There is no question that METALLICA's James Hetfield is one of the most charismatic vocalists in Heavy Music history. One element that has always set Hetfield apart from the competition, are his signature vocal sounds. The ones his throws in between vocal parts that are a huge part of METALLICA's signature sound.
Thanks to the This Is Hell boys, there is now a James Hetfield soundboard online. This means you can command a HEY-HEYYEEEAAAAH!

"About a month ago we mentioned that we have a live DVD in the works to complete the 'Death Magnetic' experience and leaned on you to help us decide which songs would be on the main disc. As promised, we're back now with more details on that DVD, 'Quebec Magnetic' (!?!) which will find its way to your local retailer, online store, Metallica.com and favorite digital provider on December 10, 2012.
"This release is a first for us... yes, boys and girls, the DVD and Blu-ray will be come out on our very own label in North America! There are still some 'i's' being dotted and 't's' crossed, so we can't give you a name or fancy logo just yet, but we're pretty excited that for the first time we get to hold all the reins on a release from start to finish. Since we now get to call all the shots, the double DVD and single disc Blu-ray will be available for a price we thought was very METALLICA fan-friendly — suggested retail will be $15.98 for either format.
"Just in case you missed the first story, the DVD was shot by our long time cohort Wayne Isham, capturing the two 'World Magnetic' shows in Quebec City in the fall of 2009. You were kind enough to help us select the set list by voting here on this site, choosing the songs played in setlist number two as the main program. All the songs played at those two shows will be included on the DVD/Blu-ray. You can peruse the set list and, of course, check out the cover below."

Last night (Saturday, December 10th), Metallica wrapped up their 30th anniversary celebration at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. To conclude the event on a high note, they performed for the first time ever a previously unreleased track from their ninth studio album "Death Magnetic". The name of the song is "Rebel Of Babylon" and you can listen to it right now! Just make sure you crank it up!
Here some other unreleased tracks from the "Death Magnetic" sessions:
Metallica is currently celebrating their first 30 years of existence through a series of events at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. Since they know that not all their fans can attend this historic events, they decided to release two previously unreleased tracks from their ninth studio album "Death Magnetic", for their global audience to indulge in. So crank it up and check them out!
It was announced today by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), that Metallica's latest album titled "Death Magnetic" has gone double platinum for shipments in the United States of over 2 million copies. "Death Magnetic" was released on September 12, 2008, and it was considered by many the comeback everyone was eagerly waiting for. From the moment you start listening to this album, you know it's an instant classic.
Many Metallica fans were happy with the results, but some complained that the record was over-compressed and it sounded distorted. What many don't realize is that since the turn of the century, almost every single Heavy Metal album is over-compressed. If you grab all the Pantera albums for example and play them back to back, you will realize how much louder their last album "Reinventing the Steel" is compared to all their other records. This all happened once radio became a volume competition between bands, since not that many stations were playing Heavy Metal. So if a certain record wasn't loud enough, fans would not pay much attention to it since it lacked power compared to the other records. As we know Heavy Metal is all about power, so what was all the complaining about? I think people are always going to look for something to attack Metallica with.
We remember watching VH1's "That Metal Show" when they discussed the album, and the bottom line is that it is a great album full of amazing songs. We congratulate the Metallica clan for selling over 2.5 million copies in times when people are not buying music. Here are some quotes from Metallica's drummer Lars Ulrich, during an interview with "The Pulse Radio" in October of 2008:
"I listen to this record, and I listen to it every couple of days," he said. "And when I hear it, it puts a smile on my face and it blows me away, and I don't understand what people are talking about. Somebody told me the other day that there were 12,000 people that had signed a petition to remix the record. We've sold two and a half million copies (Worldwide) of 'Death Magnetic'. You do the math yourself."
