Best Buy is offering the new Metallica CD Death Magnetic for $9.99 with free shipping. It comes with 11 tracks for Guitar Hero III for Xbox 360 - presumably the tracks are from the new album, but it's not clear. The tracks are exclusive to Best Buy.

I would not pay $9.99 for their last three cd's all togather! These guys are ALL about the $$$, Not about the music.

I agree, not gonna buy just because of the napster ordeal. I still like old school Metallica, however I will no longer support them.

Dross said:I'm not sure why there is so much Metallica hate, besides Lars maybe.

I wonder if the tracks work on Guitar Hero: World Tour? I wonder because the sicker shows 2 game logos.

Anyway this is a good deal if you like the band and want more songs for GH3.

yup.......Lars is the reason for the hate.It is a good deal though...

That's the best Metallica album cover in their discography. A+ for the cover.... not to excited about the album per se...

Yeah its not really clear.... ?

Yesterday the $29.99 one was not listed on that page. Only the $9.99 CD and LP were.

No surprise you have to buy this at Best Buy. Metallica still thinks the Internet is just a fad.

....And Justice and everything before it = 100% good

Everything after, not so much

That is all

Metallica, like many aging rockers these days, have evolved into a group of tired old
men whose existence seems bent on trying to constantly cash in on their past success
by producing material that is lame, uninspired, and non-relevant.

As fans of popular music, we have seen this movie before...and it is both annoying and pathetic.
For example, If I have to see another reality show promo that includes the likes of Gene Simmons, Sebastian Bach, Tommy Lee,
Vanilla Ice, etc., or another "Final Last Ever Reunion Tour" for $200 per ticket from the likes
of the Eagles, Who, Kiss, etc., I think I'll puke.
(Apparently "Final" means "biannual" to these performers, or at least until they feel the need to cash in again).

Hint to these aging money-grubbers: Let it go. You once were great or had a great moment. You aren't anymore. Have an ounce of dignity.
Your creative output is a thing of the past. The only thing left is your
self-important, ego-maniacal, delusional belief that your "music" and yourselves are
still somehow relevant to anyone (other than the 40-year-old virgin
that still lives in his mom's basement and is still willing to buy your excuse of a CD for $15).

The reason these bands are still around is that it is still better than 99% of today's mainstream music!
