Last month, Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett had said that the band had big plans for the Black Album right from the start.
“We didn’t want to go down the same progressive, demanding route”, Kirk said.
“We had our sights set on bigger things. You have to remember that there had been some mega albums around that time – Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Bruce Springsteen… eight million, nine million copies sold", he added
"And we wanted that. It’s obvious. We wanted a Back In Black”.
The band are to also offer virtual guitar lessons.
