Yes, Metallica do plan on recording a new album, but frontman James Hetfield has reiterated his bandmates' recent statements that the process of putting together the disc has been a slow one. In fact, he reveals that the songwriting portion has yet to even begin.
Suicidal Tendencies frontman Mike Muir was the guest on Full Metal Jackie’s radio show this past weekend. Muir spoke all about the band’s latest disc, ‘13,’ as well as their approach to creating music. He also talked about touring and playing this year’s Orion Music + More Festival with Infectious Grooves. If you missed Full Metal Jackie’s show, check out her interview with Mike Muir below:
This has been a week Metallica will definitely remember for quite some time to come. After receiving a whole lot of love at the 2013 Revolver Golden Gods ceremony Thursday night in Los Angeles, the band headed back to the Bay Area on Friday (May 3) to join their local World Series-winning San Francisco Giants in some very special pre-game festivities.
The performance everyone had been waiting for was Metallica's show-closing set, and the band came ready to rock. A blistering performance of 'Disposable Heroes' brought a standing ovation, with Lars Ulrich perhaps the only person on his seat at the end of the song whe
It's a big week for Metallica, who will follow their Revolver Golden Gods honor Thursday night (May 2) with a little love from their hometown San Francisco Giants on Friday (May 3). The band members will get to throw out the first pitch before Friday's game and perform the National Anthem for the audience, but even before the fun on the field, the group connected with one of their favorite Giants players.
Better be patient, Metallica fans, because drummer Lars Ulrich isn't expecting to release another album for another couple of years.
The 21st century began with online file-sharing becoming a major problem. Napster was the leader in peer-to-peer file sharing, but artists and labels began to pay closer attention when sales dipped and their music was being shared without their control. Among those not happy with this transaction was Metallica.
Metallica have their hands full with a number of various projects, and now the band has unveiled 'huge' details about the release of their 3D film 'Metallica Through the Never.' The band has announced that the film will open in theaters Sept. 27, playing on IMAX screens across the U.S. for a full week.
Metallica are currently in the process of moving on to their next record, but drummer Lars Ulrich recognizes exactly what their past release, 'Death Magnetic,' has meant to their career. Speaking with United Arab Emirates paper The National, the drummer says that the disc may be a difficult one to follow, but he feels up to the challenge.
