I think metallica's ok, and I'm sure they have a huge fanbase, but I see them becoming less and less relevant, so I don't think a full release is appropriate now. But then again rockband and guitar hero might be the only avenue for the attempted revival (or reawakening of interest) of once great (I use the term sparingly) bands. And I think this has already been proven by bands such as AC/DC, Aerosmith and now Metallica . And it saddens me to think that the beatles could also soon be placed among their company. Hopefully The Beatles: Rockband is done with a fare amount of taste.

Am I the only one who thinks the other artists shouldn't take up 50% of the trailer? Well, they are taking up nearly that amount of the game (stupid decision, to be honest), but, c'mon.

What the trailer should have been: use the opening to One with the 'fancy' on-screen effects, reveal the band; cut into Enter Sandman; then Ride the Lightning; then show a quick medley of some of the bigger 'secondary' acts; then end with a longer section for Master of Puppets.

I like Metallica, but if I'm going to buy a game called "Guitar Hero: Metallica," that's precisely what I want. I don't want "Guitar Hero: Metallica & Friends."

The GH original characters look so out of place when compared to the Metallica duders.

@Mourne: It makes sense to include bands that have influenced Metallica in some way.  Variety is the spice of life.

Also, "Hell Bent for Leather"?  Seriously?

Shame they couldn't mo-cap Lars 20 years ago, when he actually made an effort playing drums.

But this game gets point for including the mighty Thin Lizzy, one of the greatest bands EVER.

I love all the internet pop culture references you guys make, kind of sets this site apart from more stuffy 'overprofessional' sites.

I feel like GH is just on a path of graphics that won't take it above Rock Band's no matter how "next gen" they get. Rock Band it seems has focused on good movements and it has paid off.

Also, brand delusion etc.

Lyrics
Mild Suggestive Themes

Um, suggestive of what?
Anyway, I've never bothered with Rock Band or Guitar Hero, so this gets a pass from me as well.
I blame the fact that I actually knew how to play guitar a bit back in the day.

WHOA! James Hetfield looks badass. The bassist Robert Trujillo looks pretty funny but at least he gets to be in the game if it weren't for the ex-bassist's departure. Bet Jason Newsted regretted it. METALLICA FTW!!!

The game is looking awesome. It's been a while since I played any rhythm game, so I can't wait. Metallica, Judas Priest, and the almighty Mastodon!

That looks awesome. Still, I am not digging the Guitar Hero style of the characters. They look all plastic, but I believe that is intentional.

Guitar Hero has become almost as whored out as Final Fantasy. This attitude will only lead to the cheapening of the genre as a whole, until people become uninterested and move on to the next fad.

I'm not the biggest Metallica fan, but I might get this, as so far it is the only all-metal guitar hero/rock band.

I love Metallica but I don't want to play the songs I listen to a lot. I like more of a variety and to expose myself to music I normally don't listen to.

Looks good, the fact that Thin Lizzy is in there and Judas priest is awesome, but even still I'll probably be picking up The Beatles: Rock Band, over this. I like Metallica, but I hated playing the songs on guitar hero, my eyes would just get sore after playing a song.
Looks good none the less.

I'll just download Metallica on DLC. I like Metallica, but not enough to switch from Rock Band to Guitar Hero.

Don't know why the featured Enter Sandman in this trailer. It's not like the song hasn't been in both Rock Band and Guitar Hero....

Animation looks brilliant, they really spent a lot of time on motion capture.

I can't wait to play this game. Metallica are as awesome as people say they are, I am capable of liking Guitar Hero despite the internet thinking it's uncool, and World Tour was far too easy. Bring on the metalz.

Fixed that for you. Kyuss - Demon Cleaner = pretty much the only reason I'll play this game.

Metallica haven't been that good for 18 years so this seems a little late. 

Anyway there are better thrash metal bands out there.
