Interviewed by Ecuador's El Comercio on March 18th in Quito, METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett talks to Luis Fernando Orquera in the audio interview streaming via the Soundcloud widget below.

Asked if the day may come when Metallica stop making albums and only tour, Hammet responds: "There's a lot of different aspects to this band that we need to tend to, but I really think that the touring part supports the recording part, and the recording part - creativity, the songs - supports the touring part. Both of those things kind of like support each other, need each other for us to move forward. I think we would always need to write music, write songs, record them. It might be the exact opposite, we might just end up writing songs for the rest of our career at one point, or we might end up just touring... but I, myself, doubt that any of those two things would happen."
