Metallica's James Hetfield Favorite Song From New Album

Hetfield Explains

James Hetfield was recently interviewed by Deezer (Video Down Below) about the new album and the new songs . They ask him about the all lot of questions and one of them was "Whats your favorite track of the new album?" He replied  :

 "It's really difficult because I love them all and they're still fresh for me. When I think, 'That's my favorite,' it's, 'Oh, now the video has actually made this my favorite!'

"I'm blessed that I like them all, but I think 'Dream No More' is one of my favorites - just heavy! And scary. 'The Thing That Should Not Be' you know, that department."

During the rest of the chat, Het explained just how important it is for the boys to keep creating new material, saying:

"To make new music is very important for us. It's easy to go and just play the songs that people enjoy or become a nostalgia act, but for us, we're artists and that would be a major part of us dying."

James was asked a lot of cool questions that you see in this interview :

Know we learn from Metal Hammer that the band has hires the company behind Cirque du Soleil to manage the production on their upcoming live shows . M.Shadows tells Metal Hammer: "

"The production that's being built is different for us, different for anyone I've ever seen, the people we've hired don't do tours, they do Cirque du Soleil. "

"This is gonna be drawn out into different types of touring, we're not going on tour for six months, it'll be two weeks on, two weeks off.

"It'll be a longer cycle but we're gonna roll with the punches.We're an oddball."

"A lot of bands live, breathe and die the 2016 metal scene, but we just live in our own world and try to do things different than everyone else.

"I don't ever feel like we fit in. We're going to be whatever we feel is right, and if it changes the industry, then great."

RHCP's Klinghoffer Filming Crowed Instead Of Playing Solo

I Believe He Has Right

This incident happened in Torino , Italy on October 11 in the bands concert there. It seems like the guitarist Josh Klinghoffer got upset of the crowed's heavy camera using and as a reaction we pulled out his phone and start filming the crowed instead of playing the solo for Californication .

A fan who saw the Chili Peppers recently noted via Reddit:

"I was at the London show on Monday, two rows from the barrier on the right side of the arena... and the crowd were horrific.

"People literally filming every song, hardly anyone jumping or dancing out... And tbh, most of the people near me were actually there to see Babymetal by the looks of it."

"The biggest cheer RHCP got was went Anthony took his shirt off for fuck sake, and it's such a shame because the band played so fucking well and pulled out exciting shit like 'Higher Ground' and 'Right on Time.' Keep in mind I couldn't really see what was going on behind me, but it looked like there was more movement from the seated areas than the floor during 'Give It Away' as well."

Metal Hammer's Album Of The Year Is...

Metal Hammer magazine names Magma by Gojira as the best album of 2016.

The Metal Hammer magazine named Gojira's Magma album of the year 2016. Gojira's Magma sixth  sixth album was released in June and was quickly hailed by Metal Hammer readers as their favourite album of the year so far.Now Metal Hammer staff have agreed and made it official by naming Magma Album Of The Year in the new issue of the magazine. Gojira's frontman Joe Duplantier said about that :

"We always take the hard path. We could’ve done this record with a big-name producer, spent three weeks recording and that’s it."


"But instead we spent almost three years bleeding and sweating over this thing, building our own studio and producing ourselves."

"So all the choices and decisions we made on this record made it a potential disaster, ha ha! But instead it became this special, special thing. So to be Metal Hammer’s album of the year really means a lot.”

Well played Gojira your album was really special and I hope the new year to be even better for you. I would like to thank The Metal Hammer magazine for sharring this info!

Avenged Sevenfold : The Reason We Fired Arin Ilejay

Once the "honeymoon period" was over, the band realized the drummer was simply not a good fit, singer M. Shadows explains.  

A7x With Arin Ilejay

  M. Shadows talked about the reason why Arin Ilejay was fired from the band in That's Not Metal Podcast . He said that :

"Arin got more and more distanced as time went on.

"It's kind of like everyone goes through their honeymoon period and it's all great, but then you start realizing that we're four guys that have a way we do things and then there's someone else that just doesn't really fit into that at all.

"And as nice of a guy as he is, there were just a bunch of things that didn't represent us at all, and you can't have that, especially when we've worked for so long and so hard at what we do. And the last thing we care about is our public perception of what we should do with our lives.

"So I went to the guys and said, 'We've gotta do something.' I'm, like, 'We've gotta ask Brooks Wackerman if he wants to join the band.' And it's funny, 'cause we've known Brooks forever, and it just seemed like such a bold move, only because he's in a band.

"And I play golf with the guys in Bad Religion. It just seemed bizarre, but it just happened that he was at that point in his life too where he wanted something different. So it all just worked out. But at the same time, I can see how, from the outside, everyone was [forming] their opinions on what we were doing."

As for the new drummer, Shadows added: "Brooks is older than us. We respect him, and we wouldn't have made this change unless we knew it was the right decision.

M.Shadows

"We spent a long time, and, for whatever it is, we took heat from people that don't know anything about the situation, like, 'Oh, changing drummers again,' 'Oh, they're doing this,' and from the outside, we knew that was gonna be an issue. But on the inside, we were just making the necessary adjustments that we knew were gonna get us to this point to where we can put out something we're proud of, a guy that we can throw ideas at, and he can throw ideas at us, and we respect each other.

"He's a smart guy, he's a great guy to be around, and he's just a fantastic drummer. So, for us, we knew we were gonna take heat for the last couple of years with all these changes we were doing. But I think we've proved that we were doing all of our due diligence behind the scenes.

"We were making sure that everything, from taking our time writing the record to staying off the road to getting Brooks a year and a half ago... Obviously, we had to announce that earlier than we wanted to, because out of respect for Bad Religion - they needed to move on, and it would have been obvious what's going on - and out of respect for Arin, because Arin needed to move on."

New Firewind Album

Gus G And The Officialy Firewind Page Posted

In case you didn't know Firewind is Greek power metal band that consist

Gus G. - Guitar , Henning Basse - Vocals , Petros Christo - Bass ,  Bob Katsionis - Keyboards/Live Guitar ,  Jo Nunez - Drums .In case you didn't knew it Gus G. is the Ozzy Osbourne guitarist after Zakk Wylde. So now the band have announce the release of their upcoming 8th studio album, ”Immortals”, which will be released on January 20th, 2017 via the band’s longtime label partner Century Media Records in Europe & AFM Records in North America. Gus G. commented on the new album on 17 November :

“Today we're very happy to reveal the cover artwork for our 8th studio album. It's titled "Immortals" and it's the first concept album FIREWIND has ever made. Since we're from Greece, we thought it would be a cool idea to make a concept of Greek history and heritage. So, on this album we focused on the legendary battles of Thermopylae and Salamis during the 2nd Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BC. The artwork was once again created by our longtime collaborator, Gustavo Sazes and we feel it reflects the vibe we tried to capture on this album - Epic, Powerful, Glorious, Everlasting.”

“Immortals” marks the first time FIREWIND used an outside co-producer, working with Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Pink Cream 69), who not only engineered, mixed and mastered the album, but also co-wrote it together with Gus G.

The band also revealed the tracklist for the new album.

Immortals Tracklist

1. Hands Of Time
2. We Defy
3. Ode To Leonidas
4. Back On The Throne
5. Live And Die By The Sword

Mastodon's Troy Sanders : New Album Is In The Bag

7th Album Is Ready To Go

One month ago we have been told by Mastodon that they are going back to Atlanta after their tour to start work for their new album with producer Brendan O’Brien before moving to Los Angeles for the mixing stage. The Next album is going to be released in 2017 . Bassist and vocalist Sanders tells Metal Hammer:

"We've got it in the bag. We're just putting a timeline together of when and where. So that's all coming together now. So 2017's

going to be an incredibly busy and fruitful year in the world of Mastodon."

"I'm fortunate to be able to say that. I'm very excited for what the new year will bring."

Also Troy shares some information of the supergroup that he plays into with the Name Gone is Gone features the Mastodon singer and bassist, At The Drive-In drummer Tony Hajjar, Queens Of The Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen and guitarist and keyboardist Mike Zarin.

 "We've talked about it, but the thing with this band is that we're going to try to do as much as we can with the time that we have – which in reality is very slim."

"Between At The Drive-In, Mastodon and Queens Of The Stone Age, it's very rare that we're ever all home at the same time."

"We are going to do a record release show in Los Angeles on January 6, the day Echolocation comes out. So we're already talking about windows of time, and the next item on our agenda is doing a UK tour."

"So, I'm sure it'll happen, I just don't know when yet. But it would be 2017, and all four of us are very excited about making this happen, it's just about looking at our calendars collectively and saying, 'Okay, it's going to be at this place and this time'."

"So, yes, I promise you that that's actually the next thing on our to-do list, is to bring it to the UK. I would love that."

I am really impatience for their new album as long as for new Queen Of The Stone Age new album if their going to be any new album !

Ghost New Papa Emeritus IV

Ghost Getting Ready For A New Papa

 

If you follow Ghost youtube channel you should have noticed that the band has upload 3 videos of a woman talking about the future of the band . You might also know that before every album we got a new incarnation of the frontman . So now we got the Papa Emeritus IV as the woman says “Are you ready to start a new?" as the forth album is geting ready . A Nameless Ghoul have said about it :

"It’s a continuation of Meliora, but it’s sort of a response. I've used the word ‘pre-acopalyptic’ on Meliora. It's sort of the height of civilisation, and, obviously, there has to be an end to that.

"If there was an absence of a God, there might be a return of a deity, which usually comes in horrible form. So it will be a darker album."
