Lars Ulrich: ”Yhteistyömme Lady Gagan kanssa oli liian hyvä jäädäkseen yhteen kertaan”

Uutisoimme taannoin sivustollamme Lady Gagan sekä Metallican yhteistyöstä Grammy-gaalassa ”Moth Into Flame” -kappaleen esittämisen muodossa. Yhteistyö tuntui sujuvan varsin mutkattomasti ja nyt Lars Ulrich on tuoreessa The A.V. Clubin haastattelussa todennut yhtyeen olevan ehdottomasti avoin tekemään yhteistyötä Gagan kanssa myös tulevaisuudessa. Lars kertoi aiheesta seuraavaa:

”Listen, I knew this was going to work. I mean, Gaga is a metal chick at heart. There was no way this was not going to work. It was totally in her DNA. It was totally in her wheelhouse. This was not not going to work. The only question was at what level it was going to work.”

”We did one run-through. The way her and James’s [Hetfield, METALLICA frontman] voices worked, it jelled so well together we all kind of stood there like, ’Huh?’ It was really fucking next-level. I think we rehearsed it twice, maybe three times on Friday night. And it was just dialed. There was no sort of, ’Oh, my god, what are we doing here?’ This was as natural and organic as you could imagine this type of stuff being. This was a home run from the get-go.”

”As you spend 72 hours with somebody, and there’s this connection and this intimacy, part of it is that maybe you don’t want it to end,” Ulrich explained. ”When these moments work, you always leave them open to reconnection. So obviously, we’re not sitting in a recording studio today writing songs for a record or anything. I think that our weekend together was so seamless and so authentic and such a natural fit that the idea of revisiting this at some point down the road… As we were walking off one of the soundchecks, she said to me, ’We gotta do something again together. This is just too good to leave.’ And I said, ’I agree with you. It’s just too real.'”

”Obviously, we haven’t sat around and talked about this yet. But if there was ever an opportunity to revisit something like this, this is about as pure as it could get. So we’ll see.”
