First things first. If you came here to slag metallica, get the fukk out of this thread! You have been warned.
O.K, so I'm a crazy tallica fan, and I know there are a few others like me so lets use this thread to talk about latest news, tours, pictures whatever.

A number of photos of the "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott art tribute "Six-String Masterpieces", which debuted late last month at Winter NAMM in Anaheim, California, have been posted online at DeanGuitars.com.
The "Six-String Masterpieces: The Dimebag Darrell Art Tribute" includes the following:
- A collection of 50 guitars, hand-painted by world-famous rock stars and internationally known modern artists, including members of METALLICA,ZOMBIE, DISTURBED.
- A charitable art auction to benefit a foundation dedicated to music, education and improving the lives of today’s youth.
- A travelling entertainment attraction hitting major U.S. markets in 2006.
- A highly-publicized tour that will feature an art opening party and VIP reception in each city attended by participating artists, press, celebrities and entertainment industry personel.

I'm assuming his little artwork represents the fact that guns cant kill metal, and killing our idols isnt going to stop the metal \m/

Check out this fantastic version "Orion" by Flamenco duo Rodrigo & Gabriela. This Metallica song was first released on the Master of Puppets album and is one of MEtallicas best instrumentals. This cover version will be featured on Rodrigo & Gabrielas forthcoming album due on February.
Mexican virtuoso acoustic guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela release their third album on March 13th on Rubyworks Records, and return to the UK with a string of live dates to support the release.
Metallica cover on next album “Rodrigo y Gabriela” is produced by John Leckie (Muse, Radiohead, My Morning Jacket) and the artistes themselves. It was recorded in the UK in the late summer of 2005, and features nine new tracks – seven Rod & Gab originals and two covers – Metallica’s “Orion” and Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway To Heaven”. All the instrumentation on the album comes from Rodrigo y Gabriela’s guitars
Rodrigo & Gabriela have already covered "One" in their previous live album and included a section of the middle solo of MoP in one of the songs as well as some metallichops here and there.

Interesting. doesnt sound too bad either.

Rumors continue to circulate that METALLICA have finally ended their working relationship with producer Bob Rock and are in talks with Rick Rubin (SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLIPKNOT, SLAYER, AUDIOSLAVE, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) about producing the group's next effort, the follow-up to the much-maligned "St. Anger".
It was as far back as last October that the first rumblings of a METALLICA/Rubin collaboration reached BLABBERMOUTH.NET, and the rumors have been gaining strength ever since. Adding fuel to these reports is the fact that Rock is scheduled to spend a good portion of 2006 working on the new CD from MÖTLEY CRÜE, which is expected to surface sometime next year.
In a September 2005 interview with the METALLICA fan club magazine So What!, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich was asked point-blank if Bob Rock's name had been discused for the group's next album.
"I would say that Bob Rock will always be our producer," Ulrich replied. "You know it's almost like default. It's not whether he should produce, it's more whether he shouldn't produce it. So I would expect Bob Rock to produce it unless he's not interested."
In the same interview, Ulrich spoke highly of the most recent albums by SLIPKNOT and SYSTEM OF A DOWN — both of which were produced by Rubin — citing them as particularly inspiring in terms of making him "look forward to paying a little more attention to the sonics" next time around.
METALLICA officially began the songwriting process for their new album late last year and are expected to spend the next few months compiling ideas before entering the final recording stage. A late 2006/early 2007 release via Warner Bros. is expected.
Thoughts?
