METALLICA – Hammett On More Gaga: “Maybe We Will…”

Just when you think the METALLIGA debacle was over… it comes back into your life like an uninvited relative! Guitarist Kirk Hammett, while bandmate James Hetfield stated for the record recently that he’s not interested in another future collaboration with pop diva Lady Gaga, despite the report that floated around saying Lars Ulrich invited her to be their 5th member as co-lead singer after the disastrous Grammys performance where James’ mic was sabotaged and would not work for the first quarter of the song while in front of a TV audience of 26 million, was interviewed by Brazilian radio station “89FM A Rádio Rock” before their concert on Lollapalooza Brazil and made his feelings on the matter clear. Here’s part of the discussion:

“When she showed up at that rehearsal, she knew her parts, she hit all the notes, she was very, very professional.”

Is the world really ready for more METALLIGA?

“And that impressed us because there’s been situations where it’s been like that and we’ve been, ‘Ugh, how’s this gonna work? Should we just bail on it?’ But with Lady Gaga, the minute she walked in – it was really cool. I don’t know what’s gonna happen in the future, I think it’s a bit of a stretch for us to say, ‘Yeah, we’re gonna do something in the future!”

“Maybe we will… maybe we won’t. But we kind of have a lot on our plate right now.”
