So, I think there's both (things) and I guess you can choose which one you want to focus on more.”
And yes, there's a big brand and blah, blah, blah, blah, you know that too. So, there’s a connection through the lyrics or just the feel. “You know, I want to have something that no one else has, but I think what I'm trying to say is that there's a connection between us and an individual fan deep down that no one else might have. You know, if you see this big ‘M’ everywhere and it's like, ‘oh my god, everyone likes them now’ and I get it. Papa Het added: “I love that you relayed that Corey message that it could be hard to be a Metallica fan. I was like ‘WHAT IS THAT?!’ You know, it's like a whole new world opened up. “It takes me back to… I remember hearing (Jimi Hendrix’s) ‘Purple Haze’ for the first time on my brother's stereo. First of all, that people are interested in that song, which I still can't believe, but (also) to have a connection with a younger audience. It was a cult for a second.”Īsked how it feels to have so many new fans in the wake of ‘Master of Puppets’ being used in Stranger Things, James said: “It is beautiful. The comments came after Sophie quoted a recent interview with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, who said: “For so long (Metallica) were our secret.
