Dave Mustainen arvio Metallican ”Hardwired… To Self-Destruct” -albumista luettavissa
Metallicassa yhtyeen alkuaikoina vaikuttanut Megadeth-nokkamies Dave Mustaine kertoi hiljattan TeamRockille ajatuksiaan yhtyeen uudesta ”Hardwired… To Self-Destruct” -albumista. Voit lukea tästä Mustainen arvion Metallican tuoreesta levystä:
”I’ve always been able to appreciate the talent in Metallica. Every band has its strengths and its weaknesses. Personally, from everything I’ve heard so far, I think the new album is a good one.”
”I hear that a lot of people have been making comments about Kirk Hammett and Rob Trujillo not writing anything on it. But sometimes that’s just unavoidable. I guess I would’ve loved more writing from both those guys, because I loved [Rob Trujillo’s former bands] Infectious Grooves and Suicidal Tendencies and I always loved the lines Kirk wrote with Exodus, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles when you’re in the studio. The best songs make the cut. Everyone wants to pick the best things.”
Mustaine kertoi myös jälleen haaveilevansa uusista ”Big Four” -keikoista Slayerin ja Anthraxin kanssa:
”To have all of the Big Four releasing great new records within 12 months or so, that’s really cool. Now the big question is whether or not the powers-that-be are gonna allow for the four of us to go and do some more Big Four dates. We’ve got a lot of great stuff going on and we’ve got some stuff we’re setting up for Asia and the United States for next year, but if Big Four stuff presented itself we’d probably yield to that because it’s a lot more fun and it’s such an event that it takes precedence over just another tour, so to speak. When fans get to have four of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time on the same stage, that’s something you can tell your grandkids about.”
