“It’s not one thing we’ve talked loads about, no. I feel a lot of the power and the assets go into making an attempt to remain wholesome, keep cohesive, keep functioning,” he stated (by way of Blabbermouth).
He went on to say as he will get older, he spends “extra time” on his day by day exercises. “It’s all about making an attempt to remain wholesome. Maintaining a healthy diet, residing wholesome, no matter it’s every of us must convey to the desk.”
“Clearly, there’s a level the place it’s perhaps not going to operate anymore at some degree, the place we will’t play ‘Battery’ or ‘Grasp Of Puppets’ or songs like that. I do know there’s some individuals within the feedback part that suppose that time has already come. However the one factor I can say is that it hasn’t occurred but. Hopefully it received’t occur for some time. I imply, Paul McCartney‘s on the market previous his eightieth birthday. The Rolling Stones are nonetheless on the market. Bruce Springsteen simply began his tour.”
“None of them are taking part in ‘Battery’, “ continued Ulrich. “However on the identical time, Springsteen performs three-hour reveals and simply performed 28 fucking songs on the opening evening. He seems more healthy and stronger than ever. I might say that if we keep wholesome, hopefully we’ve bought one other decade.”
Again in 2015, James Hetfield stated there’s “no retirement till we bodily can’t do it”. In 2018, Ulrich stated: “We hope we will get one other 20, 25 years out of Metallica. I don’t know what it’s gonna appear like, I don’t know what it’s gonna sound like, however that’s in our heads.”
