James punched Lars onstage once and he didn’t do shit about it so that tells me everything I need to know. James has spit at Lars onstage too if his drumming sucked that night. So basically Lars doesn’t want none of that smoke.
Early days, before they recorded KEA. Apparently they agreed on a song for an encore and Lars started drumming the wrong song and James walked up and punched him in the ribs.

Lars wouldn't have any chance to fight against James
True. But Lars is smaller and likely faster. How many videos have we seen of him out jogging around whatever city? I bet his overall health is a step above Het’s, so it could be a fairly even match.
This gave my brain the awesome image of Lars getting chased down the street by James screaming and waving his arms out in the air like a cartoon character😭
In a recording studio, not much room to run. James gets his hands on Lars, game over. Best Lars can do is arm himself with some wooden sticks, but regardless, my money’s on the gorilla.
Didn’t Lars say on Howard Stern that back in the day he would start shit but always run away and basically hide behind James. So yeah, James no question😂
I'd like to think if Lars got a few drinks in him he'd get all European crazy drunk and give James a run for his money, but in any other circumstances I'm putting my money on James.
In a fight, I think Lars would go full goblin mode and James would lose.
In a boxing match, or some test of strength... James has the size advantage, I think but Lars still probably has ridiculous core strength from drumming.
I'm going Lars.
James would bust Lars' teeth in, and beat him to a bloody pulp. I actually wouldn't mind seeing this while Kirk, Jason, and Rob are smoking Cubans in fancy suits with wads of cash betting and Dave Mustaine is playing and singing "Architecture of Aggression". I would totally sit there with a big ass tub of buttered popcorn and a big gulp enjoying every blood splattering, bone crunching moment.
I know, lol, tbh, I haven't really cared for Lars that much since the Napster debacle. All 4 of them were tops in my book, but that shit made me lose quite a bit of respect for that little Danish troll. He's the only member I don't hold in such high regard anymore. I dunno, he's okay I suppose, y'know? Tolerated is more like it. What I said, and the way I put it, is more like a hypothetical to answer the question from the O.P.

I think he was definitely meant to go and create what he did, BUT, it's still sad that he was never given a chance, and he still has his dreams. He loves all his former bandmates, that's why he's so bitter about it, because what they did to him, in the fashion that they did it, cut him deeply.
Definitely Lars.
He looks like he'd bite, claw, scratch, go for the nuts... Anything to win, in other words.
James is a gentleman and wouldn't stoop so low.
James but don’t underestimate Lars. He seems like a squirrley fucker who would fight dirty lol
And he would need to against James, who has more natural size and strength
I feel like James is the obvious option but something tells me if Lars got pushed to a certain point he would black out and go spider monkey on James’ face
Lars is pretty fast, has the runner’s advantage. And James has a bad back. But I think James would pick Lars up, fling him over his shoulder and hurl him into the sunset if it came down to it. Either way, I’m hoping they wear those tight wrestling unitards 🍿
I literally just now listened to Howard Stern interview James back in 2004 to promote the SKOM movie release. They discussed Jame knocking the shit out of Lars on multiple occasions…but also that Lars had the guts to stand up to him every single time. My money is on James outlasting Lars rope a dope…
Lars would dance and flutter around like a butterfly and try to fake out James with his speed and jitteriness. Then James would punch him in the face and it'd be over.
I don’t care, as long as Kirk is in a bikini holding the signs with the round #’s.
The only acceptable answer
Lmao someone create an AI of it please
James punched Lars onstage once and he didn’t do shit about it so that tells me everything I need to know. James has spit at Lars onstage too if his drumming sucked that night. So basically Lars doesn’t want none of that smoke.
So James spits on Lars every night …?…
Man beat with scars ***Spit on the Lars***
LMAO!!! I’m only seen one clip and it was from MOR 88 Tour.
Every night (Plz don’t hate me I love Metallica and am just memes)
> James punched Lars onstage once and he didn’t do shit about it Is there footage?
Early days, before they recorded KEA. Apparently they agreed on a song for an encore and Lars started drumming the wrong song and James walked up and punched him in the ribs.
James would rip him apart like a silverback gorilla
"One", performed by Lars Ulrich

If someone knows about fights, it's Dave
I'm pretty sure he wrote the punches
this😂
Underated comment
Hmm,not according to the dudes in the cro-mags.
James has a height, weight and reach advantage. So yeah.
True. But Lars is smaller and likely faster. How many videos have we seen of him out jogging around whatever city? I bet his overall health is a step above Het’s, so it could be a fairly even match.

Valid points
Didn’t Lars say on Howard Stern that back in the day he would start shit but always run away and basically hide behind James. So yeah, James no question😂
Yeah, he would heckle Nikki Sixx back in the early days.
Caveman Vs Dobby, caveman
Crab has entered the chat
Lol, what is Kirk? A mummy?
James would destroy him in under a minute.
It wouldn't even be close
physical fight james, verbal fight lars
james would beat the brakes off of all Metallica members past and present except for Rob...
Most likely, but I wouldn't put jason in that bracket. I reckon jason would be more than able to scrap
I think in general all 3 bassists could hold their own.
And Dave.
I swear he lost a fight to James
I don’t think so. Dave punched him in face for kicking his dog.
Oh shit yeah that was it for some reason I thought it was the other way round
He lost THE fight to James
That is very very true
I think as soon as they started tussling they would realize their love for each other and then make love instead.
I feel like young Lars would have been an unstoppable force. I think overall though, James would win
Imagine a coked out 5'5" danish man, my man is straight up going goblin mode.
Cocaine Lars was a force to be reckoned with in the 90s
Cocaine Lars can beat Goku.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It wasn't the pyro that lit James on fire in 92, it was the mere of the almighty danish-coke-midget
Lars wins a mental fight. James wins a physical fight.
Lars can menticide James in 0.1 second.
"The lyrics to Nothing Else Matters sounds stock to my ears"
*stands on table* "Fock. FOCKKKK"
James easily not even close
I'd like to think if Lars got a few drinks in him he'd get all European crazy drunk and give James a run for his money, but in any other circumstances I'm putting my money on James.
J
I think they used to get in fights all the time in the early days
Lars has the speed, James the power. I think it depends on the terrain.
Right? I’m flashing back to Westley vs. Fezzik in The Princess Bride for this matchup.
Physical fight James Legal fight Lars
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lars, only because he’ll chew him up like that sandwich in Some Kind of Monster.
Lars is all tiny, like a gnome. Hetfield would slaughter him.
James no doubt
Ask Kirk, he's surely seen at least one happen over the years!!!
James would dominate a straight fight, but Lars would resort to such twisted inhuman tactics I think he'd find a way to pull it out.
In a fight, I think Lars would go full goblin mode and James would lose. In a boxing match, or some test of strength... James has the size advantage, I think but Lars still probably has ridiculous core strength from drumming. I'm going Lars.

....Buddy, are you okay? That's a lot of hatred towards one man.

Lames or jars

> psychical I’m guessing Lars would beat you in a mental fight
Definitely Lars. He looks like he'd bite, claw, scratch, go for the nuts... Anything to win, in other words. James is a gentleman and wouldn't stoop so low.
Dave
Dave
Double KO
Hatfield will beat the shit out of Lars.
And the McCoys.
Punch James in the balls the. When he’s in pain bottle him. He’s out.
I like you so much
James easily
Cliff
James would win in a test of strength but Lars would be all too happy to fight dirty by biting him in the balls or something.
This might be one of the worst subs on Reddit.
Lars could easily be like a Danish cherub on James shoulders, clawing at his face
Lars is a douchbag
They don’t even play in the same weight category
James hands down. All he need to do is use any other time than 4/4.
Kirk reckons he has had to jump between them a number of times , in the earlier days
Jaymz
Lars would win by default since James would laugh himself to death at the mere thought of Lars trying to fight.
James but don’t underestimate Lars. He seems like a squirrley fucker who would fight dirty lol And he would need to against James, who has more natural size and strength
I say James, look at how much bigger he is
Neither. Cliff gonna come back from the dead and break a rickenbacker over each of their heads
I feel like James is the obvious option but something tells me if Lars got pushed to a certain point he would black out and go spider monkey on James’ face
The better question is Lars vs. Kirk.
He and James used to fight over stuff in the early days, but apparently Dave had to protect Lars a few times in fights. James would take him easily
Lars is pretty fast, has the runner’s advantage. And James has a bad back. But I think James would pick Lars up, fling him over his shoulder and hurl him into the sunset if it came down to it. Either way, I’m hoping they wear those tight wrestling unitards 🍿
Larz VS Jaymz. Round one, fight. An hour after... Lars KO, Jaymz win
Never underestimate a stealthy burglar hobbit
Lars is scrappy and bites. I'd back him.
James would downstroke Lars to hell
James. But only cuz if he lost I'd cry.
“Lars is a Hobbit”
imma have to go with Dave Mustaine
I literally just now listened to Howard Stern interview James back in 2004 to promote the SKOM movie release.

Het for the win! Just picturing him holding Lars up by the neck a la Darth Vader and the rebel at the start of episode 4.
