Hey, the Sex Pistols are still my favorite band. Rotten Johnny can still rock out with the best of them.

The problem with that GH: Metallica disc is that they don't have exclusive rights, and Harmonix snatched up a good portion of Metallica's back catalogue to release as DLC a long time ago. We'll have most of the quality stuff on Rock Band before that game sees a shelf.
On the "1UP Yours" podcast last week, they were discussing some Activision talking-head, who was commenting on how they plan to release TRIPLE the number of GH "skus" (this term blows) next year. Considering there are three different GH flavors releasing this year (Aerosmith, On Tour, World Tour), that's nine different titles.
Even if that's a gross over-estimation, methinks the saturation point is about to hit on overpriced offerings. Especially when you factor in the relatively affordable DLC gravy-train Rock Band is riding.
I have no problem with them releasing multiple discs (and new songs), so long as you have the option to download the songs to your 360, link them to your user account, and play them regardless of which disc you have inserted at that moment. If they make us swap between nine different discs, it's going to get old real fast.
...Please tell me this isn't their plan.

You're basically saying "**** you" to everyone who doesn't have Live, including myself and the other 40% of 360 owners who aren't connected. We don't get all this tasty DLC that you guys get (which is why I am a proud non-owner of the piece of **** that is Rock Band sans DLC). So the thought of having "expansions," if you will, with new songs is pretty thrilling for us. If you don't want them, don't buy them. But let us have our fun, too.

I'm not saying "**** you" to non-Live users -- I actually said that it's fine if they do both; release all the songs on disc in retail stores, and let the Live users pick-and-choose which songs they want to download online. Or, they can put everything together in one XBL "package" for the Live folks, the same as the retail discs, if they wanna go that way. Or something in between.
There's enough room for both options to keep everyone happy.

Believe me, if I could get Live, I would. Not being able to download the Muse pack is killing me.

Metallica uploaded some new videos recently. They debut clips from some new songs on them. Surprisingly, James's vocals are actually decent; it's been a long time since that's been the case.
Overall, the clips sound promising. Glad to hear that Hammett hasn't forgotten to bring his guitar to the recording studio this time. Check 'em out:

Can't really judge entirely from 20-seconds-a-pop of new material, but what I heard sounds like "Black Album" Metallica and Justice For All Metallica finally kissed and made up.
If frigging DETHKLOK is laying down better tracks than the stuff you've put out over the past eleven years, it's clearly way past time to get back on the stick. All right, ****ers. I'm excited. Don't screw this.

That little snippet of solo at 2:30 sounds quite nice.

Well, I would've gotten GH3 for PC if I had a good enough PC to run it.

I'm really digging the song at 0:25. It has an Enter Sandman feel to it.
