In an interview for the Mike On Much podcast, Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett discussed losing all his demos for what became Hardwired...To Self Destruct (25:40), his musical heroes (32:45), and how history looks back on the Napster controversy (35:20). Check out the interview below.
"Three years ago we were honored to share the stage with world-renowned Chinese concert pianist Lang Lang at the Grammy Awards as we performed 'One' together. It was one of the most creative, unique performances of our career," says Metallica.
"And we’re thrilled to announce that Lang Lang will join us again, this time in Beijing on January 18, 2017 when we take over Le Sports Center for a sold-out stop on the first leg of the WorldWired tour this year. Having toured around the world himself, we’re excited to collaborate with Lang Lang in his home country and are ready to kick off the new year with five shows in Asia... it’s just the beginning of a full year of WorldWired, so we’ll see you out there!"
