James and Lars Reflect on Master of Puppets
Metallica really kills me sometimes. Case in point:
"If we had known 20 years ago that we would be playing the songs 20 years from then, maybe we wouldn't have made the stuff so complicated."
They claim they're joking, but I'm not so sure. And on the Kerrang! tribute disc:
"But also, hearing those bands do our songs, it put a little fire in our ass to get back into it and really not be so lazy about playing. Not that we're lazy, but you kind of take for granted that, you know, we've been doing this for 26 years. We're good at this."
It's taken them this long to realize that they've been lazy (they know it's true) in their writing compared to their older days?

Unfortunatly, they aren't admitting to lazyness in their writing, just in their playing.
