In a new interview with Billboard.com, legendary producer Rick Rubin talks about his upcoming involvement in the next Metallica studio album. An excerpt from the chat follows:
"Rubin, who was not involved with the headbangers' recent collaboration with Lou Reed, reports that the quartet is 'about to start writing, and I had a meeting with Lars (Ulrich) in San Francisco...to explore what the focus was going to be this time around. I'm still sort of thinking about what that is going to be. I'll ask a lot of questions and we'll probably listen to some of the riffs that they've been writing. Usually I'll hear something that will sort of indicate the direction and then we'll talk about it from there.'"
