Re: METALLICA Discussion
It continues with "I will set you free".
Maybe that's not much of an improvement, though...

METALLICA has tapped Greg Fidelman '” an engineer/producer who has worked with current METALLICA producer Rick Rubin on albums for the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLIPKNOT and AUDIOSLAVE, among others '” to mix its much-anticipated new album, due out in September.
During a May 14 interview with The Pulse of Radio, Ulrich said that the group hopes to wrap up work on the album in time for the Memorial Day weekend holiday. "It's pretty close," he said. "We've got four studio days next week to just patch up. If there's a last minute, you know, 'that needs this...' or '” but pretty much done. Yeah, it's pretty much done. And then they start mixing the week after."
Ulrich said METALLICA wrote 26 songs for the new CD but ended up finalizing about 14 of them with producer Rick Rubin. A total of 11 have actually been tracked for the album, though Ulrich said "length issues" might mean one more has to be eliminated.
"These are long songs ... we're talking seven-minute, eight-minute, nine-minute nutty-ass songs," Ulrich revealed. "We don't make them long or short on purpose; you just kind of do what feels natural. We're not really gonna edit them, (so) we're gonna lose another one at some point in the next month or so and probably end up with 10."
Ulrich described the material as "definitely pretty all over the place. There's a lot of variation, a lot of fast, slow, melodic ... kind of hardcore, nutty super-fast speed stuff. It's a little more like how some of the earlier records were a little more dynamic within the songs."
The drummer also said that METALLICA will begin a full-length tour in October, shortly after the new CD arrives.
The band next plays the Bonnaroo festival in mid-June, a series of European festivals, and the newly configured one-day Ozzfest this August in Dallas.

Re: METALLICA Discussion
Mission: Metallica is up and running fully as of now. More or less.
I just listened to Devil's Dance from last nights show in Poland and James Hetfield's voice was TIGHT!
Damn, did he sound good. (And a nice comeback for the song itself too)

The most important thing from that is "most songs have more than two solos" I'm happy 
Re: METALLICA Discussion
I'm actually liking the addition of Trujillo on bass. I recall the band Infectious grooves he was in & listened to them online a few weeks ago. A good fast thrash/funk metal band. & Suicidal Tendencies was great. Although, I think he was only in them for a short time.
Still I think he was a good addition for them to expand, and try new things & have a new feel. Not just Metallica's bass player. I'm not knocking Newstead BTW, I just agree with Metallica's replacement.

Oh Newsted was good for what they needed. However they definetly gave him the cold shoulder too much. I mean there was a reason he was so goddamned low in the mix on all the tracks. And it wasn't playing related.
