really great monster. looks like a giant cucumber. this monster defeated the world in that movie. we have a reproduction of it and it's pretty cool. >> solid. about the band. are you still working on a new album right now and when do you think fans --. >> we -- we still -- still still still are working on a new album. we have been workingn 't it for a while. we have songs. we have tunes. we are working on it. we are moving pretty slowly because life in metallica has so many factors and we also have our own families and so -- that's kind of contributing to how slow the pace is but we are moving forward and we are gaining ground, every day, every week, every month and -- sooner or later we will have --

an album out. yeah. >> i can't tell you when -- i wish i could tell you when, i don't really know . none of us do. we are still working on it it's all good. moving forward are two big words. last question. have you been invited no will you play at the super bowl? >> you know it would be an extreme honor. i mean beyond records for us to play the super bowl. i feel and think we are the perfect band for the super bowl and i feel and think we are the perfect band for any sort of event like that. you know -- it's all part of just -- convincing other people in the nfl and the powers that be. if we got the invite i think we would have to like think about it for maybe onesavanh hundred doctor one hundredth of a second. immaterial amon board with you. i hope it happens and it would be great to do it right here in the backyard where you grew up in. i'm looking forward to the
