    That is apparently because Kirk lost his phone with millions of ideas upon it and found himself ostracised from the writing process - in a recent interview he sounds noticeably peeved. Still doesn't explain why Rob only gets one credit. They, Hetfield/Ulrich, seem to have reverted to their old style dictatorship!

    I do not think it is quite as good as Death Magnetic, but it is near enough.

    I'm not sure either, on each videos we can see the songs grew around Ulrich, Hetfield and Trujillo. Trujillo is vital for the grooves, the right keys...He's the only good musician in the band, even Hetfield said they're afraid to jam with other musicians seeing they aren't that good.

    It seems like Ulrich is the musical gatekeeper of the band, selecting which riff to put where on the album. He spent nearly a year, sat down through thousands of Hetfield's riffs. He even teached Hammet on how the guitar solos should go based on his idolatry for R. Blackmore. Hetfield recently said there is something magical happening each time he's working with Ulrich, we can't blame him for saying that. Hardwired is Lars's vision of Metallica.

  3. New Interview on Trunk Nation

    "Well, there [were] multiple reasons [why I left GN'R] — a couple that I won't go into — but the biggest reason was I needed to get back to my roots, back to what I really truly believed in, and that was playing songs I helped write with [SIXX:A.M. bandmates] James [Michael] and Nikki [Sixx]. We [SIXX:A.M.] have five albums out [and] we have a ten-year career together. So we did a tour, 'Modern Vintage' tour, where it was, like, nineteen shows, and that tour really changed my life and put my career back into perspective — you know, being out on the stage and connecting with the fanbase."

    Ashba also once again claimed that he was approached about being part of GN'R's "Not In This Lifetime" tour, but that he declined, citing his desire to pursue SIXX:A.M. full time.

    "Axl called me and he really wanted me a part of the reunion, and I turned it down," Ashba said. "I felt if Slash is coming back, that's great — that's what the fans want, and I can go off and do what I really wanna do now… And we left [off on good terms]; everything is good. And I couldn't be happier for the fans out there. I'm a fan. Half of the band reunited, which excites me, but at the same time, it's the best of both worlds — I get to do what I really love to do, and that's play in SIXX:A.M."

    DJ added that he hasn't been in contact with Axl since his exit from GUNS N' ROSES and hasn't had a chance to see the reunited GUNS N' ROSES on the "Not In This Lifetime" tour. He explained: "My focus has been SIXX:A.M. a hundred percent . We went in and wrote a double album — 'Prayers For The Blessed' and 'Prayers For The Damned' — and we've been on tour ever since. So we've been incredibly busy ourselves."
