Metallica Ask To Appear On Dio Tribute
They'll also appear on a Deep Purple tribute
In a new interview with Metal Hammer the band revealed that they would be appearing on a couple of forthcoming tribute albums.
"We reached out to Wendy Dio wife of Ronnie about wanting to be a part of the Dio tribute that’s getting put together,” says singer James Hetfield. "We’re very honoured to be a part of that, and to be a part of a celebration of Ronnie’s life and his great contribution, man.”
"We’re definitely looking to do the record Wendy’s putting together for Ronnie,” adds drummer Lars Ulrich. "We were asked if we’d contribute to the anniversary of classic Deep Purple album ‘Machine Head’, too – we can’t turn that down. We’re circling the Dio and Purple catalogues and hopefully we’ll come up with something that is worthy of these wonderful men.”
