METALLLICA frontman James Hetfield has told Launch Radio Networks that they are starting to think about their next project. According to Hetfield, the group has been preparing for each concert in their backstage "jam room," and have started coming up with ideas for new songs. "I'm really excited to do the next record," he said. "I'm also really excited to take some time off and just not have anything on a schedule. Creatively I think things are working really good. We're feeling really good. We're in the jam room coming up with stuff. Creatively, stuff's flowing. It feels so free and open."

Hetfield said he expects METALLICA to take some time off when their tour ends in November, and then reconvene in late spring or early summer of 2005 to start working on the next album.

"Raw, old school Metallica" is dead people. Go wallow in your nostalgic misery while listening to Master of Puppets and wish for the good old days, 'cause they're gone.

Why Cliff? Why not Lars? Yeah, if Lars would have died on that bus, man, we'd still have Napster, we'd still have a good Metallica and most importantly, we'd still have Cliff. On a related note, it would have been hilarious if he died when their bus went off a cliff. Not that it's funny when people die, because it's not, well, unless it's Lars. Oh, and we'd still have Jason, or was it Kirk that left?

they havent been good for 15 years. they were good for about 5 or so years, and sucked ever since, in my book that doesnt warrant calling them a great band. nor do they reflect anything about the "metal underground", why are they being reported on this site?

32. brokenwings13 writes:

It was the fact that Cliff died. and they changed producers but that was on the black
album and Jason was with them by then.

I like all the albums, but maybe that's cause I was raised on Metallica.
And yet I'm sitting here writing to you lameass people instead of being at the show.

Please, give us some fukkin 80's thrash metal, or at least something that has nothing to do with Bob "fairy" Rock.

To all you a$$holes: It wasn't Cliff's unfortunate death that fukked up Metallica, nor was is the recruitment of Jason Newstead, is was a phone call from some retard called Bob Rock. Bob promised the Tallica boys one thing: money, and sh**loads of it. All they had to do was sh** on their legacy and the legacy of thrash metal. All they had to do was sell out and put out the piece of sh** everyone calls the black album. END OF STORY.

DAVE MUSTAINE AND MEGADETH RULE!! AND DAVE DIDN'T SELL OUT!!

Heh, yeah KMADD I also wish Flemming Rasmessun had continued to produce Metallica's work, however the problem was Flemming was a producer of un-radio friendly, hard-bangin, riff-laden, solo-shreddin' speed-thrash heavy metal!! Writing and performing metal music only makes the select few very rich. And Metallica wanted to get real rich, real fast. Bob c*** could do that for them.

I wonder who said "money is the root of all evil". Cos' they were right.

Agree with 666 and with the Napster situation Lars is a sellout fraud.
