METALLICA Will "Not Perform Live" On Rockline
October 9, 2008, 15 years ago
As we reported yesterday here, METALLICA will be guests on the nationally syndicated radio show Rockline, with host Bob Coburn, on October 20th at 8:30 PM (PT) / 11:30 PM (ET). Rockline has contacted BraveWords.com and informs us that the band "will not be performing live, it is an interview."
Fans are encouraged to speak with Metallica by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625). For a station near you and for information regarding how to log onto the Internet for the broadcast go to RocklineRadio.com.
Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich promises that fans will hear "a lot of new songs" from Death Magnetic on the group's upcoming tour, which begins production rehearsals Monday in San Francisco and kicks off Oct. 21 in Glendale, Ariz.
"These new songs are a lot of fun to play," Ulrich told Billboard.com . "Traditionally I think we've been a little conservative when we've started off with two songs, three songs (from the new album). We're going to hit the ground running here. We're probably gonna learn all of them and play, I hope, at least five a night and probably rotate 'em so we get a lot of new songs in. That's one thing I'm definite about."Metallica, which has dates booked into August of 2009, will again be playing in the round, though Ulrich says the production will be "a completely different thing than what we've done before." He says that there will be "a big-ass fuckin' lighting rig above us, and there's some pretty cool stuff up there. There'll be some sh*t that turns on and off and some sh*t that blows up ... the usual stuff."
