Metallica To Guest On The Simpsons

Band Photo: Metallica (?)

The members of METALLICA were in the studio today (Sept. 20) to record their voices for an upcoming episode of "The Simpsons". The show will air sometime in May 2006, so you have plenty of time to set those recorders. More information will be made available soon. In the meantime, click here to check out the pictures of the guys saying their lines.

METALLICA have been keeping a relatively low profile since completing their world tour in late 2004. The band is expected to begin working on a new album sometime before the end of this year.

I loved the show as a kid, sometimes the rapid fire gags that barely make sense are great, but all in all the show is just kind of "there", it merely exists, though I do like Homer he reminds me of my own dad...the shows been trucking since I was in third grade which is kind of amazing....

bleh

Anyway, this comes as no surprise, they've had Aerosmith, Cyprus Hill, Smashing Pumpkins, Sting, Bette Middler, Michael Jackson, Paul and Linda McCartney etc....At this juncture why not Metallica.

As for Metallica themselves, I just want to see them pull out of this terrible nosedive.... but with lyrics, riffs, and vocals like those found on "St. Anger" I think we can kiss any possibility of "Lightning"-"Puppets" era brilliance bye bye.

How can you say the lyrics on "St. Anger" are crappy? They are primal but very thought provocing. I don't agree with the stunts Metallica pulled concerning Napster and the alienating of Jason, but they have pulled themselves together and St. Anger was definately a step in the right direction. James seems more vibrant than he did 15 years ago now that he's cleaned up and focused. Trujillio is an excellent bassist and although I miss Newsted terribly, T. is an excellent addition to the band. The dudes are gettin' up there (god aren't we all?) but they are still churning out kick a$$ music. You can't stay stuck in "MOP" and "Right the Lightning" mode forever. Most of the times bands GROW musically. Christ, look at the Beatles. Do you think they would have been regarded as rock gods if they got stuck in their "Love me Do" sound? NO, it's all about progressing... I've loved Metallica since I was 13 (circa 1988) and I'll continue to dig their music.

All the Metallica haters can get Fukked. I'm so happy that Metallica continues to do things their own way. And its funny that so many of you guys get all worked up and go on rants about how you hate them and rip their progression and choices etc and they just shrug and ignore you. And so do I. ; ) _____ Say what you want about Metallica; they're still HUGE and they still rock. Its nice to know that all of you slanderous scabs and finger pointers aren't making any progress in your sad attempts bring them down. So I want to say fukk off to you, and throw out a HAIL THE MIGHTY FUKKN HET! to all the the true believers.

I agree with Kristen way up the page about some of you idiots forever being in "MOP" & "RTL" mode. Ok weve heard what you guys have had to say before. . for those who are a bit slow, that being that "everything past the black albums total crap" . . ive got a good idea for you smug Holier Than Thou metal poseurs. . . if you dont like Metallica F**k off and dont post your thoughts anywhere because there are more open minded people in the world who dont give a sh** about what you have to say and frankly laugh themselves stupid when you carry on as though you are the holy scripture on heavy metal. . . get out of the house more!! actions speak louder than words, so unless you yourself have sold 90 million albums and are as well known as metallica, us properly functioning human beings couldnt give a sh** what you say. . .

BTW. . . has it ever occured to you that while you continue preaching your metal gospel about how much you think St Anger sucks, Metallica continue to roll in the money you spent to buy the album. . .which incidentally happened because you cant download from napster anymore !! So EET F*K because we dont give a sh**!!! TALLICA 4 EVER

Can't wait to see the episode! Simpsons and Metallica finally! Everybody else has been on the show.
One thing to say, thought, about some comments made. I wish things had been different with Jason, but let's see what happens with Rob. He's an awesome bass player, and he seemed to inpsire Metallica. I read that he had a lot to do with them playing a lot of their old sh** on the road last year,
because he could pull off a lot of parts the way Cliff used to play. Who knows, maybe he will inspire a great album from those guys.
I wonder if they will just have an appearance on the Simpsons, or actually do something musical on the show.
