Metallica bassist Rob Trujillo says the band plan to record with “Zen guru spirit” Rick Rubin again.
The braided bass-man told 93.7 KCLB Rocks! Radio that the band want to record their next album with the legendary producer who worked with them on their mammoth comeback album Death Magnetic.
He said, “Yeah, I love working with Rick. Rick, to me, he's sort of a Zen guru spirit that Metallica needs right now. Not to say that we need it, because we're getting along incredibly well, we're really excited to write some new music. There's no shortage of riffage in Metallica world right now. And I think it's only gonna get better.”
Trujillo also spoke about their forthcoming tour as part of the Big Four of Thrash, alongside Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax.
The final date of the tour in October will see them visit India for the very first time.
He said, “It's an honour for all of us that we get to be a metal band and share our music with fans in India. We love travelling and experiencing other cultures.”
