Post subject:  Okay, THIS should indicate where Metallica is headed

Found this interview on Blabbermouth.

Despite rumors of a possible collaboration with Rick Rubin (SLAYER, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLIPKNOT), METALLICA have no plans of working with anyone else but their longtime producer Bob Rock on their upcoming studio album, the group's drummer Lars Ulrich revealed in a September 2005 interview published in the brand-new issue of METALLICA's fan club magazine, So What! A couple of excerpts from the chat, conducted by So What! editor Steffan Chirazi, follow:

Q: I was going to ask you about other music [from other bands].

Lars Ulrich: "I mean, there's nothing out there that really is particularly inspiring. . . I would say in terms of harder-edged records that have come out in the last year, like I said, other than the third SLIPKNOT album ['Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses'] and the SYSTEM [OF A DOWN] record ['Mezmerize'] that came out a couple, six months ago, there's nothing . . . certainly in the metal world . . . There's a band called AVENGED SEVENFOLD that have an interesting sound, kind of like a fresh mixture of old-school [JUDAS] PRIEST and [IRON] MAIDEN with some new-school attitude, energy, and lyrics. Other than them, nowt. But now with iTunes and iPods, you have records from 25 years ago that are as readily accessible as the new shit. And so me and James [Hetfield, METALLICA guitarist/vocalist] were talking. . . you sit there and listen to the 'Number of the Beast' [IRON MAIDEN's 1982 LP] or you know, 'Strong Arm of the Law' [SAXON's 1980 album], and you almost feel guilty for still getting an enormous amount of pleasure out of that. Because shouldn't there be something else?"

Q: [Talking about the next METALLICA album] It's not been "thought out" or pre-planned.

Lars Ulrich: "No. When I hear a record like the SLIPKNOT record or the SYSTEM record or something like that, I certainly, without being disrespectful to the fine work that 'St. Anger' was, look forward to paying a little more attention to the sonics this time. I would want to make a record again that sounds warmer."

Q: Because it ["St. Anger"] was a very harsh and abrasive record.

Lars Ulrich: "Yeah, and like I said at the time, that was kind of the idea. And we got that out of our system. I would say right now that I certainly look forward to spending a few more minutes on the drum sound rather than sort of ignoring it on purpose. Or making a record that has a little attention paid to the sonics of it. Other than that I really have no idea where it's gonna go."

Q: Is Bob [Rock] in on this? Has that come up for discussion?

Lars Ulrich: "I would say that Bob Rock will always be our producer. You know it's almost like default. It's not whether he should produce, it's more whether he shouldn't produce it. So I would expect Bob Rock to produce it unless he's not interested."

METALLICA's follow-up to 2003's "St. Anger" is expected to surface in late 2006/early 2007 via Warner Bros.

Nothing like saying "the fine work that 'St. Anger' was" and then trashing it. Way to go Lars.

:roll:

let's hope all that old school metal, A7X & SOAD will influence METALLICA....

and I do hope the sound will be warmer but what I really hope is SONGS (something totally lacking on Shit Anger)

Thx for the info Seinfeld ! :D

Fucking morons. I hope this album will be the final nail in the coffin that will be the break-up of this retarded charade of a band.

You'll find that a good majority of artists generally have no idea what comes and goes in the music world. I don't know why that is, but a lot of bands don't hear much new music for some strange reason.

I've noticed the same. Most bands just spin their old favorites and that's that.

Anyone wonder how these old "Hard to find albums from 25 years ago" magically apeared on Lars's Ipod? I mean can you get that shit on Itunes?

All I have to say to Lars is that there is this band called Nevermore and they can teach you many things, good things.

Yes, actually. There's a lotta old shit on iTunes. The whole Brutal Truth discography, for one. Napalm Death as well. Kreator, Godflesh, et cetera.

That having been said, everyone knows that the new Metallica record will be a pathetic shit-joke.

probably.... Lars loves money more than the law... :twisted:

@DM, how dare you say this album will be a pathetic shit-joke when you haven't heard a single note ? :? I don't doubt that, even if it's good, you'll stand by what you said but that doesn't make you any cleverer... :roll:

Yes indeed! Hopefully they will release, something at least better than St.Anger

I'm listening to Damage Inc. right now and if they can make a song half as good as this one in the next album, I won't be dissapointed.
This kicks so much ass.
