For those that don't know Lars came to the USA when he was 16-17 years old to compete as a tennis player. Not only is his first language Danish, he lived in Denmark his entire childhood, only moved to the USA for the last years of high school. He's not an American with Danish heritage, he's a Dane through and through who founded Metallica, an America rock band.

I had been wondering about that. Don't really understand Danish, but I have lived outwith my native language area for more than 20 years and I sound old-fashioned in my mother tongue. Also detected quite a few English words injected into the Danish, but can't judge what are common loan words and what are "mistakes"

He is, Danes might just seem to be a bit rude at times, even when that's not the case. Cultural differences.

[@Vakaria-plays]

people tend to think he still acts like he did during the documentary of st-anger, but after that was done he got clean and pulled himself up, and for years he has been a very chill and nice guy, he is polite whenever he is meeting fans or interviewers, sometimes he may speak a bit direct or not politically correct, and some find that offensive but that is how most of us Danes speak to people, we usually cut right to the core of the issue or the questions, to find the problem or the answer depending on the situation. :)

This is one of the best interviews I've seen. They were just buddies. The interviewer was funny as shit. And Lars really came off like a nice guy. Glad they didn't find a backpack filled with college books.

[@impero101]

The interviewer is the host (well used to be, at the time of this video) of a comedic night time TV show, where they show funny clips (usually weird people/comments/bloopers from local news) from the past week and makes funny jabs at it. It usually includes guest, and Lars has been a guest of the show several times, so there's an existing bond between them. The former American Ambassador in Denmark, Rufus Gifford, has been a recurring guest as well (kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2XOXnyZl55sh6M). He also used to host a satirical radio show.

[@bob5B]

I agree 👍

[@sideact2044]

Say what you will about Lars, not many drummers in their 50's that can still jam thrash metal on drums. Total respect! The man is a machine!

[@rolanddeschain6089]

This "Lars is a totally lousy drummer" - you only read on the internet. It's just become a meme. Sure, he's not the best drummer in the world, but he's not bad either. Anyone who really unironically claims Lars is a really, really bad drummer has no idea. As proof then often comes up some yououtube video in which a few short scenes were cut together in which he messes up or doesn't keep the beat. Taken literaly from thousands of hours of studio and live footage, You could put together a video like this for every drummer in the world.

[@0DNSTcar]

Anglia was the southern part of Denmark. Southern & Eastern Britain got invaded by the Jutes, Saxons, & Agles and became "Angland." So for historical reasons there is a lot of old Danish in English, so it's not surprising it sounds a bit like "wrong" English.

[@bob5B]

As a “moon walk” English?! Lol

[@chrisjames6327]

The UK and Denmark used to basically have the same language until about the 8th century. In fact, even now, Danish words are spelled quite similarly to English words. It's just the fact that they are pronounced completely differently. What happened is that, around the 10th century, the Normans (French) invaded and occupied England. Which changed the entire culture. Including how words were pronounced. Which essentially created a new language. But if you go to Northern English cities, they actually use a lot of Danish words in their dialect. Even now. So the reason it sounds slightly familiar is because their is a lot of crossover. And he's actually using a lot of words, that are spelled similarly to the English version, but are pronounced completely differently. That's really the big difference between English and Scandinavian. They actually use similar words, but they pronounce them COMPLETELY differently

[@lisaanderson7924]

Listening to these Danish men speaking their language is so fascinating, especially as European history, language, and culture are subjects I find interesting and entertaining. The Scandinavian languages belong to a group known as Germanic languages. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the language derived from Germany but that this is a subcategory of European languages found in Scandinavia, Germany & Holland (I’m sure I’m probably missing a few countries but these are the only ones I know of). Long story short, if you listen carefully you will hear certain words that sound like an English accent when spoken by Lars and the other Danes in the video. Old English was a Germanic language, before the translation to a Latin based language. There are competing theories about whether the Anglo Saxons, a group of peoples from modern day Germany, influenced Old English or if it was the “Vikings” that Old English derived from.

[@asgardaomusic]

Languages don't move from one group to another just like that. English, modern and the old ones are Germanic languages. A language can have strong influences from other languages, like for example modern English vocabulary is about 60% loan words from French/Latin. But it still remains a Germanic language.

[@Motorips]

i speak 5 different languages but i´m feelin home in my home dialect rooted in reutlingen. great to see lars as lars and not as one who has to translate its thoughts into a foreign language.
