How did you start making music?
By indifference. A friend of mine said "Hey Lars, we still need a bass guitarist for our band. Don't you wanna play the bass?" and I replied "Yeah, whatever", which is basically how I started playing the bass. That decisively changed my life.

Did you take any lessons?
No, I didn't. Some people say that Cliff Burton's spirit went right into me after his death. But there are also people who would say that oil is good for the sea (seriously!)

Your first LP/CD:

Sasha Grey

How was your childhood?
Difficult

What were you at school? Teacher's pet, a follower or the clown?
I was more of a likeable outsider

Your most awful job:
Stocking toothpaste in shelves at 5:30am

Have you ever been to jail?
Police station yes, no jail. Probably just like our drummer!

Do you take drugs?
No. ???... Wait, drugs! Yeah… in troops!

Any embarrassing experiences on stage:
Surprisingly not a single one. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

Who would be part of your personal band of your dreams?
Dimebag Darrell, James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, Lemmy Kilmister, Mike Terrana

Which character would you like to represent in a movie?
No one. I live my own movie. When I'm as old as Lemmy a movie is gonna be made about me, too

Which rumors about yourself have already been spread?
No idea. Usually everything you hear about me is true... yet!

What's your tombstone supposed to say?
"Please, keep moving, there's nothing to see!" or "Born to lose, live to win and now dead."

A desert island... You know, three things!
A book (a good one!), beer (a self-cooling barrel! Thanks for the inspiration, Sören) and a yacht ('cause I'd wanna leave that island again one day)

Place of your dreams:
My bed

People you're fascinated by:
Lemmy Kilmister for instance or people who sail around the world all by themselves and climb the highest mountain

Aims in life:
To see the world and rock my ass off! (quod vide: "People you're fascinated by"). You wanna have some exciting stories to tell your grandchildren

What don't you like?
Ox tongue for breakfast thanks to my roomy (Sorry Josi, that had to be)
