New Guitar Hero: Metallica Trailer Featuring Lemmy and King Diamond

Scott — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 14:51:34 +0000

As we get closer to the release date of Guitar Hero: Metallica more trailers are going to pop up and more press will be released. Honestly I can’t find time to play any XBox 360 or games that really interest me as of late. I’m sure this will be fun to play. Hopefully there will be more James singing and not so much “Jaymz” singing, but I doubt it. I wonder how much Warner Music is making off of this game? Here is a new trailer feature two of the special guest character, Lemmy and King Diamond.

Guitar Hero Metallica Will Feature Lemmy!

How cool is that? Guitar Hero: Metallica will feature Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister as an unlockable character. Spinner.com reports:

Gamers will have the option to either watch Lemmy’s in-game likeness as he hammers away at his bass and sings in his signature, whiskey-drenched vocals, or they can step into his cowboy boots and learn to play Motörhead’s 2008 re-recorded version of their biggest hit, the anthemic ‘Ace of Spades.’

That’s pretty cool. I mean, there are plenty of people I would like to see on Guitar Hero: Metallica that I never will, so this is cool. I wonder if you can only use him playing Bass?

Preorder Guitar Hero Metallica, Get A Free Foot Pedal.

Scott — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:14:35 +0000

Gamestop is offering a free “bonus” foot pedal if you pre-order Guitar Hero: Metallica, which is set for a U.S. release on March 29th. The reason for the pedal? You get to play double bass on GH: Metallica. You also get a splitter so you can plug both pedals in to the drum kit.

I can honestly say that I’m looking forward to this, seeing that Guitar Hero: World Tour really sucks without being able to download new songs for it. World Tour was a real let down for me because the song selection really sucks. The new features are great, but the songs suck…for a hard rock/metal fan.

You can get the pedal by pre-ordering your copy with either delivery or in-store pick up. Should be interesting…

Pre-order yours while supplies last.

Metallica…and more Metallica

Scott — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 22:22:00 +0000

I’m tired of posting Metallica news almost as much as most of you are tired of seeing it. The fact is that Metallica still has a Load of fans (pun intended) that want to read anything and everything Metallica. So in relation to those people that like to read about Metallica without me being a cynical bastard, I give you two quick bits of Metallica news.

Guitar Hero: Metallica may be in the works. Gamespot.com reported this:

“In fiscal 2009, we plan to publish Guitar Hero: On Tour for the NDS; Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Metallica, and Guitar Hero IV across multiple platforms,” the company said in its report. Activision’s fiscal year ends on March 31, 2009, which means that the game will likely follow the holiday release of Guitar Hero: World Tour (nee Guitar Hero 4).

I think that would be pretty cool…for sales. How about a Guitar Hero Slayer?

If you wanted a Master Of Puppets reissue on heavy vinyl then your going to have to wait another month. Blabbermouth.net reports:

METALLICA’s classic 1986 album “Master of Puppets” will be reissued on heavy-duty vinyl on July 15 – one month later than the previously announced June 17 release date. This is the third in the band’s series of vinyl reissues. Like “Kill ‘Em All” (1983) and “Ride The Lightning” (1984), “Master of Puppets” will be made available in the following formats: a single disc at 33 rpm and a deluxe two-disc version on 180-gram vinyl spinning at 45 rpm.

Does anyone actually listen to these types of re-issues when they get them or are they more or less a collectors piece like they are to me. I have a few pieces of vinyl. It looks nice in my collection but I doubt if I have it on cd that I would ever listen to it on vinyl.
