Ulrich went on to reiterate that lack of inspiration is not something the metallica suffers, and that they don’t have enough time in the world to really record all the ideas they have in the vaults. “We’ll never be able to flesh out all the riffs and ideas because we won’t have time to produce.”
There was never a conversation about whether we should make new music or we shouldn’t make new music. So it’s never a question like that. New music is a vital, vital, huge, huge, meaningful part of who we are.”
