Dave Grohl and drummer
Taylor Hawkins. The pair will sit down with
METALLICA for a live broadcast from
'TALLICA HQ on Thursday, September 4, giving an exclusive look into one of the most anticipated albums of 2008.
METALLICA made it official with the following post on its web site: "You may have heard a little something about a radio show being broadcast live from our very own HQ . . . well, we figured it would be a lot more fun if we invited some
'TALLICA fans to come hang with us and low and behold, one thing led to another and
FOO FIGHTERS'
Dave Grohl and
Taylor Hawkins actually said 'yes!' So on Thursday, September 4, we're going to hang out, play tracks from
'Death Magnetic' and chat with
Dave and
Taylor."

Earlier this year,
Grohl told
Metal Hammer magazine how psyched he was for
METALLICA's return.
Grohl said, "I can't wait to hear the new shit, and no matter what you guys do I'll always be first one at the shop waiting to hear it. I'm sure you'll come out and blow everybody's fuckin' minds, because you're fuckin'
METALLICA! Good luck. And don't release it until it's kick-ass." He jokingly added, "P.S. Are you finished recording the drums yet?"
