First I've heard of it, but this is on the Metal-lica website:
http://www.metallica.com/index.asp?item=600988
"We were honored to be asked to participate in Kerrang's exclusive “Maiden Heaven” tribute album . . . one of those super cool Kerrang! CD's that you can only get when you buy the mag. In this case, the issue (# 1219) goes on sale in the UK on July 16 and for those of you somewhere else, you can pick it up online at http://www.kerrang.com.
We picked “Remember Tomorrow” from Iron Maiden's self titled first album . . . it was basically the blueprint for songs like “Fade to Black” and “Sanitarium” and when we were jamming our way thru most of our favorite early Maiden songs, this one stood out and also came together somewhat effortlessly. . . we had a blast recording it at HQ in the middle of all the insanity of the last two weeks of finishing the new album back in May. Some of our other favorite bands recorded their own versions of Maiden songs too . . . Machine Head, Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Coheed And Cambria, Dream Theater to name a few. There are more details in the current issue of Kerrang! or on their site . . . or check out the "official" press release below."
Hmmm, they must be Paul Di'Anno fans, I would've picked something like "The Trooper" if I was in Metallica. But I'm not.
I haven't bought a Metallica album since the "Black" album. But I'm eager to hear this "Death Magnetic". I've read it falls back to the days of 8 minute epics and "shredding" ala Master of Puppets. Sounds, strangly, refreshing to me and I'm not a real fan of the genre.
I heard this yesterday on my way home and don’t really dig it as much as I thought I would… don’t get me wrong, it’s still cool, very cool, and they do a pretty good job, but I think the guitar was too slow… hmmm… I don’t know, I’m gonna have to listen to it again. Plus I didn’t really remember the song.. I guess it’s from their first album (from reading above), I was more of an after “Killers” fan, w/ Bruce Dickinson. (but we are talking when I was young. Like grammar school/jr high school young).
I’m sure after a couple more listens, I’ll totally dig.
you forgot:
stopped playing the white xplorer
made videos
lars in general
napster
bob rock
hiring a pycho-analyst
I'm sure there's a few more I'm forgetting. har.
um..

Re: Metallica
I've only heard samples of the song but it sounds pretty cool. I'll try and get a copy of the mag with the CD in it. I wonder if it will be on iTunes?
Seems they've kinda become the band that people love to hate but I'm looking forward to the new Metallica album.
Re: Metallica
they went down hill when they cut their hair. :-}~
Re: Metallica
Bah, they went downhill after Cliff took the bus-ride to the hereafter.
