Meaningless Monday Poll: How Many “The Unforgivens” Are Too Many?

Meaningless Monday Poll: How Many “The Unforgivens” Are Too Many?

New footage of Metallica performing The Unforgiven 3 live in Norway just surfaced on YouTube. I posted a rant about Metallica’s song-naming convention awhile back (I think that post has since been lost), but basically I was asking why there are three Metallica songs named The Unforgiven? I can’t think of any other band that has done that with a song. Can you imagine Led Zeppelin doing Dazed and Confused 2 or Black Sabbath doing … Read entire article »

Metallica Fans Still Don’t Know Who Gojira Are.

Metallica Fans Still Don’t Know Who Gojira Are.

Metallica kicked-off their European tour this week in Norway with Fear Factory and Gojira (Volbeat and High on Fire take the last half). There are a few videos on YouTube of the occasion, but this one was surprising because it seemed like no one in the audience knew who Gojira was. Now, I haven’t been to a Metallica show in like 10 years, so maybe I’m just out of the loop – but are the … Read entire article »

Terrorists Annoyed by Metallica. I’m Assuming, St. Anger?

Terrorists Annoyed by Metallica. I’m Assuming, St. Anger?

Maybe I make fun of Metallica a bit too much, but what can I say? When you’re at the top, you’re gonna get a lot of shots taken at you! Besides, this one was too good to resist. Apparently soldiers in Afghanistan are blaring Metallica to try and do some psychological warfare type stuff on the cave-dwelling Taliban. All I can say is, I hope they have the snare drum turned-up. Read Metallica vs. the Taliban. … Read entire article »

Devolved. Fastest Metallica Cover Ever.

Devolved. Fastest Metallica Cover Ever.

Los Angeles death metal band Devolved have their new album Calculated coming out in a few days. They recorded a cover of Battery by Metallica and quite honestly, it’s the most unique and definitely the fastest Metallica cover I’ve ever heard. Hear it on their myspace page. I think this drummer might give Dave Lombardo a run for his money! Oh, the blast beats! … Read entire article »

High Def Metallica Bootlegs From San Jose

You’ve no doubt seen a bunch of bootleg vids from this past Metallica tour. Bay Area metal head dogtired75 sent this video in of the band performing the song “One”, in what is perhaps the highest quality bootleg we’ve ever seen. Nice job! Side-bar: I bet Lars has a pretty nice tan after being in the middle of all those flames for the past few months. … Read entire article »

Poll: Big 4 Tour Really IS Happening!
What Does it Mean to You?

Poll: Big 4 Tour Really IS Happening!<br/> What Does it Mean to You?

It’s finally fucking happening. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax are playing at the same show together! Fuck yeah! Metal is back! I can finally die a free person! What’s that? They’re only playing in Poland and the Czech Republic? What the hell is the Czech Republic? Where’s Czechoslovakia? I’m American, I don’t have time to keep up with all these things. My first reaction to this news is one of excitement, followed obviously by sheer disappointment. … Read entire article »
