    :o)

    Tasker, I think Meh-tallica always does cool things for it fans, this “listening party” being one of them. I hope their fans are allowed to attend this “listening party” free of charge.

      I doubt it will be free. In fact, I think it’s a genius move by Metallica. Considering so many people simply refuse to buy cds and vinyl anymore, this will be a quick cash grab to make up for lost sales.

      No doubt they’ll charge for the Movie Ticket at the listening event like they did for the S&M2 release. I know they’re making a killing on the upcoming 2 year tour that’s for sure. Threw down $1500 for my family of 3 for the Seattle show and that’s with only one enhanced deal. My wallet is gutted.

      They are brilliant business innovators. \m/ \m/ I’ve always been impressed on how they include their fans and come up with unique shows & concepts that set a high bar for the Metal World.

    These 2 songs that they released are kind of weak tracks. I don’t know if their record deal was to put out a release at this time or the band got together and said what great new music we have. And we want to release this to the world.
    I hope there are better tracks on this. A thought of a new Metallica release is exciting.
    A couple of very good releases that I am listening to now are Stephen Pearcy’s A View to a Thrill. It’s a very good release. Kind of short. The band sounds tight. Stephen voice is in top knoch. Not a bad song on it! Also Candlemass’s Sweet Evil Sun. Which is riff heavy, not as good as their last one the song writing. It is mostly very good songs. It’s nice to hear the original singer back with the band!
