METALLICA performed its new single, "The Day That Never Comes", earlier
tonight (Tuesday, September 16) on the BBC television show "Later. with
Jools Holland". Watch the performance below.
According to
Billboard.com, METALLICA's "Death Magnetic" has sold close to a
half million copies in just a three-day sales window and will lead The
Billboard 200 when Nielsen SoundScan releases its charts tomorrow morning
(Sept. 17). The CD moved 490,000 copies in its abbreviated frame, scheduled
off-cycle on a Friday to accommodate a worldwide release date.
The new 10-song collection is the band's first since 2003, when it issued
the controversial "St. Anger". Many fans were turned off by that record's
primitive production and lack of guitar solos, but drummer Lars Ulrich told
The Pulse of Radio that doing "St. Anger" paved the way to return to a more
traditional sound on "Death Magnetic". "I'm pretty sure that a big part of
the reason the new record sounds and feels like it does is because we had to
go and do that in order to get to where we are now. You know what I mean?"
he said. "We had to get that out of our systems. It was just, it was vital,
it was unavoidable. We had to just fuck it up to that point."
