Metallica Guitar Hero Shot!

The Deathly Magnetic ones have allowed virtual creations of themselves to appear on a new version of the eternally popular Guitar Hero game, cunningly titled ‘Guitar Hero: Metallica´. Due for release in April 2009, it´s about ruddy time!

We´ve grabbed one of the images floating about too!

Here´s to the release of Mario The Hedgehog: Halo to The Past Kazooie on the PS360, eh?

Check Metallica´s interview with USA Today about their participation in the game here.

Simon Bradley is a guitar and especially rock guitar expert who worked for Guitarist magazine and has in the past contributed to world-leading music and guitar titles like MusicRadar (obviously), Guitarist, Guitar World and Louder. What he doesn't know about Brian May's playing and, especially, the Red Special, isn't worth knowing.
