Metallica - European Vacation '08 (deel 7)

quote:

Metallica geeft ter gelegenheid van hun nieuwe album ‘Death Magnetic’ dat op 12 september uitkomt twee grote arena concerten in de O2 in Berlijn en in Londen.



O2 Berlijn en Londen

Het eerste concert vindt plaats in O2 World in Berlijn op 12 september. Metallica opent daarmee tevens de nieuwste O2 concertzaal die op die avond voor het eerst is geopend voor publiek. De O2 zaal biedt plaats aan 17.000 Metallica fans. Op 15 september geeft de band hun tweede concert voor 20.000 fans in de O2 Arena in Londen.



Retro ticket prijzen

De tickets voor de shows zullen vanaf eind deze week verkrijgbaar zijn voor mensen die zijn ingeschreven via Metallica’s website www.missionmetallica.com. Omdat Metallica met deze concerten viert dat hun negende studio-album uit is hebben ze de prijzen ouderwets laag gehouden. Voor een ticket in Berlijn betaal je 10 euro en voor een ticket in Londen 5 pond. De opbrengst van het concert gaat naar lokale goede doelen.



Nieuwe single: ‘The Day That Never Comes’

Aanstaande donderdag 21 augustus gaat de eerste single van ‘Death Magnetic’: ‘The Day That Never Comes’ in première op 3FM bij Eric Corton in 3voor12 Radio tussen 22.00u en 01.00u. De single die ruim 8 minuten duurt zal Corton in zijn volle lengte ten gehore brengen op de radio.

Ik heb dan wel een platinum code op Mission Metallica, maar ik heb helaas niemand die met me mee wilt gaan naar Berlijn. Erg jammer, had er graag heen gewild!

And here's some more, this time Lars (same Mag):

About the criticism on St. Anger:
"I can understand it, the more I distance myself from that album the harder I find to listen to it" and "St. Anger comes from a very difficult time. If we had continued in the old direction we would have never gotten away from it"

Next, some stuff about Rubin. A lot on how he's not a musician but more of a "feel" person. He just likes good music.

DM:
There were a total of 14 songs recorded, 11 of them were mixed. The working title of the song that didn't make it on the album is "Shine". Like the Presidio stuff it will surface at a certain time.

About Unforgiven III:
"Musically it feels like the nephew of the first two. It's kind of an Unforgiven in Dyers Eve style."

"Most of the songs on DM have no harmony vocals giving James' vocals more character."

About his (James') lyrics:
"It took me a while before I new what they were about. They are so different. They're almost poëtic. They deal about Death, suicide, resentment, forgiveness, pain, frustration..all things that can be wrong whitin people..."

Metal Mike (Aardschok) then asks :
Knowing that James has written all the lyrics, and seeing the songtitles I begin to wonder if he might me suicidal..?
Lars replies: "A good question, because I was seriously shocked when I read his lyrics for the first time. The vibe in the band nowadays is very positive but it is clear thet there still is a hurricane going on in James's head. But sauicidal? .. Let's just say, I hope not"

A bit more interesting comments on St. Anger:
"There are a few good songs on that album, but people haven't been able to recognise them because the album sounds so Not-Metallica. The album was almost entirely put together on the computer, wich killed a lot of the good songs. But it's OK now, I'm in peace with it.
At the Bridge school Benefit we did an all acoustic, newly arranged rendition of "All Within My Hands" which I think sounded really awesome."

About TNS and TONS:
Only a piece of "The New Song" found it's way into "All Nightmare Long". The intro of "The New Song" has been used for "The End of the Line". (Nothing of TONS has been used)

About the logo and Artwork:
"We hired a design company that has never before worked on anything that had to do with music, and I'm very pleased about the cover art, and especially the booklet. Some parts have to be hand-cutted in the production process. That is what you get from working together with a company that thinks "outside the box".
"The return to the old logo fitted best with the whole vibe on the album."
