Metallica are in talks with MTV to debut the first single from their next (ninth) studio album as a playable song for Rock Band 2.
MTV senior vice president of home entertainment, Paul DeGooyer, said: “There are a couple of things we’ve committed to, one of them with Metallica for example. They’ve reserved the right to give us their first single from their new album for the game.”
The announcement was part of a plan by Rock Band manufacturer Harmonix and MTV to premier a string of new songs on updated versions of the hit computer game, the biggest draw of which is Metallica, reports Ultimateguitar. — Via Evilavatar
