METALLICA Drummer Lars Ulrich - Death Magnetic "Sounds Fuckin’ Smokin'"
September 29, 2008, 15 years ago
According to NME.com, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has rejected fans' claims that their new album Death Magnetic is too loud, and that the version available via the 'Guitar Hero' video game is superior.
Thousands of fans have taken to the internet to complain, but Ulrich - the first member of Metallica to speak publicly on the issue - disagrees.
“Listen, there’s nothing up with the audio quality," he said. "It’s 2008, and that’s how we make records."
Speaking to Blender, Ulrich added: "(Producer) Rick Rubin’s whole thing is to try and get it to sound lively, to get it sound loud, to get it to sound exciting, to get it to jump out of the speakers. Of course, I’ve heard that there are a few people complaining. But I’ve been listening to it the last couple of days in my car, and it sounds fuckin’ smokin'."
