I thought the beauty of being (as big as) Metallica is not having to play private gigs and corporate parties. I guess I was wrong, cause Metallica will perform at the new Call of Duty game party. Exciting.
“Our friends over at Activision, the fine folks who bring you the ‘Guitar Hero’ games, noticed a small hole in the Metalli-tour schedule in between Australian dates and rang us up to invite us to the launch of their next ‘Call Of Duty’ game, ‘Black Ops’. One thing led to another and next thing we know, we’re playing at the party!!!“

Seriously, I think this is a tad unflattering. Ricky Gervais turned down £1,000,000 to be flown to China and play a small corporate stand-up gig because he thought it was demeaning and that he wasn’t for sale, and his net worth is probably what Lars spends once a week at art auctions.
But I will let it slide since they are in a relationship with Activision and there’s one redeeming quality about this:
“Tickets will not go on sale, but we have a limited number of passes for Fan Club members to attend. If you’re a Met Club member and will be in the L.A. area in a few days, head over to www.metclub.com to find out how you can win a pair of tickets.“
They are running a free lottery for fans for a chance to be there, and bring a friend too. If you’re in MetClub and can make it, try your luck.
