METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich told a New York radio program on Friday night (March 2) that the band will lay down 14 songs for its ninth studio album, which the group will begin recording next Monday (March 12) in San Francisco. Ulrich said on the "Friday Night Rocks" show, "We started out about six months ago with about 25 songs and now we've narrowed those down to 14, and we're gonna start recording 14 songs next Monday. So we're all pretty stoked."
Unlike the troubled, turbulent sessions for the band's last album, 2003's "St. Anger", Ulrich told Launch that pre-production for the new effort has had a whole different vibe. "It's frighteningly tame (laughs)," he said. "The four of us show up and we hang out and we have a great time, and there are no psychiatrists in sweaters, there are no film crews, it's very much like it used to be. It's pretty mellow around here. All that 'St. Anger' stuff seems like a movie (laughs)."
