Rumor: Metallica to Debut New Single as DLC for Rock Band?
Posted by Jonathan on Monday, December 3rd, 2007 at 6:21 pm under Game Consoles, Games, Games Industry, Microsoft, Sony
Apparently, the rock band, Metallica, is currently in talks with MTV and Harmonix about releasing their next single as downloadable content for Rock Band. No additional information has been given at this time; just that the various parties are looking into the possibility. Still, if this deal works out, it might pave the way for other bands to do the same. In the long run, it’d be pretty sweet if brand new songs could start showing up as DLC more often. Until then, legions of fans with exclusively black wardrobes wait with bated breath.

And it starts again… WTF Metallica:!::!::!::!::!:
Attorneys for the Grammy award winning heavy metal band Metallica filed a lawsuit yesterday against Harmonix and Activision (who recently acquired Red Octane) for copyright infringement. The suit accuses the three gaming companies of illegally distributing copies of Metallica songs in the upcoming and highly anticipated games Guitar Hero III and Rock Band, both due out in late 2007.
The suit alleges that both companies planned to package and distribute Metallica music through their video games in what lawyers characterized as a "licensed music to player" system, or LM2P network. Metallica is fearful that album sales could decline if their fans were able to simply walk into any Gamestop or Best Buy and purchase an $80 video game that contained one of their songs.
