Being the king of metal drummers was not enough for Lars Ulrich. So, the Danish-born Metallica drummer went and got a higher title on Monday (June 12) when he was officially dubbed a knight by the Danish crown prince. His bandmates congratulated Ulrich on the honor bestowed on him by Crown Prince Frederik, saying it was “not bad for a snot-nosed kid from Gentofte!”

In the accompanying pic Ulrich is sporting his new hardware on his lapel as he poses with the 49-year-old Count of Monpezat.

Does this really mean we must address him as Sir Lars now? 😂 Congrats to Lars as he was knighted last night by Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark. Not bad for a snot-nosed kid from Gentofte! 🇩🇰🇩🇰 #RidderafDannebrog #HRHFrederik #whowouldhavethought 📸 @detdanskekongehus
