Metallica - Entire New Album Available For Guitar Hero


From the band's MySpace blog:

"Death Magnetic," the entire album will be available for Guitar Hero too!

It's a first in both music and gaming - the same day that "Death Magnetic" hits the streets, you'll be able to download every song from the album for "Guitar Hero III!" We are so psyched that we'll be the first out of the gate with this simultaneous release... who knows, maybe a few years from now this will be the norm when your favorite band's new record comes out.

And for those of you who are anxiously awaiting the next Guitar Hero, "World Tour," we're ready for that too - you will be able to experience "Death Magnetic" for drums, vocals, and guitar when that game emerges this Fall."

The album cover for Metallica's new album ''Death Magnetic'' has been revealed recently. Cover image, wallpapers, icons and more can be found here.

i saw something either on TV or on yahoo that was talking about how bands might start releasing albums in conjunction with guitar hero or with their own guitar hero or whatever. music is going to die that way.

guitar hero is destroying music culture. at first i thought it was just a game and maybe it'll get some people to listen to "good" music. but its getting rediculous. instead of people saying "i like this song" they say "i can play it 100% on expert".

I think Guitar Hero is a double edged sword. It exposes some musically ignorant people to some better music, but at the same time... some people will "like" the music for all the wrong reasons... I am not going to condemn Guitar Hero. It is not destroying music culture. It can't get much worse than it already is (at least here in the states)...

One thing that does piss me off about the latest Guitar Hero:

The ANNOYING and MINDLESS fans of Dragonforce it has spawned with Through the Fire and the Flames being on it.

is anyone actually suprised by this move? Do you think metallica is above another sellout. I think we have all forgotten that LARS NEEDS A NEW GOLD PLATED SHARK TANK!

have we learnt nothing? Just because they wrote afew fucking great thrash albums afew years back, doesn't mean they're worth a sack of shit now.

TBH this might be killing the music industry or perhaps not....only the bands who turn really shit in the first place will do stupid crap like releasing albums for guitar hero. You wont exactly find any metal bands who still make decent music to even be approached by the makers of guitar hero because the music has to be of a certain "friendly-ish" sound i suppose. Lets face it....I doubt that if Metallica released the "Black" album or whatnot now that the whole album would feature on guitar hero as some sort of "Metallica Edition" for the game. If you make shit metal that sound a little gay its the perfect recipe for a guitar hero game I guess. Only my 2 cents..

The only bug i have with guitar hero is the amount of people saying they like a band eg. dragonforce, and only saying they like dragonforce and only listening to through the fire and flames. and the same with other bands. eg slayer, iron maiden etc

that is my only issue with guitar hero. But with metallica, wat do you expect releasing their whole album with guitar hero = more money, more fans, even if the album is shit
IMO CLiff burton was metallica

Honestly, I believe GH and RB are great channels to introduce people to new music (To be completely honest this is how I find out about other music which isn't metal), but if it starts leading to the above problems then it could be a dark day in music.
Actually, a bit of a VG history lesson, Its actually GH I'd be more afraid of ruining things (since its owned by activision), Rock Band is actually developed by the old developers of Guitar Hero (The 1st 2 games), and Harmonix is MUCH more willing to use more underground music than Activision. IDK, jst had to shout that out for some reason.

I don't see where's the problem, it mixes two great things, music and videogames. Well in that case i assume it's only going to be one great thing, since that album will suck donkey balls

not if you download them illegally you see, there's some good in this, hopefully the bands will see the error of this way and put it on the web for free or just stop releasing guitar hero packs.

How many people do you think will actually buy this album? I'm sure both people who adored Metallica and those who hated their music will download it just to spite them.
