Metallica To Play New Songs On Upcoming Tour

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has commented on the band's headlining appearance at this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals, which will happen, as usual, in England over the August Bank holiday weekend — from Friday, August 22 to Sunday, August 24.

"Alongside the hallowed turf of Castle Donington there is no place in the UK that is more historic or more of an honor for Metallica to play than at Reading," Ulrich told Kerrang! magazine. "Back in the day when I was first tripping on music, I'd look at the line-up and see bands like Iron Maiden, UFO and Whitesnake headlining, so for us to be asked to come back yet again and stand at the top of the pile so to speak is an absolutely tremendous gift from the organisers. It's just such an absolutely incredible thing to be a part of.

"I remember playing the festival back in '03 and getting the chance to close down Reading, and that was such a massive feeling to carry around," he added. "The fact that they've asked us to come back and do the same thing again is absolutely huge in my eyes. We headlined Wembley last year, did Download the year before, and so playing Reading and Leeds just seemed like the obvious thing to do. In my eyes it's still one of the biggest and most monumental music festivals in the world, and with bands like Slipknot and Rage Against The Machine playing I'm sure it's going to be one of the best line-ups that people have seen in quite a while."

Ulrich said fans can expect to hear some new material from their forthcoming ninth studio album.

"We're psyched to play some new songs," he laughed. "In fact, if we don't, then I give people permission to come and find me and slap me across the face! We're certainly planning on rolling out some of the new songs for the first time, but right now our focus is on finishing the record. As soon as that's out of the way, we'll be hitting the rehearsal room and getting to grips with playing these bastards live!"

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

It would be weak of them to "roll out some of the new songs for the first time" at Reading. Their tour starts in May so they better play some new stuff then as well.

[Lensver]

And the song titles will be Another New Song and One More New Song?

[Birdy266]

Cool cant wait to here some new songs =D

[Rhyan_EG]

He said that they were going to play 3-4 new songs last year during the Sick of The Studio tour, but I have a feeling they'll actually deliver this time.

[acshadow25]

are we allowed to slap lars anyway? coz id enjoy that much more than listening to new song 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and however many more they have

[IRONMAIDENTLICA]

i hear they are releasing "the other new song that comes after the first new song but not before the third new song new song" on this tour im pumped

But for real though cant wait to hear some of the new songs hopefully they will be good

[Circle]

I'll be seeing them the at the end of may (pinkpop). hope they will play some of their new songs then.. just cant wait!

checked

[duncang]

Sweet, I'll be there

How exactly? After 1991 Metallica went downhill. They shouldn't even be classed as metal anymore. They saw an oppertunity to make big bucks and took it. Regardess of all the fans they'd throw away.

[jesus2nd]

im sorry but the line up for leeds fest is really nothing that special, yeah you've got metallica , Rage, tenacious D, and slipknot.....thats it in my eyes for decent bands

Yeah can't wait to see them again!

[metal_freak_cam]

i hope they do wembley again...not just reading and leeds, cos they are so overpriced...
they have full concerts everywhere else in Europe like last yr, and they said at wembley that they would be back in 2008, so fingers crossed for a wembley gig

[Hexagram]

I think this is Metallica's one last chance to release an album that fans deem deserving. If not, I expect to see a whole lot of pissed off Metallica fans

blahblahblahblahblah. this "metallica is shit, theyre not metal anymore" shit is beginning to bore me. Just stfu, nobody cares

[SlinkyMcdougall]

I don't know what happend to them between Kill 'em All and St.Anger... but if it ever happens to me, I'm killing myself. James went from being one of the most bad ass vocalists of all time to sounding like a Puddle of Mud reject.

im so tired of people being tired of metallica. amiright? woot. sorry im looking forward to metallica's new album and seeing youtube plays of these new songs.

[rich420]

I haven't got a Reading ticket yet, Sad but true, looks like i drew The shortest straw. i only want One ticket, even if i have to Seek & destroy some mother ****er to get my hands on it then so be it, No remorse from me, Nothing else matters to me. Wherever i may roam over the summer, i'll be at The frayed ends of sanity if i can't Escape to the festival and see them.

Thank you. Fans need to be less engrossed in their own visions of bands and realize other people have their own motivations. I will admit I am not a fan of St. Anger and the post-Black Album stuff was quite a change from the precedent, but sometimes that change is necessary. Artists need to grow and explore. It's always interesting to see who understands and encourages growth, and who selfishly bitches about change. I am looking forward to a return to the 80's style and am very sad to say I will probably not get the chance to see them live. Whether the new stuff is good or not, I will always love Metallica. Who couldn't love the minds behind the Master of Puppets album?

[AngerIsAGift06]

FUCKING YES ILL SEE YOU AT READING

[Mihyaeru]

haha quite weird that while reading this St Anger suddnely started to palyo n me computer :P Why is there ALWAYS someone who has to bash a band in these forums, if you don't like the band eithever or anymore why on earth do you bother reading the article...are oyu THAT bored with your life you ave to read about bands you dont evne like?? do something worthwhile with your life and leave people to enjoy what they enjoy

BTW looking forward ot this album now hehe and gutted Leeds fest sold out already!!

[captainperoxide]

jesus people, they tried a new direction with the last album and it didn't go down so well. big f u c k i n g deal, at least they tried something new.
and the recent interview I read with james and lars said they were returning to their pre-st anger style of songs. just give them a break, they tried something new and it wasn't brilliant. so what? you're going to write them off because they released one mediocre album?

They wanted to write simple songs. They looked back at 'Justice' and said they were out of control; they wanted simple songs and guidance. Thus came the Black Album.

They didn't "sell out;" simple songs have always been more commercial, and that just happens to be how it came out. They changed their style, not their focus on music.

[silent caution]

so somone will camera phone it then put it on youtube...cool

[sneaky11]

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

1. Drums- In St. Anger, Lars took the snare off of his drum and it basically sounded like he was hitting trash cans. Thankfully, for the new album, he has put the snare back on.

2. Tuning- In St. Anger, Metallica used a drop-C tuning which basically makes every note lower and though I applaud Metallica for trying new things, it just ended up not sounding good. But on the new album, they will be back to the traditional E tuning so, along with the drums, it will automatically sound better than St. Anger.

3. Rick Rubin- He is once again working with Metallica on their new album and his idea is to use the Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets albums as reference points when making this new album. So, this new album should sound more like the traditional 80's style Metallica that we've all grown to love.

4. Guitar Solos- This is probably the biggest upgrade over St. Anger. In St. Anger, there were no guitar solos!!!!! How absurd is that? What is the point of having the god, the legend of a guitarist, Kirk Hammett, in your band if you aren't going to let him solo. But, not to worry, in the new album THERE WILL BE GUITAR SOLOS!!!!!

Summary- So, with the addition of good sounding drums, good tuning, 80's style (hopefully), and guitar solos, this album will automatically be good and may be the best Metallica album since the Black Album.

They let him solo, just everyone agreed that a guitar solo isn't a given for every song they ever write.

Still trying to get tickets to Reading. I'll probably have to sell both my Weeping Demon wahs to afford the tickets =p. If anyone in the UK wants to buy one, PM me!

Can't wait for the new album though. Getting slightly worried it might turn into another Chinese Democracy.

[metalifan]

Heard two of their new songs already and both are fantastic!
Old school Metallica re-born!

Dude I cant believe you just used the same exact paragraph that you used the last time you commented on a metallica article that was about there new album. Did you save this document? Or did you copy it from some other guy who actually posted it last time? lol

You're a strange cat, but your words are true. It should be a great album but who knows if it will be....

anyways, why do people who 'hate the sellout heathans metallica' read these articles and then post about how they hate them? obviously too much time on their hands so maybe they could just drink some varsol or something.

[metalb0y]

St. Anger was released in 2003... It's 2008 at the moment, how can it take you so long to get over it? You just tryin to fit in, so what if you didn't like it, no one cares. If you don't like it then don't listen to it. It's that simple. Metallica doesn't need fans like you

btw, new album's coming out mid-fall time, if i remember correctly.

[bls4life8]

maybe a damn american tour
last 4 years they have toured ****in europe
time to play for the american fans

[ViperScale]

metallica needs to kick Lars out because he is retarded... I think he is the main reason the band has been hurting. St Anger would not have sux'd half as bad as it did if it wasn't for the totally crappy drums. I don't know what Lars problem is he was ok in the early albums but has been going down hill sense then. That and he was the reason they stopped doing instrumentals.

[euan_soad]

Ulrich said fans can expect to hear some new material from their forthcoming ninth studio album.

"We're psyched to play some new songs," he laughed. "In fact, if we don't, then I give people permission to come and find me and slap me across the face!"

If the new songs are as shit as St Anger, he's still going to get slapped!

[SeeMeNoMore]

wonder if they'll play any of these songs at bonnaroo?

Exactly Jawshuwa, I couldn't have said it better myself. Musicians evolve and so does their music. I bet most of the people that complain that they "Sold Out" would be complaining now that all their music sounds the same over the last 25 years now if they didn't change things up.

Uhh... no. The reason they don't do instrumentals any more is because Cliff was the main creative force behind those songs (ie Call of the Ktulu and Orion). It's not particularly helpful that said songs contain some impressive bass solos whilst Rob Trujillo is a seriously mediocre bassist. His idea of a solo is mass distortion and wah coupled with some slaps on the low E string. Point being- if Cliff hadn't died:

1) Metallica would still write instrumentals
2) They would have kept producing albums like Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets.

There might be an instrumental on the new record, from what I've heard.
And we might hear new music soon. The Tuscon show is in what?...45 days? We will see soon.

I wouldn't hope for much. Given the composing skill that Cliff possesed I can't really expect somethng that blows my mind anymore. I didn't really like Justice that much; it just wasn't what I expected after hearing Ride the Lightning and MoP

wouldnt say alexi is a newcomer bodom has been around for quite a while now, not as long as metallica though ill give you that.

No one cares anymore.

Please remember Metallica doesn't give a crap what you think. They make music they enjoy, not specifically for you.

How exactly? After 1991 Metallica went downhill. They shouldn't even be classed as metal anymore. They saw an oppertunity to make big bucks and took it. Regardess of all the fans they'd throw away.

They did make big bucks on the black album, but you can't say that album wasn't metal.

Everything after that wasn't exactly big bucks dude.

holy shit man you should write opinion articles on music ive never heard that view from anyone ever before! ****ing brilliant!

anyways, why do people who 'hate the sellout heathans metallica' read these articles and then post about how they hate them? obviously too much time on their hands so maybe they could just drink some varsol or something.

well never did i say that i hate them. I am just tired of hearing everyone sucking their dicks for making mediocre records. They don't suck but they are pretty boring. And yes i have so much time on my hands, because it took me so long to write my sentence earlier. yes my day is so open between my full class class load at college and working 40 hours a week. oh my...i have so much time to hate.

i think the fact that st anger wasnt what people were expecting has damaged their rep a bit, HOWEVER im actually really excited about their new material!

I think everyone is

I think this is Metallica's one last chance to release an album that fans deem deserving. If not, I expect to see a whole lot of pissed off Metallica fans

I couldnt agree with you more.

I just hope it doesnt sound like heavy country music

[Bunyip]

Metallica - The New Album: with their debut song The New Song.

I like it, its kinda catchy

dont EVER! EVER! EVER! do something like this again. it wasnt even funny or the least bit interesting. i suggest a slow death for u my friend. thanks

It was amusing if you're really bored and for wishing him a slow death you are clearly mentally deranged in some way.

And Load/Reload were hugely popular and sold assloads of tickets and albums, what the eff are you talkin abt?

[wolfgang102]

although, they also cant possibly write anything worse than the st anger shit.

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

1. Drums- In St. Anger, Lars took the snare off of his drum and it basically sounded like he was hitting trash cans. Thankfully, for the new album, he has put the snare back on.

2. Tuning- In St. Anger, Metallica used a drop-C tuning which basically makes every note lower and though I applaud Metallica for trying new things, it just ended up not sounding good. But on the new album, they will be back to the traditional E tuning so, along with the drums, it will automatically sound better than St. Anger.

3. Rick Rubin- He is once again working with Metallica on their new album and his idea is to use the Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets albums as reference points when making this new album. So, this new album should sound more like the traditional 80's style Metallica that we've all grown to love.

4. Guitar Solos- This is probably the biggest upgrade over St. Anger. In St. Anger, there were no guitar solos!!!!! How absurd is that? What is the point of having the god, the legend of a guitarist, Kirk Hammett, in your band if you aren't going to let him solo. But, not to worry, in the new album THERE WILL BE GUITAR SOLOS!!!!!

Summary- So, with the addition of good sounding drums, good tuning, 80's style (hopefully), and guitar solos, this album will automatically be good and may be the best Metallica album since the Black Album.

do you work for the Metallica ad agency?

if they wanted to make big bucks i doubt they'd do something to get rid of their fans, that just doesn't make sense. they had/have all the money they'll ever need, they do whatever they want

lmao that's great, lars said something like that one time

[PopPunkPotHead]

Metallica sucked ever since the Mustaine wore off

[bootyking69]

st anger would of been cool if it, had good production, cut the songs in half cuz they just repeat, lowered james vocals, or just have never came out at all

[skindred]

i love how people judge metallica mainly over st anger, are people really that naive? yes it was a bad album but how many other hands have done shite albums to come back with a blistering new album

look at machinehead, supercharger in my opinion was poor, they got slated for that, now listen to the blackening, amazing.

remember that rick rubin is producing this, and the main talk is this is gonna be back to the old school, the master of puppets days, and thats a good thing!

[Nothingness666]

The new Metallica stuff is absolute rubbish... I'm a huge fan of And justice for all but the videos of the new songs posted on Youtube sound more like a bad punk/metal mix... So uncreative. They really should stop. Or is it even too late?!

[trashbeast]

If you think about it, metallica would be selling out if they DID go back to their 80's roots. that would be giving in to the pressure of what all the fans want..

think about what you guys are doing to them :P

ive heard its what should have come between justice and self titled. ive heard its meant to be a bit more progressive. apparently long songs with big solos and stuff.

I'm pretty sure that's just Lars.

Can't wait for the new album!

[MetallicaFan333]

Dude, I wish I had some plane tickets, or even enough money to buy them, then to see Metallica, which would be a bitch to pay for... Jesus Christ... Nothing goes the way I plan it too... Damn... Why can't they play in the good ol' USA? Not good enough for the Bayside-Thrashers? Damn. Anyways, if they were to play anywhere in the US, I'd f*cking walk there to see them... ANYWHERE!!! (Do you hear that James? ANYWHERE!!!) But, yeah, I wish I could see them live so bad... Because, I'll be honest, I can feel a farewell tour or album coming on and I don't like it one bit... they're getting up there in years, they're getting pissed off, and they're getting a little unorganized in what they want to do... I mean, look at Load, then look at Master of Puppets, two completely different sounds... I mean, it's METALlica, not SUCKallica!!! Damn...

I hope they actually do good on this album, they need to make a comeback to the Thrash/Metal scene... Teach all these Nu-metal/alternative/emo f*cks a lesson... So, yeah... Later...
