They Might Be Curly Giants!

Gawd I miss these guys and I can’t wait for their album to be released in September. Judging from their performance during a benefit concert in front of 2,000 lucky fans for Flea’s music school for kids, as told in this interview with Rolling Stone magazine, they’re still rocking as hard as ever.

Does the new Metallica album have a title yet?
It’s got a title and we’re still playing with it to see if we like it. But I guess the album’s done. It’s still got to be mixed. All the singing, all the recording is pretty much done. And we’re pleased with it.

Was it an unusually long process this time?
It doesn’t seem that way, but at the rate we’re going, the next one will take four years. I don’t particularly like taking that long. There’s a few things that I know could make it shorter, but other band members disagree, so we do our best with a compromise.

4 years?? Damn! I hope they don’t take *that* long to come up with the next album!
