METALLICA Bassist Interviewed In Peru; Video Available

January 19, 2010

Peru's Cyloop Terra conducted an interview with METALLICA bassist Robert Trujillo prior to the band's concert at University of San Marcos Stadium in Lima earlier today (January 19). Watch the chat below.

METALLICA's concert in Lima is anticipated to be the biggest musical event ever staged in Peruvian history. More than 50,000 fans are expected to attend the show, with LivingInPeru.com reporting that fans have been lining up and camping out at the University of San Marcos stadium since Sunday (January 17). University authorities announced that all activities for Tuesday were suspended in order to make the concert run more smoothly, with gates at the venue slated to open at around noon.

The show is the first of a South American tour that will bring METALLICA to Panama, Costa Rica, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and several other countries.

Following that run, the quartet will head to Europe for dates throughout the spring and summer.

METALLICA has a practice room in which it warms up before every show, and frontman James Hetfield told The Pulse of Radio that new material often comes out of those jams. "When we do a gig, we go into our, what we call our tuning room, and we go in and knock the rust off, and usually someone's got a little riff, and we just kind of go off on that," he said. "All that stuff gets recorded. All of [2008 album] 'Death Magnetic' was recorded on the 'St. Anger' tour, really — a lot of the riffs. So the next album will be a lot of the 'Death Magnetic' tour riffs."

METALLICA took more than a year to record "Death Magnetic", which came out five and a half years after 2003's controversial "St. Anger".

There's no word yet on whether METALLICA plans to play any North American shows in 2010.
