Metallica Fear For The Future Of Rock

(Classic Rock) Metallica are worried about the future of rock music after they've gone, they've revealed. The band discussed their concerns in a question-and-answer session with fans on Sirius XM as they continue to promote upcoming album Hardwired� To Self-Destruct.

And despite name-checking several rising-star acts, they expressed fears over what will happen to the heavy music genre in the future. Frontman James Hetfield said he hadn't heard much inspirational material recently, adding: "Where's the syncopation? Where's the heart? I get mad.

"Hopefully somebody will be like me and just come up with something, and be the next cool different thing. Someone's got to get pissed off enough to write something different."

Drummer Lars Ulrich recommended Savages, saying: "Talk about pissed off - they're insane. They're this punky, super-dark, Siouxsie And The Banshees dark, weird Euro punk. They're a little different."

Guitarist Kirk Hammett said: "I saw a video for a band that really impressed me. Their name is kind of difficult - you pronounce it 'Horror' but it's H09909."

But he went on: "Where's the new generation of arena bands? Can anyone answer that?" Read more here.
