Rob Trujillo talks about new Metallica record (not Lulu)
I didn’t know Rob had been promoted to ‘talking about the new album’ privileges within the band, but I guess he was.
In a recent interview with GulfNews, he mentioned a few new songs the band has been working on for their new, post-Lulu album.
“We’ve been busy writing and recording. We’ve got a couple of new songs we have been working on the past couple of weeks. The writing process for the new Metallica album has begun. We’ve been in the studio with Rick Rubin, working on a couple of things, and we’re going to be recording during the most of next year. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us. But the great thing is that we have sort of already jumped off the launch pad and we’re swimming. It’s happening. It’s reality. It’s a lot of fun, there are a lot of ideas, and we’re really excited about the new record.“
Read full interview here.
New ideas? Uhm, that doesn’t sound too good. Are they getting a new grandpa to mumble stuff over their riffs?
Seriously, whenever Metallica got a new idea, we got Load, ReLoad, St. Anger, S&M, and Lulu, so you can see why words like ‘ideas’ might spell trouble for me.
Anyway, read the whole interview, they talk about feeling like teenagers again. I’ll say, Lou Reed is probably around 300 years old, not hard feeling young around him.
Anthrax and Kirk sitting in a tree…
Kirk “The ball-to-little-girl’s-face kicker” Hammett, Metallica‘s guitarist, joined Anthrax on stage in San Francisco.
It happened last night and he did guest vocals (huh?) on “I Am The Law.”
Then he remembered he sort of plays guitar, and played “Whiplash.”
The audio from the clip above is awful. There’s another clip after the jump, audio is just as bad. So yeah, don’t watch it.
Friday Top 10: Worst band transformations, part 2
Another Friday, another Top 10. Except this one is the same as the last one.
Well, kind of. Continuing from last time, we take a look at ten more examples of band transformations we could have lived without. Note that the list is not really in a particular order, and then make the jump.
Robb still loves Metallica. Clearly he hasn’t heard Lulu yet…
Revolver magazine recently conducted an interview with Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn. Much of the chat revolves around what it was like for the band opening for Metallica, his love for them, and whether he is a table or not. You can read more on the story, and view videos and photos from the tour, over at Blabbermouth.
Check out the video of James Hetfield joining Machine Head on stage to perform their masterpiece, ‘Aesthetics of Hate’, above. The performance is taken from May 2009 during the Death Magnetic tour.
