On the eve of the release of their new movie, Metallica Through the Never, Metallica band members tell UK screen in an exclusive interview in San Francisco that they don’t preach anything in their music and their goal is only to entertain and connect with other like minded people.

Metallica Through The Never is a concert movie featuring many of the band’s hits and interspersed with the harrowing journey of their roadie, Trip (Dane Dehan), who is dispatched on an errand in a city raging with violence.

The band’s co-founder and drummer Lars Ulrich rejected the notion that the violence in the film could inspire violence on the streets.
