Metallica Returns To The Studio!!!!

Later this year, Metallica confirms their tenth album recording.

The band have planned that once they will complete with their 3-D concert film they will be heading back towards studio for the preparation of their album.

Drummer Lars Ulrich said: "We're gonna basically just concentrate on new music and try to get another Metallica record done."

He said frontman James Hetfield has lots of new ideas, adding: "Every time he picks up a guitar there's some brilliant riff that comes out of him.

"I try to make sure that they're all recorded and try to do my best to keep up with them and try to put some drums behind them.

"So there are, obviously, tons of ideas sitting around waiting to be had at in terms of turning ideas of James' into songs."

James Hetfield of Metallica's Designed Goggles

James Hetfield, Metallica's front man started the limited-edition JH Sutro Sunglasses in collaboration with Sutro Eyewear.His model is duly dubbed "the Hetfield," which comes in black and tortoise versions.

The glasses does resembles with a bit like Ray Ban, but it will be the more attractive piece for biker or punk.Hetfield describes them as "built to look faster than a speeding riff and to handle the life of a road dog like me."

The hinges of glasses are considered as 10 time stronger than any normal sunglasses.T hey retail for $219.99 and are a good middleground between a classic frame shape -- one that reads "grown-up" -- and one that reads "rocker dude." The price is also a nice compromise between designer shades by Tom Ford, which run about $400, and Ray-Bans, which run about $125.

"Frustration" lyrics:

"Frustration
In my lexicon of hate
I see you with your portraiture
Does he love you?
Does he love you too?

The brush strokes
Kiss your breasts and toes
I cry icicles in my stein
The heartbeats flutter
With an abnormal rhythm

The pain shoots through my body
A sword between my thighs
I wish that I could kill you
But I too love your eyes

You're feeling less whore but you stimulate
The hatred smolders in your eyes
I'd drop to my knees in a second
To salivate in your thighs

But all I do is fall over
I don't have the strength I once had
In you and your prickless lover
And his easel in his eyes

I feel the pain creep up my leg
Blood runs from my nose
I puke my guts out at your feet
You're more man than I
To be dead to have no feeling
To be dry and spermless like a girl

I want so much to hurt you
I want so much to hurt you
I want so much to hurt you
Marry me
I want you as my wife

Spermless like a girl
More man than I
More man than I

Frustration
In my lexicon of hate
You're feeling less like a whore but you
Stimulate

All I do is fall over
I don't have the strength I once had
All I do is fall over
I don't have the strength I once had

I want you so much to hurt you
I want so much to hurt you
I want so much to hurt you
I want you as a wife

Frustration is my lexicon of hate
Frustration is my lexicon of hate
Fru... fru... frustration, my lexicon of hate

I cry icicles
Heartbeats flutter
Abnormal rhythm

I wish that I could kill you
But I too love your eyes
I want you as my wife
I want you as my wife
Spermless like a girl

Lucky in feeling
More man than I
Marry me, marry me, marry me
I want you as a wife
Spermless like a girl
Puking my guts at your feet
More man than I
Fru... fru... fru... frustration
Frustration

Metallica late bassist Cliff Burton in the 25th anniversary of his death

Metallica late bassist Cliff Burton in the 25th anniversary of his death is appreciated.

Drummer Lars Ulrich has said that Burton had a major influence on the direction in which he and singer James Hetfield was later arrested in their career.

Burton died 25 years ago yesterday (September 27) became the band's tour bus in rural southern Sweden.

"You could certainly argue that me and James at that time were more kind of the squarer guys, because we were more like, 'Motorhead, Iron Maiden!' Heavy metal T-shirts, and long hair and bang our heads into the wall," he told Revolver magazine.

"Cliff was just so fast in his palette of things that he was into and things that were inspiring him and the things that he was doing. So it was definitely his music, and his attitude, and his approach towards life that really inspired me and James to broaden our horizons, broaden Metallica's horizons musically. I would’ve been interested to see what else he could’ve contributed, because it felt like we were just getting started."

He went on:

So when I think of Cliff, that's what I think…that just kind of variety and unpredictability, you know.

Metallica were reduced to tears during the recording of "Lulu"

Metallica were reduced to tears during the recording of "Lulu" by Lou Reed.

Lee Evans tickets online

The New York musician teamed alongside with the Californian heavy metal group for the collaborative album, and guitarist Kirk Hammett recognized that song, "Junior Dad" started crying during the recording.

He said: "I had just lost my father literally three or four weeks previous. I had to run out of the control room, and I found myself standing in the kitchen, sobbing away."

Kirk was joined by lead singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield - whose dad left his family where he was 13 - who was in a similar state.

He added: "James came into the kitchen in the same condition - he was sobbing, too. It was insane."

"Lou managed to take out both guitar players in Metallica in one fell swoop, with his amazing poetic lyrics."

The lyrics to the song include the lines: "Say hello to junior dad/The greatest disappointment/Age withered and changed him."

"Lulu" in Berlin, originally for a theater production based on a tune written by the flame - was recorded earlier this year for release on October 31 and November 1 in Europe is based in the United States.
