Excerpts from a recent Metallica interview:
"This time around we've each brought in ideas as we used to - as well as working on some jams we had from two summers ago - and James and I are sorting through our CDs of riffs to put together stuff back as we did in the day."
"The new stuff is much more organic, more old school. It certainly doesn't feel like 'St.Anger' Part Two"
"Six or seven songs are nearly compete, although they don't have the vocals sorted out yet."
"The album is due for release in early 2007."
<In reference to St. Anger>
"It was really important to make that record in the way we did...proving to ourselves that we still had the spark...'St.Anger' was fun but we don't need to make that album again."
<In reference to Bob Rock>
"We had great fun with Bob...but it seemed that after 15 years it was time to try some different things and get a different perspective. As you get older you get set in your ways and get very ****ing spoilt. It was important for us not to get stuck. Rick [Rubin] makes you think about everything - he sees the big picture and has big ideas. It's working out great. We're excited hearing this **** come together!"
