Metallica's Lars Ulrich and Robert Trujillo talk about 72 Seasons, family and the next 20 records

In the interview, the two talk about the process of creating "72 Seasons", how they measure their success and whether they are slowly running out of ideas for new songs.
Lars says: “We have enough ideas for another 20 records.” Yeah!

I'm so happy Rob has been a Metallica family staple for the past 20+ years. He seems he would be a very comfortable person to be around.

[@karolosblack]

Just don’t wait another 7 years to release a new album. We want more new music from you guys.

[@shauner8754]

It’ll be 6 years lol

[@kylekuzma9801]

Their gonna be on tour for 2 years so probably no new music for a while maybe a single 🤷‍♂️

[@jd0879]

This is their last one let’s be real

[@selfoblivionalex6262]

If it wasnt for the pandemic 72 season would have probably been released 2024.

[@BPond7]

With their pace of album-making over the past twenty years, and given that they’re all now 60, I don’t think we’ll see another new album. 72 Seasons, I think, is their swan song. It’s been a hell of a run!

[@jonasgrunenfelder5189]

It's crazy how a legend like lars struggles with compliments...it's things like that, that make them the awesome down to earth legends they are

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Exactly. Some Kind of Monster and St Anger NEEDED to happen. Or there would be NO metallica and they wouldnt be the down to earth band they are today. It's very simple. NO St Anger = No Death Magnetic. No Hardwired to Self Destruct and NO 72 seasons ( their best album since 1991 hands down ).

[@kieranobrien7342]

I'm a fan 30 years and I love it it's my new favourite metallica album 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@albertbrankovic]

noooo? first 5 cds is not enough for ya boy....sad?

[@bluecomet1109]

You got to be kidding me

[@kieranobrien7342]

@Blue Comet no I'm not kidding you. There will never be a teenage Metallica, stop living in the past grow the fuck up. No-one says the same that's called life. Open your mind if the first 5 albums are all you can bear then your not a fan end of story

[@leadnsteel1428]

It's even better when you speed it up to like 1.2x sounds great.

[@livewell_79]

At this age...nail on the head. METALLICA STILL WHIPLASHING EVERYONE'S ASSES 👊🏼

[@MetaITurtle]

I've read that many people have gave Lars compliments and he didn't react or didn't seem like it got through to him, well this explains why, basically it's his way to stay humble

[@jasoncrump1886]

It's crazy I had kill em all cassette tape that I carried around with me back in 3rd grade and Metallica was my secret weapon band that I only had . It's so wild that they are the greatest and most known metal band ever now. I love it.

[@joshuabennett8110]

August 1987 I was 5 years old when garage days re-revisted was released. Since then, I have been flying the MetallicA flag loudly and proudly. Fun fact, the picture next to my comments is me at a MetallicA show in Denver June 2017.

[@shawnhuff3920]

Sleepwalk my life away is the best song on the album.. and the Robert can be heard

[@lewis93156]

Hoping they release another album within a year or two like they did with load/reload with some more ballad style and acoustic work

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Me too. What if they are hinting that "_There is no shortage of ideas_" because they secretly recorded two albums in the 6 year gap?

[@bluecomet1109]

Please no

Agree with Rob, the most enjoyable thing on the album are the effortless grooves. Its such a loose sound thats just fun to listen to.

[@almostliterally593]

I’m glad Trujillo actually has ſome writing credits on þe new record.

[@keefriff99]

I was very surprised that Lars didn’t seem to know of Sodom. He’s such a historian of metal music…I know the NWOBHM is his real speciality, but Sodom, while a cult band, isn’t exactly small. I figured they would have at least crossed paths on the European festival circuit at some point. Well at least he knew of Kreator.

[@azmeelothman2976]

Yes Im from KL 🇲🇾, beside Metallica, I do listen to German thrash metal bands of coz Sodom, Destruction, Kreator, Tankard, Accept... etc.... 🎸 🥁 and not forgetting the speed metal by Hell🎃ween

[@Tempest-Requiem]

James please stop with the cigarettes

[@mrlozano]

James smokes cigars, you do not inhale cigar smoke down into your lungs like you do with cigarettes. So he will not be tearing up his lungs or his throat, if you were worried about damage to his voice or ability to hold a note without loosing breath. When it comes to cigars, you simply draw the smoke into your mouth, savor the flavor, then exhale the smoke from your mouth, or thru your nose in what is called a "retrohale". Never doese the smoke go down into the lungs. James will be fine! Cigar smoke is safer than vaping, safer than cigarettes, and safer than chewing tobacco. If you had to pick a poison, let it be cigars.

[@lagramau]

It is a cigar😊

[@crushingalldeceivers]

Lars does not know Sodom? I find that hard to believe. I know his head was pretty far up his own arse during the 80's, but I was wearing a SOdom shirt when I met them in 89/. I call bull.

Romans 10:9 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Nah, it's awesome. It is a very good mix of new stuff and old stuff. When you hear those guitars doing the harmonies in duo on many songs it brings back that new british heavy metal wave vibe, I love it. How can you be a "fan" and think this is "generic"... I mean, you are not a fan.
