METALLICA Guitarist Talks 'Big Four' Tour, Next Studio Album

June 12, 2010

Artisan News Service caught up with METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett at Jeff Beck's recent tribute concert to Les Paul at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York.

When asked for his thoughts on the upcoming "Big Four" dates featuring METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX, Hammett said, "Well, it's gonna be a lot of fun. It's gonna be like class reunion for all us heavy metal guys. So we're all looking forward to it — looking forward to hanging out and talking and reliving old memories and battles and all that good stuff. It'll be pretty exciting, though."

Regarding when fans can expect to hear a new album from METALLICA, Hammett said, "We don't have any immediate plans. We are more concentrating on just finishing this tour. We'll finish it in November with a bunch of shows down in Australia and then we're gonna take a short break."
