According to Rollingstone.com, the 1991 masterpiece The Black Album was the last METALLICA disc recorded outside their cozy confines in the Bay Area. With that in mind, producer Rick Rubin encouraged the guys to lay down new tracks in L.A. “Rick thought it’d be beneficial for the gang to get out of the comfort zone of our back yards,” Lars Ulrich tells us. “We’ve been tripping up and down to L.A. since April, and the results have been better than good.” As of Thanksgiving, the only hurdles left are overdubs and James Hetfield’s vocals. “That’s it,” says Ulrich. “We’re very alive and well.”
