METALLICA To Debut New Single Via 'Rock Band' Video Game?
- Nov. 28, 2007
|
|
According to 1UP.com, Paul DeGooyer, MTV's senior vice president of home entertainment, has told the Rocky Mountain News that MTV and Harmonix plan to debut new music exclusively on the Rock Band video game — and one of the first could be a doozy. "There are a couple of things we've committed to, one of them with METALLICA for example," DeGooyer said. "They've reserved the right to give us their first single from their new album for the game." DeGooyer also said that while a Rock Band-themed show on MTV isn't currently in the works, it's not something that hasn't been considered. "The risk is that a show would be put together that's not very good," DeGooyer said. "We need the right concept, one that looks at how gamers engage with the game. There really isn't this impetus to put the wrong show up. The game speaks for itself."

So any metal band that has let music of theirs be used on a video game are sell-outs?

It is and endless loop of people saying metallica have sold out, and then bringing up something that dave mustaine did worse for how many years now???
since fade to black was put on ride the lightening......
I was not even born yet when that was released......am I seriously the only person that sees that honestly??
if you really were upset by something metallica did you should have gave up on them a long time ago......
The first metallica album I ever heard was Reload, you know what because I WAS IN 5th or 6th grade!
I soon got the rest of their catalogue........I love heavy metal , but I also dig artists from other genres, and I happen to think the self titled-reload were pretty damn good mix of hard rock/classic rock/and heavy metal.
PLUS WHO THE FUCK ELSE WAS COVERING MOTORHEAD, THE MISFITS, MERCYFUL FATE, THIN LIZZY, BLITZKRIEG, DIAMOND HEAD, HOLOCAUST, DISCHARGE, BUDGIE, and MOTORHEAD in the 90's and 00's......
oh yeah might as well add, cliff was AMAZING.....
jason kicked ass too!

you know one bad album out of about 10 is a pretty damn good career. hell if your one of those people that hate the loads 7 good albums out of 10 is still pretty damn good. woop dee fucking doo if they are in a videogame. so are megadeth, maiden, motorhead, and anthrax. i guess they all suck too huh? and its not like they are gonna just relese their single on rock band. Blabbermouths headlines have fooled you as usual. it never says that. it just says that metallica promised the single to be available for download. they didnt say it would debut on the game. even if it was how would it be greedy? i think if that was the only way to get the song it would be a bad buisness move. they wouldnt get as much money from it. Greedy my ass. you guys are fucking idiots

Childish albums? Never listened to any then. Subjects like drug addiction, bereavement and the horror war are childish to you? Metallica are guilty of many things , including this latest fiasco if it happens, but childish? People who don't like metal think the whole genre is childish don't join the herd.

Lol, some of the responses here are funny. It's like some people are whining because they want so badly to be haters, and they're afraid that Metallica will somehow thwart their plans. How dare Metallica not release the single immediately to radio, so these guys can slam the material in front of all their friends!

Ahhh you never can tell. Which makes it oh so interesting doesn't it?
I would imagine it will be harder and heavier than the Reload albums and proberbly more focused than St Anger. With a new producer it will be more fresher too, with a different angle coming from Rubin. Who face it has produced far greater albums than that other tosser.

Doing videos is also selling out. James and Lars used to say that all the untill 1989.
Their fame is built by suport from real metal ppl and when they got big, they turned their back.

Since bands these dayz WONT make money off of album sales, they are finding new wayz to make money. So fuckin more the power to them. KSE did it with Guitar Hero 3, and there album sales have SKY rocketed. People judge bands making "money" as selling out. It pisses me off cause half if not all of these people would NEVER work a 9-5 job for free. Half if not all of these people would NEVER live in a van for a year PERIOD. So until you've given up EVERYTHING in life to do music, and then to finally make money at the onething you fuckin love, what the fuck is wrong with people??

________________________________
I would love to make money making music, but if I had to change my style and turn my back on my entire fanbase - then fuck no - I'd keep doing the same thing I had been doing and slowly building to that already incredibly loyal fanbase.
I used to be a huge Metallica fan, but they've pissed me off too many times. I'm still hoping Rubin has what it takes to turn them around, but something tells me it's just not gonna happen.
Metallica is done. At least we still have Death Angel, Testament, Exodus, Kreator, Sodom, and to some extent, Megadeth.

When is the last time that you sold a record? Oh yeah, that's right you haven't even moved out of your parents house yet. So if you think you can do better, why don't you get to work and give it a shot. Maybe that way you can spare all of us and your parents from listening to your bullshit.

I agree, at the very least the record will sound good.
I still don't understand the confusion of ideas that resulted in Metallica releasing a badly recorded rehearsal demo. I can only assume it was lethal arrogance on the part of the band.

I will be rediculously happy. The new album will kick ass and if I can already play the one of the new songs on the game before the cd even comes out, that will me amazing. I love Metallica.
***********
So you're going to learn the new Metallica song by playing Simon Says on your video game guitar? Why not just do some finger tapping on your tennis racket as well? I get great harmonics from my graphite Wilson :)
And remember folks, go for the sheep gut tennis strings, nylon doesn't give you enough distortion :)

ONE bad album? How about everything they've released since the black album? With the exception of Garage, Inc. which featured NO original music.
I go way back with Metallica - I had a crappy, dubbed copy of "Kill 'Em All" back in 1984 and got "RTL" as soon as it came out. It's sad to watch a once great band sink to the lazy songwriting and lack of respect for the old fans that these clowns show. The spirit of the band got killed and they never recovered. It's sad. I don't hate them but I don't support them anymore. I can't listen to that boring, middle-aged rock they play now.
The Metallisheep who keep supporting their lameness made me sad.

youre all overexaggerating. its a good promotional tool, a lot of kids will play this song over and over to get a high score but by then it will be stuck in their heads.
and for people who do not like the game, its not like you wont be hearing the single. it might take a little longer, but who cares? its not such a big deal.
a bigger deal is if the new single is worth listening to at all...

I’m very pro Metallica for starters. If people are getting mad because they are releasing a new single through a game then it’s probably because they don’t have a xbox360 of a ps3. If they do have one or the other and are STILL mad, it’s probably because they don’t have the game Rock Band. If they have all that and still find the anger building up, it’s just cuz they see the name Metallica in the headline on the main page and just want to bitch.
Metallica is STILL to this day doing BRAND NEW things with their music. Despite being around for 20+ years, they have managed to STILL find NEW ways to get their music heard and picked up. How many bands can do that? Not many. What other things have they done you ask? Well with St. Anger they did give you a dvd with the ENTIRE album being jammed. Live shit was one of the FIRST original box sets. They are the ONLY band that has cancelled a show in my town and actually came back for FREE! Well they still played but James Hetfield was injured and not there, so they played and STILL came back as a full band. It doesn’t matter what this band does or how badass the albums are…there are always people out there that think they aren’t good, or they’re sellouts or whatever, but with some whiney excuse… it just makes your argument moot. Moot is another word for “pointless waste of bitching”.
Can’t wait for the new song on the game or radio or wherever. The new album will be amazing.

I got into metal late (17 years old, 1988) so I first heard Metallica when my friend played me the songs Fade to Black and Last Caress (GD RR'd was the most current album at the time)and when Justice came out I stood in line....I was into hip hop (still am) and reggae (still am) and hardcore, rock, pop, etc.
It so weird/puzzling how some "metal heads" want to hold grudges and judge the music by what kind of person they think is playing it etc. "I won't give them another penny of my money after the blah blah incident" or "oh I heard he did this to so and so" or "was in kahoots with so and so when they threw eggs at so and so". Who cares? Do you rock live? does your album rock? Does it hold up to multiple listenings? Is it all potatoes and no meat? I know MANY bands that ROCK live but you can barely remember a single individual song they played when you leave. Know what I mean?
If I wanted to hold every single artist to some sort of conduct, political, ethical, etc code of conduct...I wouldn't listen to half of the cool music that I enjoy. The media provides us with a lot of access these days and thats a good and bad thing.
I've played in heavy rock/metal bands for over half my life (2 bands 89-present) and I think it's all rock and roll and you have to judge an album as an individual piece of art. Judging and dissecting every little riff and filtering that through what you think you know about the players in the band is a silly practice.
Rock and roll should be instinctive. Does it rock? I'm so tired of guys hating stuff because it's not supposed to be cool.
I've wanted to hate Phil Anselmo's guts many times (less drinking onstage when you are already fucking up the lyrics in front of 40K people, you penis!!), but if Down- NOLA came out tomorrow, l'd still say it's one of the most amazing, kickass, heavy, timeless albums I've ever, ever heard.
Less sheep. More open minds. You don't have to wait for your cool friend to tell you it's cool or listen when he tells you it's not cool. Rant over.

Im a metal fan and will only buy a album if " I " like it. Not because of who they are. I thank Metallica for that. I was stupid enough to buy St anger before I heard it and we all know how that turned out. I dont care who they are Metallica, Testament, Exodus, Iced Earth( new album is horrible imo), Or even Nevermore. I buy a album for good music all around that includes the recording of it. If it sounds like shit I dont want to listen to it. I think it was Enemies Of Reality by Nevermore that when they first released it was recorded horrible. I did however buy the remastered version when they put it out.
Basically everyone should only buy a album if they like it and not because you like, love or respect the the band. There are enough "sheep" in this world today That like a band or song because its played on the radio or played on MTV and the music industry tells them to like it to be "cool". make up your own mind and listen to what you want.
As for Metallica putting the new song on the video game? I could care less. I dont have time to play video games or the money to spend on them. And if I did I wouldnt play nor buy a game that I would get bored with after 15 mins.

Also, you people crying about SELLOUTS... get over it already. Are you honestly saying you don't want to get PAID for what you do? At least try to come up with something original to say. And for those of you crying about how you are not going to buy the game just to hear the new single... COME ON! Do you think any radio station in their right mind would allow this single to be out there and NOT get a copy of it to play it? HELL! I know as soon as possible... I will get a copy and spin it. That way EVERYONE CAN HEAR IT.
