Check out the feature below, and also take a look at the online-exclusive interviews with each of the bandmembers.But first, click above for a behind the scenes look at James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo at their Rosetta Stone cover shoot at their home base, where Ulrich admits, "Its a good summer to be Metallica." You worked in Doctor Quinn Medicine Womans house?Yeah. Its a really fabulous house, but its very old. It was built by King Henry VIII, and its quite creepy -- I must admit I didnt sleep very well there. [Eventually] we moved three miles down the road to Peter Gabriels Real World Studios. I think Ive done five albums there, and Peters always hanging around.When did Gwen Stefani call and ask you to contribute to her solo album?Unfortunately, Gwen asked us to write a track for her on the second day of our recording in the studio. It was just really bad timing Cheap Rosetta Stone Software, so we said that we couldnt do it. She said, "Well, Ive got this track [The Real Thing] that Ive been working on that I think sounds a bit like New Order. Would you play on it?" So thats what we did.You have booked Coachella and another show in San Francisco with the Chemical Brothers. Can we expect more than that?Weve agreed to do ten festivals around the world, but weve tried to avoid the ones that are during school holidays so we can see our children.Your first show for your last album was at a Liverpool venue. Theres quite a rivalry between your hometown of Manchester and Liverpool across the water. Why did you play there?When we started out in Joy Division, we got loads of gigs in Liverpool. We probably played more there than we did in Manchester. But, yeah, between Liverpool and Manchester theres this competition. I dont know where it comes from, because both sets of people are very similar, and theyre both Northern, industrial cities. Perhaps from football: Fortunately, Manchester has always had a better football team than Liverpool and this Rosetta Stone German V3 creates a grudge on behalf of Liverpudlians against Mancunians [laughs].
