Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett was recently interviewed by The Rock’s Jay and Dunc. Hammett talked about Tool’s upcoming album, guitar and releasing his first beer.
The Rock:
“Congratulations on releasing your first beer. How does that work out for you? Do you just get it for pre-show, or are you, like, ‘I’m gonna be drinking my own beer’?”
Kirk Hammett:
“We don’t really drink before a show. That’s, like, asking for real trouble. There was a time when we used to drink quite a lot before we went onstage, but you know, responsibility and professionalism have become a priority here in Metallica land.
So when it comes to stuff like that, we’re pretty responsible and boring these days. But having said that, there’s always a refrigerator filled with the Enter Night beer at every one of our shows that people can just walk up and help themselves with.
I personally stopped drinking four years ago, but you know, I know that Enter Night is a good beer because I smelled it.”
The Rock:
“You guys have now released 10 albums. Do you have any advice for Tool on how they can finally finish their fucking next album?”
Kirk Hammett:
“Well, I talked to Adam Jones quite a bit, you know, and the last thing I knew, he was dealing with artwork, so that’s great. If they’re finishing the artwork, it must be close.”
