Songs don’t make the cut for a reason. They’re not good enough. So releasing them after a few years is as bad as being caught without makeup if you’re a hot celebrity chick with a bad acne problem. That’s how I see it, anyway.
But in celebration of 30 years of Metallica (and my metal math says 9 years of actual Metallica and 21 years of trying to jump on other bandwagons), the guys are playing a few shows in San Francisco with a bunch of guests (like Jason Newsted) and shit. It’s pretty cool, and apparently they play an unreleased Death Magnetic song each night and then release the studio version of it online.
Something along those lines, anyway… Fuck you, I didn’t really research this.
Anyway, the third unreleased song hit the interwebz — It’s called ‘Hell and Back,’ and it describes what I went through to avoid Lulu.
