As you may have heard, Metallica is benefiting from a Guitar Hero game. The game will follow the career of Metallica, much like the Aerosmith Guitar Hero game followed their career.

What is neat in this game is that you will be able to play double bass drum like egotistical Lars Ulrich. However, if you want the full early Metallica experience, you will need to drink a metric ton of alcohol, and put up with a verbally abusive and very belligerent Dave Mustaine.

Frantic seems to be the only St. Anger track, lucky for us. Also, while it may look like All Nightmare Long is the only song available from the new album Death Magnetic, it is not. PS3 and Xbox 360 owners will be able to use all the Death Magnetic tracks they downloaded in the game's Campaign mode. The PS2 and Wii versions, will get Broken, Beat, & Scarred, My Apocalypse, and Cyanide on the game disc.

Here is the tracklisting:
