steveo21 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Metallica has drafted Rick Rubin to produce its next studio album, work on which is underway at the band's California headquarters. In a post on its official Web site, the band confirms Rubin "has been coming by the studio every now and again to listen to some of our new stuff and throw his two/three cents in." "We have been jamming, writing, just plain messing around and having fun in the studio for the last few weeks," the post continues. Photos show band members with instruments in hand, as well as drummer Lars Ulrich with a lyric sheet held just far enough back from the camera so as to not reveal key details. There's no timetable yet for the release of the as-yet-untitled album, which will be the follow-up to 2003's "St. Anger." As previously reported, Metallica has also committed to a run of shows in South Africa next month as well as a handful of summer festival appearances in Europe. As for Rubin, the news comes on the heels of confirmation that he will produce the next Warner Bros. album from multi-platinum rock act Linkin Park, which is expected before the end of the year.

ntotoro Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Ahh... so instead of a 100% chance that it'll suck, now there's only a 99.9999999% chance. Good to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81+83+84=Posse Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Who plays Bass for them now, Didn't they dump that joker from Suicidal Tendencies Nope, still Robert Trujillo. Funny story, I met Jason Newsted at the 2003 Ozzfest when Voivod was there and my buddy and I asked him what he thought about St. Anger. He said it was a "total pile of s***." Anyways, I'm won't be excited about any Metallica album to come out until they prove they can do something quality again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Cool. Another ******* commercialized album for old Metallica fans to mock. Just go away guys. Seriously. Come back in 10 years on a "reunion tour" or some other lame event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 :laugh: I got a producer for them his name is "Jack Daniels". Y'know you're right- Maybe of those ****s would get liqoured up, James would stop wearing his professor glasses and Lars would spend time playing instead of adding to his art collection. I guess they don't have to piss and moan about people downloading their albums anymore, nobody wants that garbage- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themurf Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Metallica stopped being relevant when they stopped putting out quality albums and started recording documentaries with their shrink. Oh, and Lars has always sucked donkey nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 This news has been out for a while, but unless you vist their website regularly you probably wouldn't have gotten wind of it. I really didn't think St. Anger was that bad of an album. Is it up there with the Cliff era? Not at all, but it was a step in the right direction. If they had made an effort to actually "produce" the album, instead of deliberately trying to make it sound NOT produced. They could have really had something. I did like the energy on the album, it was more aggressive than anything they had put out since "justice." One glaringly bad idea was making Lars snare sound like a trash can. The DVD recording with Rob actually playing bass does sound better than the CD, IMO. Hopefully, with the same kind of energy, and a good producer (Rubin definately is that) this one will be a great album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 this is OLD news :doh: I wont even get into how disrespectful you guys are being of musical gods. All Hail Metallica. :allhail: i agree........and no offense, but they haven't made a good album since you were born.:doh: as for the haters, i suggest you do a little more research on rubin, he has turned many has beens and never would have beens into successful bands. he has a hell of a record, that's why this is a big deal. no album he has ever worked on sucked, especially compared to what he had to work with. red hot chili peppers were nothings until rubin came along and gave them a hand. as horribly ****ty as st. anger was, we have all heard what they are capable of, and that is greatness. i was excited at the news they brought in rubin, and you will all eat your words when this album comes out.

Be honest, the band is a shell of its former self. Last we saw of Metallica, James was busy seeing a shrink and was in and out of rehab, and Lars was consumed with people who download music. They were focused on everything but good music. The band changed so much that Jason, who went from Metallica's biggest fan to a member of the band, left on his own. That would be like hooking up with everyone's dream girl, Angelina Jolie, only to watch her let it go and you end up breaking up with her. That speaks volumes about how far the band slipped.

GoCommiesGo Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 St. Anger was a **** album. Go back and listen to Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets to hear what good Metallica sounds like. I have no doubt that this will be a better produced piece of trash that people who have no idea what real metal sounds like will flock to because the sleeve says Metallica.

skinsfanevan Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 yes Metallica isnt what it used to be but is there potential? of course if kirk is given some freedom (unlike st anger which revolved around james pretty much) they will make amazing music Was St Anger ****? No it wasnt. I didnt like it, but some people im sure love it. If it wasnt Metallica would it really be that bad? Dont compare their music to their best stuff. Not to mention there wasnt really a true bassist for the st anger recordings, it was ****ing bob rock, who is apparently bitter over not getting invited into the band and maybe theres traces of that by them not using him for this cd. the new cd wont be black album it wont be justice, it wont be lighting. But it will be something you havent heard before, and hopefully, if you're open minded enough it will blow you away. Im sorry metallica doesnt make the kind of music that you love anymore, but im also sorry brunell cant quite run like he used to. get over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OaktonSkins/BushFan Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm fully expecting this to be their worst album yet. What a shame. How can such a once GREAT band decline to such depths? Virtually everything after And Justice for All is a sad joke. These guys literally went from kicking everyone's ass to "jumping the shark" within just about a two year period. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
