Metallica Return to Black Album Sound?
The next Metallica studio album will feature concise, groove-oriented songs akin to their breakthrough 1991 self-titled chart topper.
In the January 19 edition of Rolling Stone, guitarist Kirk Hammett says the album will be the logical successor to “the black album” in the same way that Death Magnetic carried on the progressive song structures of 1988’s …And Justice For All.
Hammett said, “This stuff we’re coming up with is more groove-oriented, a heavier version of what we were doing in the early ’90s.”
Drummer Lars Ulrich says the shorter, more to-the-point material is not likely to be completed this year. “If I said 2012, I’d be lying,” Ulrich said. “I hope it’s not later than 2013.”
Meanwhile, Ulrich says the band is planning a 3D movie inspired by the 1976 Led Zeppelin film The Song Remains the Same, “which is 75 percent concert, 25 percent other stuff,” but flipped in the opposite direction. “All of the non-concert footage, instead of being about the band members, is a story that unfolds, set against the backdrop of the concert.”
The film, which will be funded by Metallica, does not yet have a title, a finished script or a director. Hammett said the band were sold on the idea by their management, who promised, “that it would be a lot of fun and we would have a big-ass stage to play on – the biggest Metallica show we’ve ever done, next-level stuff.”

Bono: ‘I Think I Sound Like a Girl’
U2’s Bono had admitted that he thinks he sounds like a girl, is tired of his own voice and tries not to listen to U2 on the radio.
According to the Daily Express, Bono told TV’s Ellen DeGeneres in a new interview how he avoids listening to his band on the radio. “I do try to avoid it. If I hear our songs on the radio I tend to turn them down,” he said. “Not because I don’t like them or believe in them. Actually, my voice annoys me. I always think I could have sang it better.
“I am sort of a macho, Irish guy and particularly in those ’80s songs, I think I sound like a girl.”
