November 2, 2012 Kirk is celebrating the release of his book "Too Much Horror Business", and hit the stage for a fun party with music, dancers and craziness. One of the bands playing is another of my favorite bands, Death Angel, who were just here in town recently!
In a turn that surprised many fans, it was announced a few weeks ago that Metallica were adding one more show to their 2012 touring itinerary, a schedule that initially ended with the band's performance at Outside Lands in San Francisco. However, the band answered the call to take over Green Day's slot headlining the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience festival, meaning Metallica would give the world one more 2012 show. Last night (Oct. 27), Metallica did just that at City Park in New Orleans.
Metallica fans who are looking for something to do this weekend, look no further. Metalheads can get their hands on the two latest items available in Metallica's official online store: jigsaw puzzles. That's right, after you crank up your favorite 'Tallica record, clear the table and get ready to put a puzzle together.
On the heels of learning that Metallica will be taking over Green Day's headlining gig at the 2012 Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans, Loudwire had the chance to catch up with 'Tallica axeman Kirk Hammett. This will be Metallica's first concert in New Orleans since 2008, so needless to say there is a lot of excitement around the announcement.
Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett is looking to scare up some extra business for his new book, 'Too Much Horror Business,' and will hit the road for a series of book signings next month.
Yesterday (Sept. 27) marked the 26th anniversary of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton's shocking death, prompting an outpouring of memories from fans -- as well as a tribute from his surviving bandmates.
26 years ago, one of Metals brightest stars went out.
As Metallica fans are anxiously awaiting the 3D debut of their favorite band on the big screen, they will get an early surprise to keep their interests piqued: a DVD/Blu-Ray release of a two-night residency in Quebec City filmed in 2009 during Metallica's 'World Magnetic Tour.' Not only will fans get footage from Metallica's most recent worldwide tour, but they also get to pick which night of the two-night stay is featured as the main setlist on the release.
September 19, 2012 Rolling Stone, who aren't really known for their stellar coverage of metal in general (IMHO) have released their reader-poll results for best metal albums of all time. Unsurprisingly, it was totally dominated by Metallica's four monster albums, "Master of Puppets", "Ride The Lightning", "...And Justice For All" and "Metallica". Who else made the list?
I played the Five Finger Death Punch version of Bad Company earlier and it got me thinking about cover songs.
Metallica recently rocked Mexico City and I found a sample for you!
July 31, 2012 A lot of people belittle Metallica nowadays (does that word make me sound old?) since they haven't been as heavy as their first four albums in the last twenty years. That hasn't stopped them from dominating the globe with their massive tour schedules and album releases. If you haven't seen Metallica live, you're missing out. It's a great show, and they really do some of the coolest things with their stages.
