There's speed on this. There's a couple of tracks where you're gonna go, 'Wow!' and I know you're gonna like it because it has the flavor of the old. But it has this kind of groove and power behind it that I think is us today."

I just saw this on Blabbermouth

Speaking to MTV3, Hetfield said of his beard, "There's a rumor going around that I was stopped at an airport for having this. They thought I was — it's just a made-up rumor — that I was some terrorist or something. I haven't seen many terrorists with tattoos, so…"

so it's just a rumour but still it is a sweet beard.
