Yet another unreleased Metallica song…

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.

Metallica release another unreleased song

After performing (and later releasing a studio version online) an unreleased track from the Death Magnetic sessions, Metallica have released another new track from the recording of Death Magnetic.

The song is called ‘Just a Bullet Away’ and is a lot better than ‘Hate Train’ in my opinion. That said, it’s still nothing mindblowing. A few decent riffs, a nice instrumental mid section and some mediocre vocals. Check it out below.

In other news, the band apparently performed some Lulu tracks with Lou Reed, played a song with Kid Rock, and I thanked my lucky stars I wasn’t there to witness the massacre.

Unreleased Death Magnetic track is online

Metallica are currently  celebrating their 30th anniversary by playing a bunch of small gigs for their fans, and apparently they played an unreleased Death Magnetic song last night. Then they released the studio version of the song for free. It’s called ‘Hate Train,’ which is exactly what has headed their way after they released Lulu.

I can’t say I like the song, the intro is pretty catchy but the rest of the song is a bit off, and it reminds me a lot of ‘Fuel.’ Oh well, judge for yourselves:

Darren Aronofsky is the table

Oscar nominated director Darren Aronofsky directed a pretentious video from Loutallica. You can watch it above…

I honestly don’t know how they got this guy to direct a music video for a song off of LULZ-U, but hey, I guess Darren’s movies focus a lot on psychotic characters, obsession, going crazy — Exactly what I went through while listening to Lulu, so actually, it’s a good fit.

If you haven’t seen his debut film Pi, tough shit, cause I’m gonna spoil it for you. The character drills his head at the end. The only way to get rid of the Lulu sounds, if I’m honest.

Shakira is a huge Metallica fan

According to a recent interview, Colombian pop star Shakira is a huge Metallica fan. Apparently she loved “Nothing Else Matters” when it came out, and she has covered it live.

“I used to be a huge Metallica fan when I was 15, 16 years old. I remember I was graduating from high school back then and I used to sing ‘Nothing Else Matters’ all day long. I am still a very huge Metallica fan, though. [And] I thought it would be kind of surprising to include it in my repertoire for this tour.“

She’s still a huge Metallica fan? She obviously hasn’t heard Lulu yet.
