting.

Talyn: Your courage and perseverance are an inspiration. I know you have to speak out and defend your truth, but don't you wish people would just get themselves a real life and stop messing with your life.
ossurworldat 10-12-2009
The only one whacked out is this clown.
Talynat 10-12-2009
Ah, the so-called Christian speaks...
Well that only goes to show you how WEAK you are as a Christian, you can't tell me where it's at dickhead.
BUT IT'S THERE!!
And for your information, I DON'T FUCKING PLAN ON SEEING HEAVEN, AND NEITHER WILL YOU!
If you think within your little mind that just "going good" will get you in, think again asshole!
Here's where I make you look like the fool you are....
Jesus said getting into heaven is like passing through "the eye of a needle".
Now run away little boy and go learn you beliefs before you start something I KNOW you can't finish!
And as a bonus, being Wiccan HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEVIL, you're only working on old knowledge that was passed down to YOU, you didn't bother to THINK FOR YOURSELF, and QUESTION where that information came from, did you?
You're nothing but sheep, being sent to the slaughter house.
Don't send me a weak ass Christian, to my door, be a Warrior, or be destroyed.
NOW RUN AND TELL YA MAMA 'BOUT THAT!
