KIRK HAMMETT dice que perdió un teléfono donde tenia 250 ideas para el nuevo disco de METALLICAKirk Hammett fue entrevistado recientemente por Jamey Jasta, líder de HATEBREED, para su podcast "The Jasta Show", que se puede escuchar a continuación y en el que hizo las siguientes y curiosas declaraciones:
"Grabé riffs en mi iPhone, pero hace unos seis meses pasó algo muy desafortunado, he perdido mi iPhone, contenía doscientas cincuenta ideas musicales. Estaba destrozado. Cuando sucedió, estuve desanimado por unos dos o tres días. Entré en la casa. Mi esposa me vio y me dijo, "Oh, oh, ¿qué pasa? ¿Recibiste una llamada de un familiar?" Dije que no. "Ella dijo: ¿Qué está pasando?" se lo dije, y ella me entendió.
"Perdí el teléfono. Simplemente lo perdí. No pude encontrarlo. Todavía estoy buscándolo hoy en día... Trato de recordar esos riffs... Sólo puedo recordar ocho de ellos. Así que tal vez no estaban destinados a salir y voy a seguir adelante."

METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett was recently interviewed on the latest installment of HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta's official podcast, "The Jasta Show". You can now listen to the chat using the SoundCloud widget below. A few excerpts follow (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).
On who is producing the next METALLICA album:
Kirk: "It's still a little bit early on who's producing it, but I'll tell you that Greg Fidelman is involved — old Fiddle Guy, as I like to call him. And he's just great. We love working with him. And for me, his whole attitude toward working is so 'right on,' man. I can't wait to get into the studio and work with him. He's not a ballbuster, but he is a slavedriver."
On how the songwriting process works in METALLICA:
Kirk: "I put riffs on my iPhone, but something very unfortunate happened to me about six months ago. I lost my iPhone [containing] two hundred and fifty musical ideas. And I was crushed. It didn't get backed up. And when it happened, I was bummed out for about two or three days. I walked into the house. My wife saw me and she said, 'Uh-oh, what's wrong? Did you get a phone call from a relative?' I said, 'No.' She said, 'What's going on?' I told her, and she understood.
"I lost [the phone]. I just plain lost it. I can't find it. I'm still looking for it to this day. I just set it somewhere and… It still might turn up. I'm hoping it will. To try to remember those riffs…? I can only remember, like, eight of 'em. So I just chalked it down to maybe it just wasn't meant to be and I'll just move forward with it.
"For me, music comes at all times of the day. When I get a riff, sometimes it's a complete riff and I can just play it and there it is, sometimes it's half a riff and I have to tweak it. Sometimes it's just a rhythm or a note selection. Or sometimes it's just something that I hum in my head. But it can come from anywhere, and I put it on my phone, and I make sure the phone is fucking backed up.
"All you musicians out there who use your phone, make sure it's backed up. Right?!
"And, you know, we get together and we jam [the ideas] out. And, you know, one riff leads to another riff, which leads to another, and, all of a sudden, you have somewhat of a skeleton of an arrangement, and you just jam on it and pound it out, talk about it — talk about what you would like to hear, where you would like to see it go. I mean, there's so many possibilities that you can do with it. For us, it's more so what we choose not to do with a piece of music, because there's so much you can do with it. We just wanna do the right thing with the music, the right approach and the right arrangement to any sort of riff or chord progression or melody."
