Metallica's 'Death Magnetic' coming to Guitar Hero III and World Tour photo

Today, Metallica announced on their official Web site that their upcoming album, Death Magnetic, will be available for download on Guitar Hero III the day it debuts in stores. If only being able to act like a guitarist is not enough to suit your fancy, don’t worry. Death Magnetic will also be available on Guitar Hero World Tour this fall.

I always wanted an opportunity to play the drums like Lars, or groan like Hetfield. I wonder if this upcoming album will be able to match the inspiring records of old. Hopefully, we won’t be bothered with another “St. Anger.” What the hell was with Lars’ drum kit on that CD anyway? It sounded like he had a cat tethered across the snare.

According to GuitarHeroNews, the album is set to drop this September. No price point or exact date has been pinpointed as of yet. What do you guys think of this move? I always visualized playing some of Metallica’s older stuff, like what has been previously offered -- not necessarily a brand new album. Do you think this will open doors to the entire Metallica library?

i was quite the metallica fan in high school. i listend to some samples of their new stuff, and it reminded me of "...And Justice for All" or "Ride the Lightning". so i'm cautiously hopeful.

neat that they're embracing it like this.

Im not a huge fan of this because we as the consumer dont know if the album will be utter shit. Just give us the best of collections, Damnit.

Are you serious? YOU GO TO HELL!

I respect all of metallicas work except St.Anger.
And there wil never, ever ever be another album like master of puppets. It might sound trendy to say that, but if you can write music that stands taller than even most heavy bands today, production wise and song writing wise...then fuckin' A.

Wasn't it confirmed previously that all GHIII DLC would work in GH:WT as well? If so, I hope it's true for something like an entire album, because having to rebuy it for two more parts would suck.

Necros, Kotaku said yes but Shacknews and IGN said no. I'm inclined to believe the latter.
