Metallica: More Album Details

Virginia Fuel, Virginia's local chapter of the Metallica Club, published an interview with Lars Ulrich's longtime assistance Steven Wiig. Here is excerpt from the chat:

Have you had a chance to listen to the new stuff that Metallica is working on?

Steve Wiig: "I hear it all of the time. I can't get away from it. I'm usually in or around the studio with them. There's some fast stuff, heavy stuff, slow stuff. There's some stuff on there that sounds a little bit closer to the "Fade to Black" / "Sanitarium" / "One"-style. the clean riff thing, a great melody. Verse stuff with the heavy chorus and the ending blows the shit out of the roof. It's cool to hear them doing that kind of thing again. That's what Rick Rubin has been saying; don't be afraid of doing more of what you do really well. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Just make a really good Metallica album."

"So far — as far as I know — James is doing all of the lyrics, and not necessarily like what was done for "St. Anger". I’d imagine Rubin would want James to go off into his own world and tap into his own things and get lyrics that come from the heart. I think James' track record has definitely shown he is capable of coming up with some deep lyrics when he taps into it on his own. I'm anxious to hear what he digs up lyrically."

Steven Ray Wiig is an American musician and film actor. He is the drummer in the band Papa Wheelie, fronted by former Metallica bass player Jason Newsted and appears in the films Into the Wild under director Sean Penn and Some Kind of Monster. He currently resides in Sausalito, Marin County, California and works with Metallica. He is a close friend and Personal Assistant to Lars Ulrich.

Sounds good, even though it is the same crap that has been recycled to us for the past year and a half about this album.

[Birdy266]

That's pretty insightful... for a gentlemen who goes by the name "Spazzy Magee". lol

[breakstuff]

Can wait, seriously! I hope this album reinstates what Metallica is all about, especially to the people who have never lived through the early releases of Metallica's greatest albums.

[duncang]

Fantastic. This album is gonna be quality. It's not gonna be a full on thrash album but it will be good.

[goon316]

Fade To Black is one of my favorite songs of all time. That comment bodes well for the new album.

[as_i_lay_dead]

the hard/soft thing in their songs is awesome, i mean it happens in most of their great ones, fade to black, one, sanitarium, MoP, etc, so only upon hearing that did i actually gain any enthusiasm for this album coming out

[matalliam]

i cant f**king wait!!!!

[The Novice]

Everything I hear about this just makes me more and more excited. It WILL kick ass!

[MonsterOfRock]

I'm gonna be honest. I got into Metallica through Load and Reload (while the Nirvana-babies spawned in bunches). They're good albums, and if it weren't for them, I'd never understand the likes of Puppetz, Justice or Lighning albums. But I wasn't fortunate enough to listen to them at their prime. And with all respect for one band that inpired me to pick up singing and guitar playing, I'd like to see them back to the Top. Long live...

[guitaringsailor]

CAN'T WAIT

[Fi-Fi]

Than kgod he didn't say it was dynamic, if i hear metallica state their album is 'dynamic' i am going to shoot myself in the head. No offence but since this the word dynamic is all they've used to describe it. and the half of the album is already leeked, i've heard some of it, and i didn't really like it. Well i don't want to spoil anyting for you fans but thats my opinion

[Metallicaxp]

I WANT IT NOW!

[Lin]

Meh. Metal doesn't need metallica any more. If they go back to their old style stuff because that's what's popular now, how is that any less selling out than the nu metal on St. Anger?

Bottom line: if this is half as good as United Abominations it will probably win a grammy. Where's the justice in that?

[visionen]

Its not leaked, what you've heard is either trashed songs like "the new song" or fake songs from other bands renamed. Nice try though.

[visionen]

Lin, you consider St. Anger a sell out? thats actually a first time bash from a Megadeth fan. Usually you go for the load and reload albums. Still not very intelligent, but at least creative.

[Metallicaxp]

This is going to ba an awesome album, i can just feel it!

[STOJDub]

I'm with everyone else hoping that this album doesnt suck eggs.

[Ryansb123]

hopefully this might bring trash back to get alot more popular again

[Ryansb123]

bring thrash!! thrash!! lol was typo for the trash soz

[Jondy]

I agree they should just do what works well for them. They aren't really good at "reinventing the wheel" and their a bit old to be experimenting anyways. Save that for the new younger bands.

[Eldanar]

uaa, it is going to be great, i hope.. my favourite type of song are sanitarium, one , and fade to black stuff..!! i am really looking forward !8

[gooooog]

if its anything like there first 5 albums then ill be so ****ing glad. and btw any one who likes metallica ****ing rules!!!!!

ps i donmt actually mind st anger but it really dosent match the first five albums

[SicSeb]

I hope it will be good but I am thinking they are giving people false hope by saying ow it sounds like the old Metallica, ow it sounds like this or that, ow it sounds like what the fans will love etc etc etc. But I am thinking people will get their hopes up, get wrong impressions and eventualy feel that the album is a let down.

[Mr.Garreth]

All the signs are there for great album: Rick Rubin, James Hetfield the lone writer, Metallica making songs in the best way they KNEW how. Lets just hope they live up to the great signs.

checked.

man i love your nickname

[tands]

i love how all these articles mention that this wont sound like St. Anger

[travislausch]

So the band is "reinventing" themselves by rehashing what they did 20 years ago.

I wanted them to out-do St. Anger... BUT NOT LIKE THIS.

[papercuteye]

I have barely any faith for these guys anymore since probably re-load, load had a couple good songs but thats it anything on and before the black album was great. But all we can do is hope that it is a better direction on this album and actually "pure ****ing metal"

[Sanitarium91]

These details get me all psyched but a part of me knows the good ol' Metallica is gone. I just hope the riffs on it will be more KIA-MOP or AJFA like, than what they written after those albums. Fast, but not like on St.Anger which had fast songs but they were lacking something. And please none of those embarassing songs like Purify... yuck!

[Dookie92]

Man, How much longer, I wasnt even born yet when the last great metallica album was made! CANT WAIT!

[perilouspete]

i'm excited for it but i just hate how it's been 5 years since the last one and they keep delaying it. if it comes out and it's great, that's cool. but then by the time they release another one it might be too late for them to sound good again. maybe this is one of their last shots and sounding good. who knows. i just hate how long it takes them to write a goddamn record.

Then your friend doesn't know what he is talking about. Your friend can moderate whatever he likes, doesn't make him any more an expert.

[i_am_metalhead]

Rick Rubin is an amazing producer and he really knows what will sell and what the fans really want to hear. I highly doubt he would allow Metallica to create another album similar to St. Anger.

I can't wait for this album!

[undeaded]

If this turns out anything like St. Anger, there are going to be lots of angry fans.

Black Album was best, replicate it.

[TSCREAM420]

cant wait!

[Dyers]

cant wait for it since they have been teasing about the album coming out for like the past 3 years

[jimicrakcrn]

I don't understand why they're letting Rubin push them into doing what's popular. I'm one of the few who likes all of Metallica's albums. And I really hate to see that they're just going to rehash some of the formulas they used on older albums. St. Anger wasn't that bad at all. It had a couple really shitty songs on it, but it also had a few good ones.

I didn't like St. Anger at first. But after I watched the Some Kind Of Monster documentary, you know it kind of grew on me. I mean, at one point it looked like Metallica was finished. And then they put out St. Anger and as much hate as it still gets today, by the genre in which St. Anger is placed... it's one of the better albums that came out that year.

Anyways. If they're not going to experiment really, and they're just going to try to please all of the people that they've pissed off by musically evolving... then I hope the album is their best, and last. Go out with a bang, you know?

[SG Man Forever]

I'm tired of hearing ABOUT this album. I wanna hear it. I personally thik they're gonna redeem themselves. Rick Rubin wouldn't let them produce another St. Anger, he's too good of a producer for that.

[NightEmbers]

He always refers to St. Anger and says something like its completely different then what we did then,

[R3ACH_69]

I hope they go back to the "Master of Puppets" era with this album, but either way it's METALLICA

[randyaintdead82]

Hmmmm what do i want, another justice/ride the lighning or another black album? wht does anyone here think?

[guitargod21136]

i actually liked all metallicas albums, but the later ones really cant compare to their early stuff, i.e. kill em' all, ride the lightning, master of puppets, ...and justice for all

[outlawtorn3711]

i dont care what anyone says every Metallica album is bad ass...yeah St. Anger was the best but it still had some good shit...Thats what make Metallica awesome, they arent afraid to go outside the box and try new stuff unlike these neweer bands that sound the same every single album, and James is a bad ass songwriter and his riffs are ****ing sweet and guitar solos are back for this one, this album=good shit on the way!!

[Tierkönig]

rhysog wrote:

metallica are awesome ,st anger let them down , you cant let one album change ur perspective about a band , every band has there shit albums

But most bands only have 1 shit album... Metallica has had 3. Most bands (at least the ones worth talking about) also have more albums out too, so the ratio of good to bad albums is even worse for them...

[himetal]

AAAAHH!! I can't f**king wait for this album to come!!! I'm even more exited when I didn't get tickets for a show!!

[BewilderedSon]

Fade to Black/One/Sanitarium?? The intro solo will be back!!!

[Ichimaru]

If Metallica fail to release a good album this time, Modern metal may become our only hope. But with its relentless double-bassing, mindless screaming, inaudible basslines and uninspired guitar solos, the outlook is bleak. Megadeth are still struggling to keep any decent metal in the limelight, but I think that this next Metallica album will really make-it-or-break-it for metal in general.

[himetal]

We never stop!!, we never quit!! , we're METALLICA

[himetal]

mess with the best!, die like the rest!

[himetal]

It wasn't me!!! it was the sugar man!! :o

[himetal]

[himetal]

If anyone is f**king close enough to talk to MetallicA (or are metallica) just say from me: I'M YOU'RE BIGGEST FAN

[himetal]

Nothing you can do about it!!!!!

[Pleasure2kill]

I love the new comments on the album, sounds great! It would be amazing if Metallica came back to lead this new Thrash Revival going on! They basically led the first thrash bands, and now they could be back to lead the new revival bands! Imagine a Metallica show with Municipal Waste or Evile opening!!!!

[sXe170]

I am so psyched. I cannot wait any longer!

[strat0blaster]

Man, when I read that James was doing all the lyrics, I almost jumped and screamed for joy. Finally - the lyrical content and melody is back where it belongs - in the hands of the SINGER. That already makes this album more promising as far as I'm concerned.

Other than that bit, I'm sick of the hype for this album, and I'd rather they just leave it alone until it's about to come out.

[Otnip]

Sounds like a step in the right direction, but who the hell would give bad publicity to their client? Keep an open mind but be realistic, people.

[xtreme2ya]

thats so cool. the best style they had is these melodies like sanatarium, one, fade to black, and classic thrash, like motorbreath and the kill em all album.

[papercuteye]

by the way, hopefully they will put metal back up our ass!!!

[bootyking69]

i doubt it will be as great as master or justice but id be happy if it was just as good as the black album. i loves thrash but the black album was great too.

[Megallica666]

god i hope its good. you hear that god! stay out of their way!

[DimebagRob]

That is ridiculous! If all you have to cling to are bands from 20 years ago then i feel for you. You are missing out on the vast amount of decent music being released today. Your extreme generalisation is plain ignorance. I do agree that some of the more commercial metal bands would fit into those categories listed but there really are some amazing bands that are inventive that just aren't that popular. You just have to search around on the net and you will find it.

This album...i have lost interest really in metallica but it would be nice to see them make a good album. I feel they have a lot to prove with this album after the harsh criticism they got from St.Anger and this will provide a determination possibly for them to prove even to themselves that they still have it. Good luck to them

[fastlanestoner]

sweetness

[FretboardToAsh]

They alone bashed st anger more than me since it came out, all the time they say it's not going to be like st anger.

[sneaky11]

HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY THIS ALBUM WILL BE AMAZING AND WILL BE NOTHING LIKE ST. ANGER!!!!!

1. Tuning- In st. anger, metallica used a drop-C tuning which basically makes every note two notes lower and it ended up sounding shitty although i applaud metallica for trying something new. In the new album they have gone back to the traditional E tuning so it automatically will sound better than st. anger.

2. Lars- In st. anger, he took the snare off of his snare drum and it basicslly sounded like he was hitting trash cans. In the new album, he has put the snare back on, so it will sound like traditional metallica drums!!!

3. Rick Rubin- Metallica is once again working with the man that helped them produce amazing albums such as ride the lightning and master of puppets. Rick is working with metallica to help them use those two albums as reference points during the creation of the new album. So basically, metallica will probably sound like the good old metallica we've all grown to love of the 80's.

4. Guitar Solos- This is probably the biggest difference (and upgrade) from this album as compared to st. anger. In st. anger there were no (I repeat) no guitar solos!!! How absurd is that? what is the point of having the god of a guitarist, Kirk Hammett, in you band if you arent going to let him play solos. Metallica is lucky Kirk didnt leave the band back in 2000. But not to worry, the new album WILL HAVE GUITAR SOLOS!!!!! and since the music of today sucks so bad, these will be the best solos that anyone has heard since '91 (the black album)

Summary- So for all of you people like me that have been hoping metallica would once again make the amazing music that they used to, not to worry because they are and the new album will be amazing!!!!

[petergreen]

dam another shitty album in the making...
i thought they might actually make another "Thrash" album but iguess not, goddamn why od they have ot o that slow shit.
i was listenin to the radio a few months ago and the DJ was like "Metallica is supposed to be getting back to their roots with this album" and i called in and i was all like, the only way Metallica is gettin back to thrashin is if (then)Glen Drover is a spy workin for metallica stealin Dave's riffs again.

[angus41]

Metallica would bee soo much better with Dave Mustaine!! Why the F*ck did they kick him out? He's 10 times better then Kirk Hammett, all kirk is famous for is his fuc**ng Waha Wahh Pedal!! I dont like Kirk!! @)

Time for a new band to start the Thrash movement up again.

These *******s get a free ride-all they have to do to make "comeback" is to be better than St. Anger.

They're going to take a huge shit, and everybody's going to worship them for it. The band died when they released Load. That's when they sold out. Not at St. Anger. They made their mark and now they're history.

Why's it so hard to make something interesting or at least acceptably decent when you're an aging band? Maiden and Megadeth have proven they can pull it off. Stop giving Metallica the benefit of the doubt. Unless they release something pretty damn masterful, even if it's better than St. Anger, it's no improvement.

Kirk is awesome. Mustaine is awesome. Everyone is awesome. If Mustaine never would of been a drunk and gotten kicked out of Metallica, then MEGADETH would never of been formed, it's sad but true (good song \m/ ) and I don't think I could live without hearing Holy Wars again.

really not looking forward to this, itll just give people who cant sing or play good guitar the hope that they two should start a crappy band and try to take over the world.

[utjimbo2010]

I guess I'm looking forward to the album, but some people posting here should leave the 80's. There are good bands making music right now that solo and write some damn good metal. Check out Mastodon and Protest the Hero if you want to hear genre-defying metal. Someone might complain about PTH's vocalist, but don't give me that "its prog-metal-punk-core" line. If there's growling, twin guitar leads, and thundering bass, I'd say it's metal.

[Set-Abominae]

I have mixed feelings after reading this. While I don't agree that Metallica is "the last outpost of originality", not by a long shot, I am excited for an album reminiscent of their 80's days. But at the same time, I can't help but feel everyone who gives a statement about the new album is just telling us what we want to hear, i.e. "Not like St. Anger" "Songs resembling One/Fade" "Return to the 80's" etc. The only way to tell if this album will be hit or miss is to wait and see. I, for one, will keep my fingers crossed.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
And your right about lots of bands copying their sound, but that's what makes Metallica revolutionary: they ****ing started that particular sound.

The scooped guitars, badass solos, speedy riffs. Every metal band today has influence from Metallica and that is why they are as big and badass as they are today. They started it all, they're the originators. So, any metal fan that doesn't get excited about a new Metallica album has something wrong with them.

[dj.myburgh]

Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion. In my opinion I think Metallica are unstopable, and if this album is material like MOP and RTL then this is going to be one hell of an album.

Metallica's the best, end of story.

[Lauri]

I love all of Metallica's albums. Even Load, ReLoad and St. Anger. But they weren't the real Metallica. I hope this is like Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, And Justice, Master of Puppets and Metallica combined!

[Hamham272]

You know after all this I just wanna hear what Trujillo has bought to the table. Maybe he's what the band needs... after all, the bands sound has changed after every bassist change. Think 'bout it, Puppets to AJFA, Reload to Saint Anger. All completely different sounds, so what will it be people?

Thrash or Pure Metal?

Kill em All or Ride the Lightening?

[sk8kid49]

load, reload, and St. Anger weren't bad albums they just were Metallica albums. I watched the Some Kind of Monster documentary video and their producer at the time and actually a lot of the people that were interviewed said they sounded like a whole new band. That is, in essence, what happened. they went to an almost totally different sub-genre/style for st. anger and the load/reload albums were the prelude to that. I think they got their first taste of real commercialism with the black album and they fell into they trap of making music that people would buy. wat they needed to do was make music that they wanted to make because they loved it. im hoping that thats what theyve done with their new album: made music that they can feel proud of not because it sold the most albums or won a grammy but because they have the respect of their fans for making their own decisions

I'm gonna be honest. I got into Metallica through Load and Reload (while the Nirvana-babies spawned in bunches). They're good albums, and if it weren't for them, I'd never understand the likes of Puppetz, Justice or Lighning albums. But I wasn't fortunate enough to listen to them at their prime. And with all respect for one band that inpired me to pick up singing and guitar playing, I'd like to see them back to the Top. Long live...

This kind of information is priceless to the millions of dedicated fans all around the world. It provides a sense of comfort and reassurance to the many fans, from my point of view, an act of understanding and compassion on Metallica's behalf.

Trust me, they don't need publicity. It's ****ing Metallica.

I can agree with a lot of that. But MCR sucks, plain and simple. A lot of these new bands do. If you ever want a man of opinion on music, look up Bill Hicks talking about Jimi Hendrix on youtube...hilarious stuff.

Anyhow, back to Metallica, I didn't think St. Anger was all that bad, but I can see the flaws, compared to the earlier masterpieces. I just can't wait for this, I'm sure it will, at the very least, have 7 bad ass songs that everyone likes (except for the random 1 or 2 people that just hate everything).

So... because they take the time to write the damn music, there's something wrong?

If I were them I'd think about every step of the songwriting as much as possible... I mean, with how much their latest 3 albums suck, they had better think extremely hard about everything they do so as to not make the same mistakes again.

Either way, from what I've heard, this album should be pretty good, I'm assuming it'll be better than Load/Reload/St. Anger at least...

Oh and sammi-ellen, you realise that if it weren't for metallica so many of today's bands wouldn't even exist? They inspired bands who inspired bands and so on until the chain ends at crappy bands like MCR. So you'd better thank the classic metal bands like Megadeth, Iron Maiden, and, of course, Metallica.

Plus, one of the reasons people bash MCR so much is that it's hilarious to see all the emo fans get so worked up over such a crappy band. Whereas when you bash bands like Metallica, they don't have hilarious responses, rather logical arguments, like my whole "inspired bands who inspired bands" thing.

[dark_falco3000]

Oh and I just realised... when you said, "ver since they brought the "pm-pm-pm-0-0-0-5-7-0-pm" style to the mainstream every single metal band has copied it", that is the stupidest argument I've heard. It's not saying that Metallica is unoriginal, it's saying that Metallica was the original and everything else copied them making them the unoriginal. You said they brought that particular style to the mainstream, and that other bands copy them. Not that they copied them from someone else. Therefore, at the time, it was original.

You officially phail.

wasn't it lars who said thrash metal was open E riffing for 5 minutes anyway?ha!

I doubt this will be a new thrash album and i personaly have pissed and moaned about alot of the stuff metallica have released but im willing to eat my words,i mean i want to be proven wrong and have this be a good album. maybe they should all sit around and listen yo the musical direction megadeth went after risk(their "st anger" in my opinion)

Hey SNEAKY11.....

I was unaware that Rick Rubin worked with Metallica on Lightning and Puppets. I'd never heard that before, so I'm a bit unsure about that piece of info. I totally agree with your other 3 points, though, all the way!

And if they're working on another Fade/Sanitarium/One type song, does that mean it will start on that same open E\B chord with a little intro solo in E harmonic minor and all? After the first two (Fade/Sanitarium) I didn't think they could pull it off again, but then they did it with One, and that ruled, so hopefully there's at least another trick in that bag.

And no, I'm not 100% certain on all my chord/scale ferences, but I know that they're at least close, so don't jump me, fellas! Ya get my point.

[lilmetallica]

first of all....ST. ANGER RULEZZ!!!!!...it was a metallica album that they wanted to make and that in itself makes it awesome, honestly if you cant say its at least decent then you have no musical ear, it was still so much better than anything else at that time....SECOND.....is anyone else worried that they're just now startin to write lyrics, if they want it out around christmas time {to boost sales} they better hurry up a bit.....THIRD.....I CANT FVCKIN WAIT DUDE!!!!!

HELLLZ YYYEAAAAA

OH, i forgot, anyone that is hoping it will sound like some particular thing shouldnt hope too hard cause when it doesnt sound like that youll be pretty mad eh?....i hope it sounds like metallica, not the 80s or 90s or whatever just the music they feel they should make...

cant wait for the new metallica album. it must sound like the 80s stuff n black album. and who cares if its not new and 'trendy'. the sounds of old songs are making a comeback. and i am so looking forward to Hammet ,hetfield and trujillo doin some awesome work together. some solos would be nice too. let it rip

Im sorry i forgot that everything you believe is absoltulty true, if you could please us what bands you like so that we could please go into their news stories and tear them apart, metallica does a lot more than just simple palm muting riffs (perhaps you could give a listen to any of their 8 minute plus instrumentals) you cant blame them for every shitty band out there that doesnt even make sense metallica did what they wanted, if other bands took their style and made it repetitive thats not metallicas fault thats the fault of the bands who stole the sound and just copied it, metallica was original in their style of playing you have to at least give them credit for that, when they came out (along wtih the other 4 bands of thrash metal, slayer, megadeth, anthrax, and testament) they were incredibly radical there was no one else who sounded like them.

Sammi-ellen i also liked how u came in here and decided to bag metallica, then told us not to go into MCR articles and bag them, but apparently its ok for u to go into metallica articles and do so.

Best we can hope for (for those that want to hear new songs) is that they play some on their little european tour their doing this summer starting at the end of May.. which could mean we get to hear some new stuff!

LONG LIVE METALLICA
AND MEGADETH
AND ANTHRAX
AND SLAYER
AND sorta PANTERA theyre not really living on RIP =(
AND IRON MAIDEN
AND OZZY

I fear for the day that all the old musicians die.
it'll be one f*cked up century this go-around

agreed...

[metal_freak_cam]

anyone else notice that james is going grey....

[IRONMAIDENTLICA]

AGREE WITH JAMES HET RULES, yeah hes going gray but hes also like 43 or so. Agree with you by the way metallica is one of my top favorites too, but i was like 3 last time they released a true metal album.

metallica are awesome ,st anger let them down , you cant let one album change ur perspective about a band , every band has there shit albums

not stp or pantera or trivium for that matter...but hopefully this album would be a mix of "master" and "black", for me personally that would be best

[EPompa]

Metallica Lives!

[reactionzero10]

wtf just put the ****ing album out already you old bastards

[nolife'tilmetal]

yup...i'm just another metallica fan on an eternal metallica forum saying that i can't wait for the new album and i didn't like much of their stuff after the black album and blah blah blah wow i never knew there was so much stuff about metallica to talk about. It took me about 2 minutes to scroll down to the bottom of the page...

Where did all those good metal bands go from the 70s and 80s? i wish people would make music like that again. I think it's because Randy, Dime, Cliff, Chuck, Hendrix and other guys died. There is this kid at my school who looks, plays, and acts like dimebag. He's like the next dimebag if that's possible only skinnier hahaha. Wait this is about metallica and i'm talking nothing about them. They should release a demo or something on their website just to hold us over til september.

sadly enough its cuz as time changes, so does culture, style, and fads and shit

[King Herman III]

i really hope all the hype for this is worth it. they havent put out much good music since the black album

[mohsensalehi]

have you guys ever listened to the new song or other new song by Metallica? you'll find it on youtube.com
those fukcing songs are completly crapy shit! especially new song #2 shows how metallica has fukced up.they've got no brilliant things.it's just like: "hey , we wanna be metal, we wanna be a important part of the industry".
