The flawless 1978 album Lars Ulrich crowned as “the greatest” live experience
Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich named Bob Marley and the Wailers’ 1978 live album *Babylon By Bus* among the greatest live records ever. His choice stands out because Ulrich’s musical roots are in heavy metal, yet he said Marley’s performance captured a powerful connection between the band and its audience.
In a 2020 interview, Ulrich praised the album’s unity and the group’s distinctive groove, saying it could surpass even Marley’s studio recordings. He described Marley and the Wailers as a true band and a force that brought Jamaican music to a wider audience; Ulrich had not attended the performances himself.
In short
- Lars Ulrich praised *Babylon By Bus* as one of the greatest live albums.
- He highlighted the unity between Bob Marley’s band and audience.
- The 1978 reggae record stood out to the Metallica drummer.
