Virginia State Police are fairly confident that they have located the body of Morgan Harrington. She was the Metallica fan who turned up missing during a concert of theirs on October 27, 2009.

She was 20-years-old and a student at Virginia Tech.

CNN reports:

Police said skeletal remains were found in a hay field on a 700-acre farm with no public access point.

RIP.

In the longest running feud in forever, Dave Mustaine has finally shed some light on why he was kicked out of Metallica.

In a new interview, he said that it wasn’t just an issue over his drinking that was to blame for his dismissal. He reveals that James Hetfield kicked his dog! What an ape. (continue reading…)

Metallica performed one of their metal masterpieces, “Master Of Puppets“, along with “Enter Sandman” at last night’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony. The event took place right here in Cleveland.

Check out “Master of Puppets“:

Along with “Enter Sandman“:

Two songs by them that I can get behind. And welcome back to the Metallica stage, Jason Newsted! The band has really not been the same without ya, man.

Among those inducted were former bassist Ron McGovney, along with Ray Burton, the father of the late Cliff Burton (RIP).

Check out the two new commercials for “Guitar Hero: Metallica” that just surfaced.

Yeah! Blow up that house! Can’t wait to play some of their older stuff, before they sold out.

Metallica had to cancel their Stockholm concert on Sunday, after frontman James Hetfield was taken to the hospital for dehydration.

Lars Ulrich broke the news to the audience:

I can’t imagine what it’s like to tell 16,000 people that you can’t play, minutes before the show was about to start.

After Jennifer Hudson gave an emotional performance in a stunning black dress, Emily Proctor and Jason Mraz took the stage to introduce the Jonas Brothers along with Stevie Wonder.

Blink 182 took the stage afterwards to announce that “Blink 182 is back!” They announced the winner of the Best Rock Album Grammy.

Coldplay won again! It must be their year. I’m not amused. How did they beat out Metallica or Kid Rock?

On the new version of the Guitar Hero franchise, comes “Guitar Hero: Metallica“. And the track listing has just been revealed. I know, like three days ago. I’m not a big fan of Metallica as much as I used to be. I’m still holding out for “Guitar Hero: Led Zeppelin” or “Guitar Hero: Songs That Don’t Suck“.

Here’s the track listing for the songs by Metallica as well as other bands. I’m stoked to see some older Metallica on the list, as well as Motorhead’s best song, “Ace of Spades”, Suicidal Tendencies, and Slayer.

Call me old school, but they can take their “No Leaf Clover” and stick it up Lars Ulrich’s assets.

Favorites: Battery, Creeping Death, Disposable Heroes, Master of Puppets, and Sad But True.
The Suck: Frantic, Fuel, All Nightmare Long.
My Beefs: Where’s “Gotta Kill Captain Stupid” by Suicidal Tendencies and “Angel Of Death” by Slayer?

Here’s the track listing:

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in reference to James Hetfield and/or Metallica in a long time.

Now sing it like One.

Can you do better?

He’s introducing the Metallica Youtube channel….blah blah blah, he still sucks. Tool.

I just got finished listening to the new Metallica song, The Day That Never Comes, and I have to say that I’m not really impressed. This song sounds a lot like their stuff from the Black album, mixed in with the riff from Bleeding Me.

Are you feeling the new Metallica? Have you even checked it out yet? I just think it’s bad when the video is better than the actual song. Just sayin’. Weren’t you hoping for some of the harder earlier-like stuff?

You know there are several bands out there that you would erase from history if you could. It might be the Backstreet Boys, for some, and rappers like DMX for others. Here’s my list:

I would have to start with 80′s one-hit wonder, Stryper. They only produced one really good hit and that was Honestly. They did their whole ‘yellow and black attack’ thing and was really just a blemish on the entire music scene.

Michael Sweet (and the fact that I know his name scares me) had his little fluffy ‘do and headband and sang whatever message about God that he was trying to inflict upon us. Run. Now.

Gone! Next up would be EMF. Another one-hit wonder and they suckkkkkkkked. Their only contribution was a song called Unbelievable and it was so freaking annoying. That song always made me cringe every time I heard it. “You’re unbelievable! Oh!” Jesus, someone please stab me in the eye with a fork already.

This song got way too much airplay in the 90′s. What have they done for you lately?

Next up on the chopping block would be the Fine Young Cannibals. Why, you may ask? Just because.

Have a listen and then see if you can still ask that:

That was the epitome of suck in a song that really sticks in your head. Sorry about that.

Rick Astley is next on my list. He was brought back to fame when everyone started Rick Rolling each other. It was never really that good in the first place. He sounded too throaty and his music makes me wanna kill myself. Thanks mom for all of those neverending Rick Astley songs. I’ll sleep easy when he’s gone.

Yech.

And last up, I’d wipe out Metallica after they came out with And Justice For All….Why, cuz they lost their groove. They were so metal and then Lars Ulrich had to open his mouth about Napster and look like a total douchebag. They haven’t put out anything since Justice that is worth listening to. Metallica is dead to me, musically, but I’ll still report on the stupid crap that they do.

That’s a good song right there…..all else is not the Metallica that I grew up with and came to love/hate.

Who’s on your list?

What do you think of Metallica’s new stuff??? Does it suck or is it tolerable?

As much as I don’t care for any of Metallica’s newer crap, I might just pick up the Guitar Hero: Metallica offering that Activision will be releasing next year. I’ll definitely pick it up if they have anything from their older, cooler days. Like, say, Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets.

They are second in getting a Guitar Hero of their very own, Aerosmith’s is due to be released this summer.

Will you play either of them?

According to Blabbermouth, Metallica was looking to have Megadeth play with them in Moscow. If I were Dave Mustaine, I’d tell James Hetfield to suck it. Their music hasn’t been good since the Black album, and that’s being nice. That album wasn’t a real credit to their older talent (ie: Master of Puppets) and Metallica should count themselves lucky that Dave Mustaine ever played with them.

Megadeth rocks. That’s just my two cents.
