A behind the scenes look at the inner working of the world’s greatest metal band.

James leads the band’s live shows according to Gojira’s Joe Duplantier, who has toured with Metallica.

‘You can’t tell our fans that we paid [then-new Metallica bassist] Rob Trujillo a million bucks.’ ‘We can’t show Lars auctioning off his art. They’re not gonna understand.’ ‘We can’t show this. We can’t do this.’

“He was hazed to the point where I think it blew because he’d had enough of something,” says Towle.

Drummer Lars Ulrich says the band have been writing during the pandemic, but the going is slow.

Does anyone else actually believe this?

Photos of the drummer as a 14-month-old in his native Denmark.

Also includes Slipknot, Judas Priest, Nightwish, and more.

Simply put: he doesn’t. “I basically don’t read any of the interviews that the other guys do.”

Metallica fans as tie-dye-wearing, lazily swaying hippies??

He also shed some light on the current relationship between the band members, which he says isn’t the same “gang mentality” as in the early years.

“Being a rock and roll band and working virtually is not super easy.”

Ian was hanging with the band the very day they sent Mustaine packing.

It’s not a metal musician. SCANDALOUS!!!

It’s a deeper cut from an older record.

Nominees include John Bonham, Neil Peart, Phill Rudd, and more.

The drummer says he isn’t comfortable following in the footsteps of Mötley Crüe and Queen.

“How can you be that lonely with 16,000 people [in the audience]?” wonders Lars Ulrich.

The band are looking to isolate in a “bubble” soon to jam on some new ideas they’ve been working on over the internet.
