Metallica
Intro to the Iron Foundry (Live)
[Spoken: Michael Tilson Thomas]
So uh, right around that same time as primitivism was also futurism! And futurism was all about the might and power of the machine and technology, and the way it was taking us, in its own powerful way to new places and new horizons. And both Evan and I love this piece and we thought that this would be a terrific piece to introduce to the guys of Metallica. And being the intrepid, brave listeners and adventurous people they are they not only loved the piece, but they wanted to play it with us. So this is gonna give a new lease on life, the futurism of hearing this piece called: "The Iron Foundry" by Alexander Mossolov, played by Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony!
