Metallica: James Hetfield wouldn’t re-record Classic Albums

Metallica frontman James Hetfield says he could not revisit the Metallica’s classic albums as a result of they’re “snapshots of history.”

The vocalist and guitarist admits there are certain tweaks he would like to make to their back catalogue – however it is not one thing he thinks will ever happen.

He talks Red Bulletin: “There are things I would like to change on some of the data – but it gives them so much character that you can’t change them.

“I find it a little frustrating when bands re-record classic albums with pretty much the same songs and have it replace the original. It erases that piece of history.

“These records are a product of a certain time in life – they’re snapshots of history and they are a part of our story.”

He continues: “OK, so 1988’s … And Justice for All could use a little more low end and 2003’s St. Anger could use a little less tin snare drum, however those things are what make those records a part of our history.”

Metallica are at present gearing up for a run of South American dates in support of 10th album Hardwired… To Self-Destruct. They will then head out on the road across North America from May.
