LARS ULRICH Reveals Why METALLICA Went With 'Guitar Hero'

October 22, 2008

According to The Pulse of Radio, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich is a huge proponent of music-based video games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band and plays both with his kids. But when it came time for METALLICA to partner with one of the games, Ulrich told The Pulse of Radio why the band went with Guitar Hero. "We had to make a decision, and it was one or the other, and we felt that Guitar Hero were more suited for what we were looking for," he said. "They were ready to step up on a number of fronts and it's been great. You probably have heard a few birds chirping about the potential of a METALLICA game at some point in the future, and who knows what's gonna lurk next year, but it's pretty exciting."

A METALLICA-based version of Guitar Hero is rumored to be on tap for next year, with Ulrich dropping hints about it in several interviews.

All the songs on METALLICA's new album, "Death Magnetic", will be downloadable for the new Guitar Hero: World Tour, which arrives in stores on Sunday (October 26),and are already playable on Guitar Hero III.

METALLICA kicked off its North American tour on Tuesday (October 21) in Phoenix and plays in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Thursday (October 23).
