Metallica's New Album Delay Explained
. (TeamRock Radio) Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo admits the band have become "lax" in their approach to songwriting in recent years. But although their interest in other projects mean it's taken time to focus on the follow-up to 2008 album Death Magnetic, he believes it's worth keeping fans waiting rather than rely on contributions from third parties. Trujillo tells the No Treble Podcast: "The members of Metallica enjoy being creative. As they get a bit older and deeper in their careers, they get a little bit lax in terms of wanting to write songs. "You'd be surprises how many known bands start writing with outside writers and stuff like that, and aren't actually writing their songs any more. With us it's the opposite - we've got so many song ideas, riffs, bass lines, whatever, that the hardest thing is trying to eliminate." He describes the material as in the process of being "nurtured," adding: "It's pride; you're working on an art piece. It's got to be right, and what does that mean? Exploring. "James Hetfield always has a handful of words for one possible word. Maybe this word doesn't work out; let's try these. It's a lot of work and it's time-consuming. But at the same time it's important. It needs to be done that way." Read more and stream the full interview here. TeamRock Radio is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
