Activision’s Guitar Hero World Tour is probably one of this year’s most eagerly anticipated games, but the company has big news for fans that still need something new to rock out with until then. Metallica will be releasing its next album, Death Magnetic, as a Guitar Hero III download on the same day that the CD arrives in stores.
“It’s exciting, 27 years into your career, to be doing something first,” said Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. “In five to 10 years it’ll be a normal thing to release an album to Guitar Hero the same day as the record.”

Ulrich stated that “It’s exciting…to be doing something first.” They were first at something before this. Back in 2000, Ulrich and Hetfield were one of the first groups to spearhead a lawsuit against Napster because their discography was available for free download. Stealing music is pretty weak, but coming from a band who billed themselves as anti-establishment and created music for “the people,” this position was too ironic to ignore. Their hypocrisy lost me as a fan, and I’m sure decimated much of their core audience. Now, eight years on, it’s hilarious to see them finally embrace the digital age and act like it was some sort of groundbreaking vision only they alone were capable of dreaming up.
It’s amazing how attitudes change when you discover your fans have long since moved on, and no one cares anymore.
