Rock and metal mega-producer Bob Rock would know a thing or two about Metallica’s 90’s era. He is, after all, the man they drafted in to help them evolve their sound into the stadium-friendly band of wavy metal that’d make them the biggest band in the genre’s entire history.
In a new interview with Metal Hammer, Bob reveals his thoughts on the Load and ReLoad era, and he firmly believes they showed a band unafraid to push themselves as far as possible.
“One of the most admirable things about the band is they really don’t think in terms of people’s reactions,” he explains. “They just do what they feel is right for them. They don’t take into account what people think. When they go into a direction and they make a commitment to doing something, they just do it. And they don’t hold back.”
