Metallica Donate Polar Music Prize Money To Three Charities
Metallica were honored with the Polar Music Prize during a ceremony at Konserthuset in Stockholm, Sweden on June 14 and as part of the prize the band received one million Swedish krona (just over $130,000 USD). Now, the group’s All Within My Hands foundation have announced that the money will divided between three charities, with 50 percent going towards Stockholm City Mission, 25 percent going towards World Childhood Foundation, and 25 percent going towards Afghanistan National Institute Of Music. Marie Ledin, managing director of the Polar Music Prize, told Billboard the following:
“Many of the Polar Music Prize Laureates over the years have donated their prize money to charity, It’s not something we ask of them, but we appreciate their generosity. I know my father, Stig Anderson, would be very happy and proud to know of our Laureates’ great charitable donations.”
Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine On Metallica Songwriting Credit Dispute: “I’m Not Giving Nothing To Lars Ulrich”
It was previously revealed that a songwriting credit dispute between Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) and Lars Ulrich led to the expanded version of Metallica’s “No Life ‘Til Leather” getting shelved. Now, Mustaine has discussed that further during a chat with RockHard. You can read what he had to say below.
Mustaine:
“I’m not gonna give him [Lars] my credit, so I’m not gonna be part of it. I wrote all of ‘Mechanix‘, I wrote all of ‘Jump In The Fire‘, so me giving any percentage of that to Lars Ulrich, he can pound sand. And as far as the song ‘Phantom Lord‘, I wrote every note of that music, James [Hetfield] wrote all the lyrics. That’s 50/50. If James wants to give his percentage up to Lars because he’s afraid of him, that’s up to him.
I’m not afraid of Lars Ulrich, and I’m not giving him my percentage. And the same thing with ‘Metal Militia‘; I wrote every single note of that music, James wrote every note of that lyric — that’s 50/50. If James wants to give Lars his percentage, that’s fine if he’s afraid of him. I’m not afraid of him. I’m not giving nothing to Lars Ulrich.
Now, they took it in the past — everybody knows that — and the past is the past. But I could not willingly enter into a new agreement with these guys predicated on Lars getting credit for something that not only he did not do but he was incapable of doing — he was incapable of writing songs that good back then.”
Mustaine also added the following when asked asked if the dispute has closed the door for another Big Four show:
“Oh, I don’t know about that. That has nothing to do with the ‘Big Four.’ I think Lars is just afraid to play with Megadeth.”
