  Metallica To Premiere New Song On 'rock Band'?

Metallica could debut the first single from its upcoming album on the soundtrack of a future edition of the Rock Band video game. via 102.9 CKDS-FM

Full Story

While Metallica is in the studio working on their ninth record, Paul DeGooyer the MTV Senior vice president of home entertainment is shouting from the roof tops that they are going to premier that album on Rock Band.

Mr. DeGooyer was talking about the new play list that is coming to Rock Band. The most interesting part of this list is the news that Metallica would be included. In an interview with Rocky Mountain News Paul was quoted saying, “There are a couple of things we’ve committed to, one of them with Metallica for example. They’ve reserved the right to give us their first single from their new album for the game.”

With the game design talent at Harmonix combined with the music connections of MTV, Rock Band has a bright and shinny future ahead. Now if we could just get all the instruments to connect wireless the game would be perfect!

I hope new song will be released as a regular single first, and then in a game.
