Metallica Gets The 'South Park' Treatment

The members of Metallica were recently seen as characters on the animated TV show "South Park" (picture). No actual members of Metallica were used for voice-overs of their characters, but instead were impersonated by professional actors. The episode was a humorous take on the issue of downloading music from the Internet, a subject over which Metallica have been a target of many parodies and jokes since the Napster battle in 2000.

In other news, HMV Japan is listing December 17 as the release date for the third single from Metallica's "St. Anger" CD, "The Unnamed Feeling". The video for the track is expected to premiere later this year and the single will impact radio on December 2.
