The spectacular edition of the festival Power Trip held last 2023, with a poster in which names such as those of Metallica, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden or Toolit was not only a unique experience for the attendees, but also for the musicians themselves, among whom we could see the members of Metallica enjoying performances such as those of Judas Priest, about whom Kirk Hammett recently stated that they are “the architects of what we know as heavy metal.”
The images in which we saw Kirk and James Hetfield especially enjoying from the show Rob Halfordand the words in which the Metallica singer and guitarist confessed that “At the end of the day, we are fans” They now join the statements of the guitarist made during the meeting with followers that took place last 25 of May in it Alte Kongresshalle in Munich, Germanywith Hammett and Robert Trujillo accompanying the photographer Ross Halfin at the talk and signing of his book “Metallica: The Black Album in Black & White”event that It has also been scheduled in Madridwithout confirming the presence of any of the band members.
“We were worshiping at the altar of Judas Priest,” Kirk begins to answer about how they lived that experience in Power Trip. “His music means a lot to us. And the way he Glenn Tipton and KK Downing they played the guitars… I mean they are the architects of what we now know as heavy metal, to put it bluntly. James and I love Priest.”
The guitarist highlights the great opportunity they had with this festival to be able to witness those performances: “A lot of times we don’t get the chance to see the bands when we play a big festival or something, because we’re always backstage dealing with the press or getting ready for the concert or rehearsing or whatever. So when we play at Power Trip “We arrived early, a few days early, so we could see the other bands. And it was great to have the opportunity to see Iron Maiden, Priest, AC/DC and Guns N’ Roses.”
