    Metallica to simultaneously release "Death Magnetic" on Guitar Hero 3

    Metallica have said:

    "It's a first in both music and gaming...The same day that (the new Metallica album) 'Death Magnetic' hits the streets, you'll be able to download every song from the album for Guitar Hero III! We are so psyched that we'll be the first out of the gate with this simultaneous release...Who knows?! Maybe a few years from now this will be the norm when your favorite band's new record comes out."

    "And for those of you who are anxiously awaiting the next Guitar Hero 'World Tour', we're ready for that too...You will be able to experience 'Death Magnetic' for drums, vocals, and guitar when that game emerges this fall."
    If the price is right it sounds like a good move to me

    I'm surprised they didn't wait and have this (or a few songs included) on the new Guitar Hero - Metallica

    Still could be a good move if priced right

    Really looking forward to the new album and as knox said, if the GH3 DLC is cheap enough I'll be picking it up.

    Is this the same metallica who a few years ago bitched about downloading music killing the industry and here they are at the forefront of it?

    Can open, worms everywhere

    Personally I hosted my bands e.p on several file sharing services after we had it recorded, mainly because at my stage in the industry (broke and nowhere) any extra person you can get listening to your music is a good thing. When you're where Metallica are at (one of the biggest names in the business) I can see how protecting your music could become a priority. They shot themselves in the foot image wise and eight years down the line now they're supporting it, the new album will be available for download on the day of release, live bootlegs of every concert they've played in years are available from their website (they've always supported recorders afaik which is something I admire in any band) and now they're working on DLC for Guitar Hero 3.

    Fair play to them I say.

    Trash, you going to be making a pilgrimage to Reading or Leeds to see them this year?

    Re: Metallica to simultaneously release "Death Magnetic" on Guitar Hero 3

    If the album ends up being pretty good, I can see myself downloading this. More Metallica in GH3 is always nice (and it'll help hold me over until GH: Metallica comes out early next year).
