BlabbermouthВ talked to SLAYER‘s guitarist yesterday:
On Greg Fidelman being a somewhat odd choice for a producer considering that a lot of fans seem to blame him for the distorted sound on METALLICA’s “Death Magnetic” album:
Kerry: “I would never do that because — no offense to him or METALLICA — but it’s not Greg’s fault for the last 15 years of METALLICA. I think he made a decent record with them. I think ‘Death Magnetic’ is pretty cool. I mean, It’s not the glory of the ’80s, but it’s better than ‘St. Anger’, you know what I mean?! You’re dealing with hard-headed dudes. We’re the same way. When you’re in the business for as long as us and them [METALLICA] are, you don’t always [listen to] everybody’s opinion; you’ve kind of got your own opinion. I blame everybody, not just him. [Laughs]”
