Last week we had a piece of news, or should I say rumor, telling that Metallica was in the One to One studio, where they did "...And Justice for All" and "The Black Album", to record songs for the next album. Well, they were in the studio September 26 - 27 in San Francisco but not to record new music. Here is what metallica.com reports
Truth Is: Last week, Metallica spent two days at One on One studios filming an episode of VH1's "Classic Albums."
Over the years, the BBC has produced 9 "Classic Albums" episodes that have been licensed to VH1 for broadcasting. These episodes cover an album that have had a major impact in both the music industry and for music fans around the world. In the past, the BBC have covered albums by U2 (The Joshua Tree), Fleetwood Mac (Rumors), and Jimi Hendrix (Are You Experienced?). The time has come for Metallica's Black Album to be revisited.
On Tuesday September 26th, all four members of Metallica gathered in the same room for the first time since the ending of the Summer Sanitarium tour. They returned to the studio where they recorded 1988's ...And Justice for All album as well as 1991's Black Album.
Upon entering the studio, James shouted out... - "Do you guys remember, that's where we shot darts at the picture of Kip Winger"
It took two days to record the band's footage for the Classic Albums episode. In addition to interviews with James, Lars, Kirk, and Jason, the BBC also interviewed the recording team of Bob Rock (producer) and Randy Staub (engineer) and, of course, a few Metallica fans.
Unfortunately, there is no word on an air date yet. encycmet.com has contacted VH1 about this and we promisse to give you any updates as soon as we know
