"We would love to do some shows," Metallica frontman James Hetfield told an Argentinian radio station (via Gibson). "I don't know how many, I don't know where. How many can we do together? It doesn't need to be 20 shows and it doesn't need to be one show - somewhere in the middle there, I think, to give everyone a taste of it and just see what it's like."

Hetfield says that Lulu shouldn't be seen by fans as the "new Metallica album."

"I'm sure there's some Metallica fans that will think that 'This is the new Metallica record. I don't like it. I'm scared.' And it's not," he said. "This is a project that was presented to us that we wanted to challenge ourselves with."
