7/19/01 The mighty Hetfield is in rehab...the band's offical statement
reads:
To Our Friends:
We would like you all to know that James Hetfield has entered a
rehabilitation facility to undergo treatment for alcoholism and other
addictions.
James has entered an undisclosed facility, and he will continue to
receive treatment until further notice. Until then, we have postponed
all current activities, including recording sessions for our new album,
as well as the July 29th launch party for metallica.com.
We have always thought of you all as family, and wanted you to know
before this information gets out through other sources. James is
working hard toward recovery, and needless to say he has our full
support. We trust that you will appreciate the sensitive nature of
this matter, and respect our wishes to give James the time and privacy
he needs to deal with his problems.
Until then, thank you in advance for keeping James in your thoughts and
prayers, and we look forward to continuing to share music with you in
the future.
5/15/01 Congrats to Lars and Skylar, on Sunday May 6th Layne
Ulrich was born at 3:26 PM
4/25/01 The three remaining members of Metallica entered a Bay Area recording
studio this week to begin working on a new studio album. The boys will
be holed up in the studio this summer with no bassist. We can expect
an album later this year or early next year.
4/6/01 Lars Ulrich made an onstage appearance at a Godsmack show
in Chicago’s UIC Pavilion Wednesday night. For some reason Lars came
out at the end of Godsmack's set in a wheelchair (probably just to
fuck with everyone, as he was walking around freely while Sully was
talking to the crowd). Lars was in town to see Systematic (a band
signed to his The Music Company label) who are currently opening for
Godsmack on their US tour.
3/20/01 The box set of McFarlane Metallica figures, will be

concert for the San Francisco School Of The Arts.
2/1/01 Metallica won't be auditioning bass players anytime soon,
James, Lars and Kirk have chosen instead to concentrate on writting
material for a new album which will see Bob Rock producing yet again.

STATEMENT FROM THE MEMBERS OF METALLICA
Metallica regrets to announce that after 14 years as
Metallica’s bassplayer, Jason Newsted has chosen to leave the band.
Jason Newsted: "Due to private and personal reasons, and the physical
damage that I have done to myself over the years while playing the
music that I love, I must step away from the band. This is the most
difficult decision of my life, made in the best interest of my family,
myself, and the continued growth of Metallica. I extend my love,
thanks, and best wishes to my brothers: James, Lars, and Kirk and the
rest of the Metallica family, friends, and fans whom have made these
years so unforgettable."
James Hetfield: "Playing with someone who has such unbridled passion
for music will forever be a huge inspiration. On stage every night,
he was a driving force to us all, fans and band alike. His connection
will never be broken."
Lars Ulrich: "We part ways with Jason with more love, more mutual
respect, and more understanding of each other than at any other point
in the past. James, Kirk and I look forward to embracing the next
chapter of Metallica with both a huge amount of appreciation for the
last 14 years with Jason and the excitement of rising to the
challenges that lay ahead to make Metallica shine brighter than ever."
Kirk Hammett: "Jason is our brother. He will be missed."
In the spring, Metallica will begin writing and recording a new studio
album with release sometime in late 2001 or early 2002.
No matter how many times I read that, I stil can't believe it...
