"Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has revealed that the band have over 700 recorded guitar riffs to sort through for their new album. The &amp;#039;St. Anger&amp;#039; star explained that the group&amp;#039;s frontman James Hetfield has recorded a mass of new material and conceded that the band will not be able to use it all. &amp;quot;James told me in Australia that he had over 700 new riffs. That was slightly overwhelming. It&amp;#039;s kind of frightening,&amp;quot; Ulrich told Metal Hammer magazine. &amp;quot;James is not allowed to play guitar without being recorded. Literally! There are also hours and hours of jams and tuning-room shindigs. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re gonna sit down and wade through two-and-a-half years&amp;#039; worth of riffs and jams and hopefully a lot of the seeds for the next Metallica record will be in that. We can use the rest of the riffs for ringtones or, I don&amp;#039;t know, set up a web site - SpareRiffs.com.&amp;quot; Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo recently revealed that the band will be working with Rick Rubin on their next album.
