METALLICA's JAMES HETFIELD Defends '...And Justice For All' Production: 'We Wanted The Best-Sounding Record We Could Make'

Asked in an interview with the METALLICA fan magazine So What! if Jason ever approached him and Lars to say that the bass was lower in the mix than he had expected, Hetfield said: "He probably did. I don't know what my answer was then, but it was kinda done. I mean, I will say, it was not all about, 'Fuck him. Let's turn him down.' That's for sure. We wanted the best-sounding record we could make. That was our goal. We were burnt. We were frigging fried. Going back and forth [between touring and mixing the album]. Playing a gig. No earplugs, no nothing. You go back into the studio, your hearing is shot. If your ears can't hear any high end anymore, you're gonna turn it up. So we're turning the high end up more and more and more and all of a sudden, low end's gone. So I know that played a bigger part than any hazing or any ill feelings towards Jason, for sure. We were fried. We were burnt."

Hetfield also addressed some of the criticism leveled at METALLICA by one of the "...And Justice For All" album mixers, Steve Thompson. In a 2015 interview with Ultimate Guitar, Thompson suggested that Ulrich was the culprit for the lack of any bass guitar on the record, claiming that Lars wanted his drums to sound a certain way — even if it meant cutting out the bass.

"We wanted it tight," James explained. "We wanted it fucking tight. That's what we wanted. We wanted the snare, we wanted the guitar, we wanted everything up front and in your face and really tight. And we thought we got it. And, you know, we kinda know what we want to sound like. Can we sit behind a desk and make it happen? No. We ask people to do it, and they do it. So [Thompson] did his job. He's got nothing to apologize for or point fingers at. No one's to blame for 'something.' It is a piece of art. It happened and it ended up the way it is for a reason. And for reasons we were just talking about. We were burnt. We're traveling, we're playing a gig, our ears were fried. We were not sleeping. He doesn't need to defend himself. He was a part of an awesome album in history, so I think he should be maybe be a little easier on himself."

James also once again dismissed calls for METALLICA to remix "…And Justice For All" so that Newsted's contributions are more audible.

"All this [bass discussion] is after the fact, and it's, like, who gives a shit, man, really?" Hetfield said. "And why would you change that? Why would you change history? Why would you all of a sudden put bass on it? There is bass on it, but why would you remix an album? You can remaster it, yes, but why would you remix something and make it different? It'd be like… I don't know. Not that I'm comparing us to the Mona Lisa, but it's, like, 'Uh, can we make her smile a little better?!' You know?! Why?"

Papinho bosta mesmo. A verdade saiu faz tempo do próprio produtor, foi mais uma ideia genial do Sr. Black Album de tras pra frente.

Papismo, enquanto banda eu acredito que deveriam sempre querer o melhor do som. Ok é história, o album foi gravado daquele jeito, beleza, mas por que não tentar fazer ele soar de forma diferente? Não vejo isso como alterar a história. As condições em que o album saiu e se perpetuou continuarão as mesmas, ele fala como se nego em 2019 estivesse aguardando ansiosamente um remix e fosse jogar no lixo o que foi lançado.

Negrames, por favor.

Is METALLICA The Biggest Band In The World?

According to the music industry trade publication Pollstar, METALLICA has sold more than 22 million concert tickets since 1982, grossing more than $1.4 billion in the process. That puts the thrash legends "just behind" U2 in tickets sold, but ahead of rock peers such as AC/DC, GUNS N' ROSES and OZZY OSBOURNE.

"When accounting for the reach of METALLICA's business... while playing 48 countries and every single continent (including Antarctica) over the course of their career; fervent and rabid merch consumption totaling $125 million in North America since the "Black Album" and into the high teens per-head on its latest touring [cycle]; and the band's road touring with no gimmick reunion or farewell announcement[s] necessary to drum up extra business... METALLICA may just be the biggest band in the world," wrote Ryan Borba.

Drummer Lars Ulrich believes the band's continued success can be attributed to not looking backwards. "I keep thinking and forcing myself to think all our best years are still ahead of us," he said. "That's the M.O. It's always, 'What's your favorite record?' It's the next one, the one we haven't recorded yet. It's always about the possibilities, always about what can be, what's coming. That, to me, is what this is all about, and I think that attitude is a big part of why METALLICA still connects to so many people around the world."

Manager Cliff Burnstein — whose Q Prime artist management agency has represented the group since 1984 — agrees. "We could tour off the first five albums forever," he told Pollstar. "But would we have the same staying power? Would there be an erosion of interest if we didn't have new things to put in front of people from time to time? Would the band be as engaged if they didn't have the goal of putting out new material to play? I don't think so.... Albums may come at great intervals, but they're always thinking about new material."

Nem dá pra levar algo desse tipo a sério. Parece mais um press release. Nem tiveram a capacidade de citar o Iron Maiden.

Sem contar o lance dos cambistas. Vai saber desde quando não vem isso. Pode ser coisa de décadas já, a banda simplesmente traindo os fãs por mais dinheiro. Desse jeito fica fácil lucrar.

Dar o braço a torcer sobre o que?

Metallica não é a maior banda do mundo. Só fanboy iludido falaria algo desse tipo.


Só ver os números:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artists

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_concert_tours


AC/DC e Guns N' Roses tão na frente do Merdallica nas duas listas.

Esse textinto com tapinha nas costas lançado por empresário não significa porra nenhuma.

Deveriam é falar sobre o lance dos cambistas, mas enterraram o assunto.
