The band have uploaded more previously unreleased stuff from A Year And A Half In The Life Of Metallica…
Metallica are doing an awful lot to mark the 30th birthday of their landmark, self-titled ‘Black’ album. There’s a massive reissue box set featuring loads of extra goodies, and then there’s the 53-track Blacklist covers album, featuring reworkings of the record’s 12 tracks by a festival’s-worth of artists, including Biffy Clyro, Weezer, Corey Taylor, Ghost, Miley Cyrus, Elton John and IDLES – both out on September 10. Also: they’ve teamed up with Vans to make some wicked trainers.
They’re also going to be putting out a wealth of unseen material from their A Year And A Half In The Life Of Metallica fly-on-the-wall documentary. Spoiler alert – they become massive. Anyway, they’ve just released a new trailer for the unseen stuff, featuring the band in the studio with lion-haired producer Bob Rock, and a bit where Lars looks very pleased with himself as he drives around in a Porsche. Check it out…
And on top of all that, they're touring later this year. Catch Metallica live at a festival this autumn, in San Fran this December or in Europe next summer.
