Metallica: “Death Magnetic” The Entire Album Available For Guitar Hero”
July 15, 2008 by Scott
Braves Words & Bloody Knuckles announced that Microsoft and Metallica are teaming up to bring the fans the entire album of Death Magnetic to be downloadable to Guitar Hero 3 and Guitar Hero: World Tour on XBox on the date of release…but only for the XBox 360.
Whether they got a fat chunk of change for it or not, this is a cool thing for the band to do. I sincerely hope that it’s all worth the downlaod and that the album rocks. We’ll see. Here is a bit of the anouncement from Metallica’s official page and you can read even more infor at BW&BK:
“Death Magnetic,” the entire album, available for Guitar Hero too! It’s a first in both music and gaming . . . the same day that “Death Magnetic” hits the streets, you’ll be able to download every song from the album for Guitar Hero III! We are so psyched that we’ll be the first out of the gate with this simultaneous release . . . who knows, maybe a few years from now this will be the norm when your favorite band’s new record comes out.
Its actually pretty funny how the whole internet seemed to slow down for E3. i noticed that even my Non-Video game podcasts, and Music RSS feeds slowed down with the berth of this years E3. But im still not sure what is going to be better RB2 or GH4
I always felt that there needs to be some sort of massive pay system where a multitude of songs were available…both new and old. Wouldn’t it be cool if for say 10 dollars ( I don’t have any major game systems so please don’t chastise me for being naive about prices ) you cold download all of …And Justice for All, CCR’s greatest hits, and Tom Petty’s Southern Accents? Yes I know, licensing costs, exorbitant fees, prima donna bands, but still it is a nice dream isn’t it??
