In honor of 25 years of the album ...And Justice For All, ARTISTdirect.com editor in chief Rick Florino spoke to METALLICA main man James Hetfield about their recent film Through The Never and ...And Justice For All. An excerpt follows:
Q: ...And Justice For All is a very special record in the Metallica catalog. What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the album now?
A: "I agree. It wasn't the first time with Jason Newsted, but it was the first real studio record he showed up and kind of was heard on the album (laughs). That's another whole therapy session right there! Touring that thing, I think of it as our fancy, showing-off album, 'We're crazy progressive musicians. We really know how to play here!' (Laughs) Making that work into this is a challenge, and I love that part of it."
