The leader of the Californian band was asked if his next job, Death magnetic, could have such an impact as the Master of puppets back in the day, since they have stated several times that they are doing it based on the sound from before, known as'old school'.
"I don't know ... on the one hand yes and on the other no ... The last thing I want the fans to think is' they are going to do it the same way as Master of Puppets because it was their best album, and they are doing it that way because it is what we want '. If we started writing songs for our fans, we would be wrong. They might think they know more than us but hey, I'm the captain of my team!
In the end, we have to write them simply because they come out of our hearts and they seem good to us. That is why people connect with them. If you start doing your job with the fans in mind, you've lost your way”He replied.
"We recognize that there was an essence, there was youth, there was definitely something good when we made the album (Master of Puppets), and right now is a good time for a work like Death Magnetic, now that 'old school' metal is back and louder than ever ... and we see many who want to play in a band, who make good guitar riffs, who really want to ... I love that, so this work will be like a new start"He added.
We can only wait and judge ...
