G n F n R Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) 7/25/07, 4:35 pm ESTMetallica’s New Album: “Ridiculous,” “Sick,” “Bitchin’” Says Matt Sorum Metallica are hard at work on their next album with producer Rick Rubin, and at least one person outside the band has heard the songs: Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum. We’ll let him take it from here: “Lars is a good friend of mine. He played me the demos from San Francisco, and I turned and looked at him and I said, ‘Master that shit and put it out.’ It’s ridiculous. The demos were sick. Eight-minute songs, all these tempo changes, crazy fast. It’s like, ‘Dude, don’t get slower when you get older, but don’t get faster!? How are you gonna play this live?’ And then me and Lars were out partying all night, and he had to go in the studio the next day and do this stupid like nine or ten minute song, and I was laughing at him — because he played me the demo of it, and it was [sings really fast drum part], so fast. I called him, and said, ‘Dude, how are you feeling?’ He was like, ‘Dude, I’m hurting.’ They’re cutting everything to tape, no fuckin’ Pro Tools — live, no clicks. Bitchin’. I dig it. I’m really excited for them.”Photo: AFP/Moilanen/Getty -- Brian HiattArticle Link Edited July 25, 2007 by G n F n R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binge_And_Slash Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I hope it's actually coherent music rather than just random bashing on cymbals and guitar playing - a.k.a St Anger.Though lately I am liking a few songs off that album - the title track especially.

ADPT Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 That's promising news. Also, if anyone else complains about their work post Black Album, I'm going to scream. Even if a band goes wrong, there's always the possibility they can go right again. Stop damning it before you've heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppelin Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Load and Reload aren't awful albums by any stretch. They're just different from what everyone expected. If Metallica had combined the best songs from each album and made it one, it would be 10 times better than TBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
