Metallica debuts "stupid" instrumental song off Death Magnetic

James Hetfield (c) Stereo Warning 2007-2009. All Rights Reserved Metallica performed live "Suicide & Redemption," the Grammy-nominated instrumental track from their latest album, "Death Magnetic" for the first time in the band's history at tonight's show in Copenhagen. James Hetfield, in announcing the song, asked Lars Ulrich whether he should tell the crowd the song title, then said he wouldn't, because "it's a stupid title anyway." He did eventually mention it after finishing the song. The show, the fourth out of five the band is playing in Copenhagen, also featured another seldom played Metallica song, "Dyer's Eve." It was a messy but very fast rendition of the "...And Justice For All" crowd favorite, which Hetfield seemed to bring to a satisfactory conclusion only through sheer willpower. During the encore, the band stopped playing their Merciful Fate medley after messing up repeatedly through the first two verses, but it was unclear if the screw-ups were on purpose or not.

Back in business

Hi guys, sorry for the lenghty silence, we've had mad problems with movable type and eventually had to delete the blog completely and reinstall everything. We were too lazy to repost everything we had done over the past year, but we have published again the interviews that had the most readers -- and that were still newsworthy and timely, like the one with Robert Smith or the one with Trent Reznor.

So enjoy, and keep watching this space, cuz we're gonna publish an interview with Lars Ulrich from Metallica that one of our friends has translated from a Danish magazine. Stick around!

Metallica plays songs for label; verdict? A-ok!


The release of Metallica's Death Magnetic.

If you're a fan, this has got to be good news: the boys have brought a finished song to their record label, Warner and played it for the execs. Yes, the good news continues: label sources tell Stereo Warning that the song was "heavy" and "brutal" but also "punkish." I don't know about you, but to us that sounds kinda like "Ride The Lightning." Can anyone say "Creeping Death"? One can only hope, right?
