Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett is selling his San Francisco home for $16 million. Hammett bought the home in 2010 for $8 million, so he stands to make a tidy profit.
Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo recently discussed Hardwired…To Self-Destruct with So What! magazine.
“I think for this album, it kind of makes sense that we really reconnected with the old school,” the bassist stated about the new record’s musical direction. “It’s almost like the old school on steroids, I feel.”
“I’m very proud that there’s energy and just a lot of firepower in what we’re delivering on this record. In terms of production, sound, drums, bass, just locked in tight solid — crushing, really. I’m so proud of how we actually played on this body of music.”
He later said, “I look at it this way: whatever I can do for the band, whether it’s support the band by writing riffs, transitions or whatever needs to happen, I’m there for that. If it’s to support the band and just play kickass bass… I mean, we always jam, so whether they’re… You can’t go wrong with a James Hetfield riff. We’re still playing together, and we’re still jamming, and the parts that I’m writing as a bass player are still a part of the creative journey. So it’s not like a Robert Trujillo song and whoever else… I’m there to support Metallica.”
