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.
