Peu importe où vous irez aujourd'hui à Québec, il y aura un seul nom qui reviendra sans arrêt : Metallica. Alors, nous allons continuer sur cette lancée avec cette entrevue de la station de radio WIRR avec Dickerman et LT, qui ont fait une entrevue avec Lars Ulrich le 5 juillet dernier au Camping World Stadium à Orlando en Floride.

Ulrich a été questionné sur les raisons du succès autour du plus récent album "Hardwired… To Self-Destruct".

Selon lui, c'est, en quelque sorte, un coup de chance. Ulrich mentionne que les membres ne se rencontrent pas à l'avance pour avoir une direction précise afin de susciter absolument une certaine réaction. Il doit y avoir un degré de flexibilité pour mener à bien les divers éléments créatifs. 

Il ajoute que si l'album a été reçu de cette façon, c'est peut-être parce que les gens n'ont pas cherché à trop l'analyser ou le catégoriser inutilement. 

 Ulrich :

"I would say that, sitting, talking about it afterwards, most of it is… It's like the luck of the dice. We never sit down to try to have a [discussion about], 'The record's gotta be this way, and it's gotta sound like this and it's gonna have this kind of reaction.' I mean, there's never that kind of a mission statement, because you've gotta… Any kind of creative endeavor, any kind of a creative journey, there has to be a degree of flexibility, because if the creative elements have to be authentic and pure and not contrived and not overly thought out, you have to be prepared to go wherever it takes you. And so almost all the time with records and creative... whether it's some of the movies we've done or the videos we make, or whatever we do, it just sort of has a life of its own."

I think a significant reason for this record's being received the way… and maybe people don't intellectualize it and overanalyze it, but James [Hetfield, METALLICA frontman] and I were talking about it an hour ago when we were sitting back there eating lunch, is Greg Fidelman, who engineered this record, who co-produced it with James and I, who was responsible for all the sonics and the mixing and all that. He's been with METALLICA now for over ten years. He knows us, and he knows how to make us sound the way we should sound and maximize kind of our thing. And I think that he's a significant reason for all the goodwill that's coming back our way in the last six months since this record came out."
