JAMES HETFIELD was asked what he would like to change in old METALLICA songs. His answer may surprise you:
"There are things I would like to change on some of the records, but it gives them so much character, that you can't change them. I find it a little frustrating when bands re-record clasic albums with pretty much the same songs and have it replace the original. It erases that piece of history. These records are a product of a certain time in life. They're snapshots of history, and they're part of our story. OK, So... AND JUSTICE FOR ALL could use a little more low end and ST ANGER could use a little less tine snare drum, but those things are, what make those records part of our history.
