Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich joined Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff for his livestreamed fireside chat series to talk about how the band is staying connected with their fans and how they have been giving back with their All Within My Hands foundation while quarantined due to the coronavirus pandemic.
During that chat, which can be seen below, Lars said that the band has been staying connected:
“The four members of Metallica connect via Zoom once a week, and it’s great to connect. All four of us are, obviously, in four different locations in four different states right now. But one topic of conversation on these weekly Zoom sessions is what does it look like going forward? What will the next couple of months look like? What will the rest of the year look like? And what will, obviously, say, the next decade look like in terms of how do we create, how do we write music, how do we record music, how do we share music, and how is it all gonna look with the uncertainties ahead of us.
So, right now, as we sit here and go, well, maybe in a month or two from now, is there a chance that the four of us can be together maybe at our studio here in Northern California, if the quarantine and stay-at-home orders subside — so on and so forth.
So, will there be a Metallica quarantine record? I can’t tell you, because, again, I don’t know how long the quarantine will last. But if you and I and the rest of the world are sitting here six months from now or a year from now, I’d say there’s a very good chance.”
Metallica has started streaming a “Metallica Mondays” concert series where they play a previously recorded concert on Facebook and their YouTube Channel. Razor 94.7/104.7 also airs “Metallica Monday” concerts as well, which can be heard every Monday morning from 9-11 a.m.
