"It's my party and I'll make Lars cry if I want to" Said Kirk Hammett... Ok I take that back, he never said such a thing. Those are my words and my word only.

However, the recording period for Metallica's St Anger was definitely a very tense time for the band. So tense, in fact, that somebody forgot to inform drummer Lars Ulrich about plans to celebrate guitarist Kirk Hammett's 40th birthday party. When he showed up at the studio only to discover everyone dressed in tropical-theme for the party, complete with Hawaiian shirts and leis, Lars felt left out.

He did leave us with some juicy quotes as he took his plate of food to sulk in another room. As Some Kind of Monster co-producer Joe Berlinger explains:

"Lars felt snubbed and stalked into another room with a plate of food to eat in silence... "Nobody throws me a birthday party,' he sulked. '… Life is an eternal birthday party for someone else,' he said, then added, 'Life is a limp d*** with an occasional b******.'"
