Experience the new Metallica album before it’s out…this is a great site

Metallica will be getting their own Guitar Hero game in the very near future…with Aerosmith themed Guitar Hero weeks away, now apparently there will be a Metallica themed Guitar Hero.  May I ask when is our beloved Jimmy Page going to get his own themed game??? 

Hey, it‘s Dave! Remember me? Yeah, I‘m the guy that‘s been listening to your band faithfully since 1983. I bought your first album ‘Kill ‘Em All‘ from a mail order catalogue called Under The Rainbow, I think. Actually I can‘t remember. It was 1983 for Christsakes! But that album changed my life and I‘ve been listening to your albums ever since (even ‘St Anger‘!). I can‘t wait to hear the new shit, and no matter what you guys do I‘ll always be first one at the shop waiting to hear it. I‘m sure you‘ll come out and blow everybody‘s fuckin‘ minds, because you‘re fuckin‘ METALLICA! Good luck. And don‘t release it until it‘s kick-ass.

Yours, Dave Grohl.

P.S. Are you finished recording the drums yet?

Led Zeppelin and Metallica are rumored to be headlining Bonnaroo next year!!!

“In either very late 2007 or early 2008, Metallica will be releasing their long awaited ninth studio album. While many metal heads are eagerly anticipating this release, there are also just as many who are somewhat concerned by its impending outcomes based upon the band’s recent history.

They pushed this solidarity forward along with other bands such as Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, and Overkill.

At first, though, it was not an easy establishment to push. The 1980’s heavy metal scene was dominated by the early beginnings of hair metal: bands like Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, and W.A.S.P. were stomping their popularity among the masses, and this legacy would be followed through by bands like RATT, Poison, and Bon Jovi during the later part of the decade.

Metallica and the thrash scene, on the other hand, was clearly more of an underground attitude and feel. They were truly the alternative metal of the era: the music that metal heads were looking for once they tired of the hair metal evolution. The thrash scene was a breath of fresh air…”

“As a child of 11, guitarist Kirk Hammett watched in horror as his pet dog Tippy was penetrated by the guy next door. That’s just one of many jaw-dropping facts we learn about ultimate rock monsters METALLICA in the new issue of British magazine Q.

Hammett explains: “I went to my neighbor’s. The guy took down his pants and started having sex with the dog! I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. When he got up, I just took the dog and left. She was still wagging her tail.”

Other key revelations include frontman James Hetfield’s jealousy over Hammett and drummer Lars Ulrich’s massive consumption of cocaine. “I did not like being around them when they were on that stuff,” says the singer. “I resented the closeness they had through their drug use…”
