Embraced by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for more than 25 years of brutally melodic, cathartic hard rock, Metallica stayed true to their pledge and made their induction Saturday night a generous family affair, and a throat-punching throwdown. Ex-bassist Jason Newsted — who was ousted from the group eight years ago — guitarist/singer James Hetfield, drummer Lars Ulrich, guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo, along with the father of late bassist Cliff Burton, paid homage to the brotherhood that lifted a scrappy band of speed-demon metalists to the pinnacles of rock-and-roll success. Then they capped the night by showing the room full of their musical heroes the lessons they’ve learned along the way in a no-holds-barred set that included “Master of Puppets” and “Enter Sandman.” (more…)

Metallica have just announced that they will be hosting a couple of bashes in September, via their websites 
METALLICA just finished the first show of their 2008 European Summer Vacation in Chorzow, Poland at Slaski Stadium. The setlist was as follows:
The last three shows (Wiltern*, Tucson, and Irvine) are now available for download at LIVEMETALLICA.COM. The European shows are next and you can pre-order any or all of them at a 10% discount right now.
We’re psyched to play a large festival here in the States (for a change!), so we thought it would be fun to have a fun contest where you can win tickets to Bonnaroo . . . For your chance to win Bonnaroo tickets, provide a thoughtful answer to the following question:
Iron Maiden, Def Leppard and Kiss among 1980s acts leading genre’s resurgence
Following months of rumors, Ozzfest organizers confirmed earlier this month through a post at the official web site that the festival, a touring event for more than a decade, will transform into a “destination festival” this summer. OZZY OSBOURNE and METALLICA will headline a one-day show on August 9 at Pizza Hut Park in Dallas. Also appearing on the main stage are SERJ TANKIAN, KORN singer Jonathan Davis, HELLYEAH, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, SHADOWS FALL, APOCALYPTICA, IN THIS MOMENT and what’s being billed as an “all-star tribute” to slain PANTERA and DAMAGEPLAN guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott.
