In a step closer to spiral_architect's prediction of a collaborative album, Metallica & Lang Lang today released "One (Awards Show Rehearsal Version)."

The song was recorded on January 23rd at EastWest Studios in Los Angeles, CA during rehearsals for the 56th annual Grammy Awards.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Music Cares, and the track can be bought at iTunes here.

METALLICA IS TRULY ANOTHER STEP FURTHER AWAY FROM IDENTIFYING WITH ITS HARDCORE WORKING CLASS FAN BASE. IT'S NOT THAT THE BAND DOESN'T HAVE CHOPS, IT'S THAT THEIR ARTISTIC VISION IS DILUTED WITH AVANT GARDE AND HIGH CULTURE ELEMENTS WHICH MOST METALHEADS SHUN. NOBODY LIKES A SNOB.

NOW PLAYING- BLACK SABBATH "NEON KNIGHTS"

I can't be the only who keeps reading "Lang Lang" in Foxy from Drawn Together's voice.

Meanwhile, the best attention they could get is to actually write some solid, hard-hitting metal songs and hire a no-nonsense metal producer to tell them what to do.

Ironically, these arty experiments and avant-garde fiddlefaddling around are what people expect from Metallica these days. Surprise us by giving us a [well produced] metal record!

any kind of adviser who can convince them that they haven't been Metal in over 20 years and point them in the right direction would be a start
