Lars Ulrich, the legendary drummer of Metallica, has acknowledged that his enthusiasm for his sons’ band, Taipei Houston, has sometimes led him to offer “too much constructive criticism.”

During an interview on the Rock 95.5 radio station, Ulrich discussed his involvement with Taipei Houston and his pride in their work. He emphasized the band’s creativity while admitting to occasionally providing feedback on how they could improve.

While expressing his pride in their accomplishments, Ulrich admitted, “At the same time, we have a very open and transparent relationship, and certainly a couple of times along the way I’ve expressed that maybe things could be better.” He pondered whether he might have given “too much constructive criticism” at times, suggesting that he might have crossed a line.

Taipei Houston, formed during the pаndemic, is a duo comprising Ulrich’s sons, Layne on bass guitar and Myles on drums. They recently released their debut single, ‘As the Sun Sets,’ and have performed at notable venues and festivals, including Lollapalooza and Reading and Leeds festival.

In an interview for the Metallica website, Layne and Myles discussed the band’s formation, revealing that they began playing together more seriously during the pаndemic while quarantined at their father’s house. Myles, primarily handling guitar duties for the band, utilized the basement setup for songwriting and rehearsals. Layne, who had never sung before, also contributed vocals, describing the process as a learning curve.

As Taipei Houston continues to evolve, their journey is closely followed by music enthusiasts eager to witness the next chapter of their musical exploration.
