Unofficially Confirmed: Metallica's Load In Rock Band
Xzyliac | 4:37 PM on 10.24.2008 5 comments


I know I'm not the coolest kid on the block but I try. So when I came across a Rock Band 2 forum post today with a NXE snapshot featuring an ad for a Metallica album in Rock Band I thought I was cool. That is until a certain forumite said it was weeks old. Well it's news to me dammit so here it goes!



Also, another interesting bit of news is a staff member over at ScoreHero posted a discovery in the .bin file of this weeks DLC. He revealed the song King Nothing from the album Loaded was in the file. Interesting, no?

------
"Just did my weekly check of the spa.bin (translation file) in the DLC files, and it looks like an extra one showed up in there this week - "King Nothing", which is a Metallica song from their Load album.

Here's a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3m4cypxU2I

This one's especially interesting to me because I didn't think there was any way we'd ever get more Metallica in RB, especially after Enter Sandman didn't make the jump to RB2.

Anyway, you know the drill, don't take it as official until properly announced, but being in the translation file has generally been a good sign in the past." - Deimos of ScoreHero

Now I am NO Metallica fan (hate 'em) but I do find it interesting that Load could be in RB. I mean One, Death Magnetic, and Trapped Under Ice are all featured in GH (plus the spin-off) and Battery and Enter Sandman both are in RB and now Load? They're very antsy to get into the game (no pun intended).

Pretty unusual considering GH:Metallica (while unconfirmed) seems likely.

And why Load of all albums, Master of Puppets!

I just want to play the first 20 seconds of "Master of Puppets" and I'll be more than happy. Oh, and "Creeping Death" wouldn't be bad either.

What was the not-intended pun in the last line of the blog? That flew way over my head.

Well since they got a new album out, it'd make sense that they'd want to shoot their Load everywhere.

@Char

He's referring to the rumor that the band members of metallica are comprised of legions of ants. I don't believe it myself, but it's quite pun-worthy.
