Making an appearance over on Metallica's official web space is a fresh trailer for next year's upcoming Guitar Hero: Metallica. A game that is still yet to be officially announced, mentioned or even uttered by the PR folks at Activision. No matter, because Metallica isn't afraid to promote the game as is obvious by the latest trailer. Enjoy the video goods after the break and be sure to ride the lightning in 2009.

Hetfield looks like a zombie.

You should be in bed little Dustin.
Dustin Burg @ Dec 21st 2008 4:19AM
Agreed.
Pudge @ Dec 21st 2008 4:26AM
So, I wonder if it's actually coming out. This all could still be a rumor...
Tann @ Dec 21st 2008 5:18AM
OMG I CAN'T WAIT!=DDD
Evan @ Dec 21st 2008 12:53PM
I don't understand why they have 20 guest artists.. the game is call guitar hero metallica - not guitar hero metallica w/ friends. just like the aerosmith - there are barely any aerosmith songs - it's mostly their friends. it's bs.
Justin @ Dec 21st 2008 6:27AM
1. Pudge you must be mentally challenged
2. NO WAY would I EVER buy this, Metallica wants me in jail if I download a few of there songs but drop a new cd and now videogame in a recession and want me to buy them....RIIGGHHHTTTT Ill buy quality games but not blatant money ploys from artists and publishers
3. Does anyone even care about this since it looks exactly like GH:Aerosmith and we've already had Metallica music on Guitar Hero?Its not like OMG FINALLY Metallica I can play "enter sandman" uhh I did that a year ago on Rockband no thanks
angrhead @ Dec 21st 2008 6:32AM
It is supposedly harder than the other GH games.
But mainly it's for fans of Metallica (Like GH:A was for Aerosmith fans) and since I am a fan of them, f**k yeah!
CrustyManMeat @ Dec 21st 2008 7:16AM
Fuck Metallica. I lost all respect for them during the Napster bullshit and since then they have just released complete and utter shite. Saint Anger, Saint Fuckin Shit more like.
Alex @ Dec 21st 2008 8:59AM
I lost respect for them after they released Death Magnetic. I could get over the hideousness of St. Anger, but DM was just silly.
Club80 @ Dec 21st 2008 9:12AM
Was it ever an option to respect those guys?
CrustyManMeat @ Dec 21st 2008 9:17AM
In the beginning it was. You forget how goos Metallica were once. Now they are just a shit sucking money machine. So fuck them.
ToRo @ Dec 21st 2008 12:52PM
Dude, your so full of shit. Death Magnetic was not as good as AJFA or Ride the Lightning, but it was still miles better than St. Anger. I actually banged my head while listening to death magnetic.
It's a solid album in my opinion, it's a great come back for the band.
CrustyManMeat @ Dec 21st 2008 1:01PM
LOL your funny.
Jacob @ Dec 21st 2008 7:46PM
Fuck Metallica? That my good sir is blasphemy.
1. It wasn't the band it was just the drummer Lars Ulrich.
2. It will be better than Aerosmith because Aerosmith had the worst setlist ever!
3. This has The Unforgiven, Master of Puppets, Whiskey in a Jar.
Mikemyerz666 @ Dec 21st 2008 11:31PM
st anger was garbage, death magnetic was actually surprisingly good, not their original stuff, but as close as they'll probably get
rookie.of.the.year @ Dec 21st 2008 9:00AM
I'd be interested, but the way they've ratcheted up the difficulty since Neversoft took over kind of puts me off. I'm no slouch, but I don't have the time nor the patience to get as good as you need to to really enjoy these recent efforts. Plus, the developers don't seem to want you to have fun with it all, it's far more about it being challenging, which is fair enough, but I don't want to feel like playing a song is a chore.
DBoyFlex @ Dec 21st 2008 9:35AM
I agree. I like a good challenge, but I like to play to relax mostly. I will pass on this. RB 2 still has me rocking plenty with bands I like much more than Metallica.
Hafk @ Dec 22nd 2008 10:33AM
Guitar Hero: World Tour was too easy for me.
Hell, I thought Visions on Rock Band 2 was harder than Satch Boogie in World Tour.
yo momma @ Dec 21st 2008 9:45AM
this is the 1 guitar hero game i will be buying
DukeFett @ Dec 21st 2008 9:48AM
Death Magnetic is a great album, I highly doubt they're putting anything from St. Anger on here. I won't buy this for $60 but I'll buy it when it gets cheaper.
Even though theres 20 other artists on here, I'm wagering that they'll be in line with music I like. So I'm looking forward to it.
BFBeast666 @ Dec 21st 2008 9:58AM
Well, at least playing their drum parts will be easy. Lars Ulrich = worst drummer ever.
Arno @ Dec 21st 2008 10:00AM
Ok let's get this straight: anyone who thought St. Anger was better than Death Magnetic need to have their head examined. Anyone who thought Death Magnetic wasn't a good probably also didn't like the Black album and therefore needs their head examined. Not saying the two are equal but the style is certainly similar.
Joe @ Dec 21st 2008 10:24AM
They should put Newsted and Burton for the older songs. In which case the new guy will appear for only 1% of the game.
Jer @ Dec 21st 2008 11:13AM
The first music game to be published complete with a virtual band therapy campaign.
JB @ Dec 21st 2008 11:40AM
I hope they put a demo of this out at some stores so I can try it out. But all the guitar hero drums at the store are broke so yeah that sucks.
un4gvn94538 @ Dec 21st 2008 11:45AM
the good the bad and the ugly theme music was a nice touch in the trailer.
Mazrael @ Dec 22nd 2008 12:51PM
definatly ties in with the 3 era's of Metallica..
the old stuff - the true metallica
the stuff from black to SA
& the new crap of SA & DM
cancer305 @ Dec 21st 2008 12:36PM
god damn it this game looks pretty bad ass.
Helloimbob @ Dec 21st 2008 12:58PM
Shame.
colin booth @ Dec 23rd 2008 4:18PM
Metallica fan of 20 years.
SO looking forward to this. Volume up, beer cold.
MewLover34 @ Dec 21st 2008 8:15PM
Seriously I hate you people. At least 70% of you just have horrible opinions on damn near everything. Your straight up haters.
pibs @ Dec 21st 2008 11:49PM
Cliff 'Em All! Metallica died with Burton....
Metallicats? @ Dec 22nd 2008 2:32AM
Didn't metallica break up after the Black Album? These short hairs in this cover band just stole the name and cashed in right? Because Long hair Metallica rocked.
That being said-first f-ing day I am fake playing anything off Kill em all
Prox @ Dec 22nd 2008 8:22AM
Boo.
Ironman @ Dec 22nd 2008 2:50PM
lmao, you's so make me laugh.
you say its like aerosmith, but i can guarantee you'll go out and by it still.
its not that, the only reason why im hyped about it is because there finally putting master of puppets on it, the rest of you's can fuck you and your silly little "Oh saint anger and DM was shit ?" lmao, there the most successful rockband and you slagging them off, i wont be suprised if your listening to them right now ;]
this game is purely based for metallica fans, drop your shitty comments somewhere else.
much love.
