Babymetal Striving To Create New Genre

(Metal Hammer) Babymetal say they aim to one day be "as cool as" Muse and Linkin Park. The Japanese trio tour the UK as support to the Red Hot Chili Peppers next month. And looking ahead to the dates, Babymetal reveal their influences and hopes for the future.

Su-metal tells the NME: "Like Muse and Linkin Park, we are also striving to be the one and only to create a new genre called Babymetal. We hope to be as cool as them."

On the upcoming support shows with RHCP, Su-metal adds: "It didn't really sink in for me when I first heard that we would be supporting RHCP. But when I heard people around us commenting on how incredible it is to be on tour with such a celebrated band, that's when it finally sunk in and realised what a remarkable honor it is to tour with RHCP."
