Metallica Rumored to Release New Single on Rock Band Before It Hits Retail
Posted by: admin in Album info, Band Info, Merchandise
There has been a rumor spinning around for months that Metallica will debut their new single on Rock Band. This will follow the recent trend started by Def Leppard and Motley Crue and release thier new single as DLC before it hits retail shelves.
This rumor is getting hotter as it nips at the heels of an recent interview with Rolling Stone in which Metallica stated that video games, particularly Guitar Hero, offer “many positive things” to young people.
Lars Ulrich, drummer for Metallica stated that Guitar Hero has allowed him to connect with his own offspring about music.
When asked ‘You signed a lot of Guitar Hero controllers. Is that cool?’, he said:
“It’s f**king way cool. Our kids love playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band. It’s awesome. There’s something really positive coming out of video games. “It’s so cool to sit there and have your kids talk to you about Deep Purple and Black Sabbath and Soundgarden.”
Perhaps the positive quotes are a little more calculated than first impressions would have you believe, however: the rumor states that Metallica will release their next single through Rock Band not Guitar Hero III.
