Have you ever dreamed of seeing Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Def Leppard, and Motley Crue on the same bill? Well, this year you can! Sort of. As long as you’re cool with only seeing individual members of the bands — and you live in South America.

Metallica will headline both nights of their own two-day music festival on June 23 and 24 in Atlantic City N.J., reportedly performing their entire self-titled “Black Album” at one show and 1984′s ‘Ride the Lightning’ at the other.

Metallica have something big scheduled for Tuesday (Feb. 7) at 11 AM PT (2 PM ET), although what it is exactly is totally up in the air. The metal mavens have posted a 34-second teaser video featuring footage of fans cheering at a concert, with the phrase “You’ve seen them at festivals across the world” flashed across the screen ...

Metallica just celebrated their first thirty years as a band, and now, they’re off and running into their next thirty. The band has begun to work on songs for the follow up to ‘Death Magnetic,’ a record which many saw as a real return to form...

A slew of big time rock ‘n’ rollers and other high-profile fans have sent in video testimonials to mark Metallica‘s 30th anniversary, which the band celebrated last week with a four-night stand of concerts at the Fillmore Theater in their hometown of San Francisco.

Everyone knows about the constantly fluctuating exchange rates between the American dollar and foreign currency, but most people don’t give any thought to how it might impact rockers’ touring plans.

Metallica have unearthed a second previously unreleased outtake from their ‘Death Magnetic’ sessions and now the song, titled ‘Just a Bullet Away,’ is streaming online below.

Metallica are offering up what can be considered a sonic Christmas gift for fans. A studio version of the previously unheard song ‘Hate Train’ from the ‘Death Magnetic’ sessions has popped up online, at the same time the band played it at the first of their recent 30th anniversary shows.

We haven’t heard a word from Lou Reed & Metallica in awhile — and just when we were starting to think we had heard from them for the last time out comes this from the “Loutallica” camp: the Darren Aronofsky-directed video for the first ‘Lulu’ single, ‘The View.’

In news that should prove far more exciting for Metallica fans than their recent collaboration with Lou Reed, the metal legends have announced plans to perform their multi-platinum self-titled effort — commonly referred to as ‘The Black Album’ — in its entirety next year.

Critical reaction to ‘Lulu,’ Lou Reed‘s new collaborative album with Metallica has been tepid at best, as our roundup of quotes demonstrates. The media’s arrows are not nearly as sharp and dangerous as those flung by fans of the metal band however. In an interview with USA Today, Reed admits he’s not popular amongst the Metallica faithful.

Metallica‘s first trip to India isn’t turning out quite the way they had planned. The metal mavens were scheduled to play their first-ever concert there Friday (Oct. 28) in the city of Gurgaon, but after 20,000 fans turned up and became irate after waiting several hours for the gig to start, a stampede caused barricades to collapse. Promoters then decided to postpone the show until Saturday, and t
