Metallica: Recording Is Like Mountain Climbing

You would think after all these years recording a new LP for the band Metallica would be easy. Because they have been doing it forever. It's not. Metallica's guitarist Kirk Hammett finds making an album ''like scaling a mountain''. The rock guitarist is ready for the group, whose last LP, 'Death Magnetic', was released in 2008, to return to the recording studio but admits the more time they leave between records, the bigger the task it seems to make another one. "''The band needs to make an album. That's the big adventure that's looming up on the horizon. Making an album is always a bit like scaling a mountain, but this time it seems like the more we wait, the bigger the mountain gets. And now that we've been playing so long, it seems like that mountain is as big as the Himalayas right now.'' http://nr.news-republic.com/Web/ArticleWeb.aspx?regionid=1&articleid=26578530&m=d
