The boys in Metallica finally confirmed the rumours that they will indeed get their own Guitar Hero game. Where Guitar Hero fans would get the opportunity to play nothing but Metallica songs.

In the game, will have 28 Metallica songs, and the band also picked their favorite songs from other bands they played shows with such as Alice In Chains, the Foo Fighters, Slayer, Machine Head, and Queen.

I’m pretty sure in the game they will let you either choose which band member you’d like to play as, maybe either Kirk and James. Maybe even Lars and Rob. You can either play single player or the band career mode. In the band career mode, you’ll get to play on the stages of some of Metallica’s most famous venues where they played at in the past.

Keep an eye on the band’s website as they’ll give you the updates on the tracklisting’s for the game:

Songs that I think that’ll definitely be on there, this is NOT the official listing, this is just “speculation” of what I think will be on there…:

“Battery”, “Master of Puppets”, “The Thing That Should Not Be”, “Enter Sandman”, “Sad But True”, “The Unforgiven I”, “Where ever I May Roam”, “Nothing Else Matters”, “The Day That Never Comes”, “Cyanide”, “The Judas Kiss”, “All Nightmare Long”, “Whiplash”, “Seek and Destroy”, “Fight Fire With Fire”, “For Whom The Bell Tolls”, “Creeping Death”, “The Call of Ktulu”, “Fade to Black”, “One”, “King Nothing”, “Until It Sleeps”, “Hero of the Day”, “Fuel”, “The Memory Remains”, “Some Kind of Monster”, “St. Anger”, Bob Seger cover of “Turn the Page”.

I think they’re definitely going to do their most popular songs from every album and that list above fits. Although, it would be nice if Metallica will throw some obscure songs that aren’t played on the radio though. I’m sure they will. We’ll wait and see.

I’m definitely looking forward to this and I will buy it when it comes out in 2009 since I’m a huge Metallica fan.
