Robert Plant refused to keep working with the band after their one-off concert at London's O2, later released as Celebration Day. A number of vocalists were tried out, including Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Myles Kennedy of Slash and Alter Bridge.

Page tells Metal XS: "In the run-up to the concert, the only music we played was Led Zeppelin. But we played really, really well. Jason, myself and John Paul Jones played really well together so it made sense to see what we could do, using that same energy with new material."

He continues: "But of course, that's not good enough for other people - they want to keep trying singers out. From my point of view, the most important thing is to concentrate on your strengths, not your weaknesses. With the weaknesses, none of us sang. But we could play."

In the six-minute profile, Tom Araya, Kerry King, Gary Holt and Paul Bostaph look back to how they helped form the thrash metal movement. Frontman Araya recalls the phone call from guitarist King that got him involved, saying: "He mentioned Iron Maiden, and I'm thinking, 'Who's that?' So I went out and bought the record, and when I listened to it I was like, 'Oh my God!'"

King remembers the challenge of securing early shows in California as the band aimed to be "anti-Ratt, anti-Motley Crue - anything we could do to not be a hair band."

Drummer Bostaph agrees: "I thought, 'I want to play drums and I want to kick ass.' If I have to spend two hours doing makeup before I go on stage, I'm not interested."

When he was asked about older bands letting him down he responded, "What I've found with some of the bands I kind of grew up with listening to, with every new album you kinda go back and you appreciate the last album more. Like when [Metallica's] Load and Re-load came out, they made me appreciate 'The Black Album' [Metallica's self-titled 1991 album] even more."

The conversation then turned to Metallica's most controversial album "St. Anger." Taylor had this to say, "If that album had different production, it would've been completely different because the Special Edition that came out had the live DVD of them in the rehearsal playing the songs, with completely different production, and some of those songs were really good.

"I can't listen to the album, though, 'cause that snare drum sound�. sorry. Lars, I love you, but that snare is s-. But then they came back with Death Magnetic, which I love. I love that album. I've gotten in a lot of arguments with people who are like, 'That's not Metallica.' It's like: they're older now. You're not 17 anymore, either!"

He was then asked if it was difficult getting into younger bands and he said, "See, I'm on the other side of that because I get to see a lot of bands in their environment, live. Gallows is a perfect example of that. That Grey Britain album is so good. I mean it's rough, it's greasy, it's pissed off, the production is amazing, and they wear their English on their sleeve. They don't care, they're like, 'We're not trying to fit in and be kind of just mediocre so we can fit in with everybody. We're British, and we don't care.' And I love that; I love the attitude there."

Vennart tells Music Radar: "I'd had a hankering to do something a little more egocentric because Oceansize was very much a collaborative, painfully f***ing democratic collective.
