We're here in the Presidio
in San Francisco...
:07:21
and this is gonna be
the location where Metallica
:07:24
is gonna start recording
their next album.
:07:28
We decided that we didn't wanna
go back into a studio again
:07:32
and do kind of like the same thing
we had done before.
:07:36
We had to kind of change things up.
:07:39
And this is one of the things
that we talked about,
:07:42
was to go into a space
that's not a studio.
:07:45
Bring in kind of like a portable studio,
or a makeshift studio,
:07:50
and basically make
the situation uncomfortable.
:07:54
You know, don't buy new furniture,
don't paint the walls.
:07:57
Don't do anything.
Just keep it Spartan, keep it crude.
:08:02
They're such a success
that you can get comfortable.
:08:05
l don't think they
wanna be comfortable.
:08:06
- There's definitely a vibe in here.
- They've got a lot of attitude
:08:10
and I think they want it to come out
on this next album.
:08:16
How did you approach
this record differently?
:08:18
l mean, did you talk about things?
Did you have ideas, key words,
:08:21
things like that that you wanted
to put across
:08:23
before you actually started putting
the whole thing together?
:08:26
Well, ego was a big one.
Coming in here...
:08:31
and not bringing a riff, not bringing
a song, not bringing a title. Nothing.
:08:37
Me and James
did not meet somewhere else
:08:41
and come in here with material,
with songs, with music.
:08:47
This time, we all got in a room
and just started playing,
:08:51
and that's how we wrote songs.
:08:59
The idea is it should sound like...
