Slipknotin Corey Taylor haastatteli Metallicaa radio-ohjelmaa varten – kuuntele keskustelu
Slipknotin ja Stone Sourin vokalisti Corey Taylor haastatteli marraskuun 11. päivä Metallicaa ja keskusteli bändin kanssa uusimmasta ”Hardwired…To Self-Destruct” -albumista. Metallican tiloissa järjestetty haastattelu lähetettiin aluksi Yhdysvaltojen eri radioasemilla, mutta nyt tuo haastattelu on ladattu SoundCloudiin kaikkien kuunneltavaksi.
Corey Taylor kommentoi yksinäisyyden tunnetta ja eristäytymisen vivahdetta, jonka kuulee ”Atlas, Rise!” -kappaleessa. Hän kysyi samaistuuko Metallica yksinäisyyteen. Rumpali Lars Ulrich vastasi:
”For me, that will never change. Especially with the generation… whether it’s the DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH and LED ZEPPELIN generation, or whether it’s the IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, MOTÖRHEAD, SAXON, and fill in all the rest of ’em, I’ll always be… forever we’ll always be a fan of those generations, because it was what we grew up with, it was what made us who we are, it’s in our DNA. So I’ll always be a fan of that stuff and music in general. I don’t think, for me… Thirty-five years later, no matter what METALLICA has become or any of that, that hasn’t changed.”
Kitaristi Kirk Hammet kommentoi:
”For me, I’m still a fan of that same period that Lars just talked about — the ’70 and early ’80s — and for me, I’ve been so influenced and so inspired by the music that was back then. And now, as a working musician for 35 years, 40 years or so, that period of music has become a point of reference for me too. When I need some inspiration or some influence or just even information, I go that time period and I feel like a fan.”
Laulaja James Hetfield kertoi:
”Corey, I like what you said about the ’loner’ thing. And there’s a part of me that loves being a loner — just loves it, and craves it — and that whole lone-wolf attitude, it’s just… it’s so… I don’t know… it’s comforting. But then the other side of that is I’ve got the weight of the world on me, I have to do everything myself and I’m a martyr now and then I become a victim and all of this crap. So you’re right when you say that loner part and the responsilibity around it too. I think that’s kind of… you summed the song up.”
Corey Taylor mainitsi ”Master Of Puppets” -albumin tärkeimmäksi heavy metal -levyksi, joka on koskaan tehty.
”The first time I heard ’Master Of Puppets’, it honestly changed my life. ”’Master Of Puppets’, to me, is the greatest modern heavy metal album ever made. Pound for pound, songwise, musically, sonically, production — it’s just fantastic. ”I know dudes who will fight me over that stuff because we’re so nerdy on it. But to me, that is the template for every great heavy metal album.”
