Major Details On Metallica's Rock Hall Performance
Posted by Mitch Michaels on 04.01.2009
Band adds more bassists, Dave Mustaine's involvement and how the band plans to block piracy of the show...
With just who will be playing bass for Metallica's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performance changing daily, 411mania is happy to finally put the question to bed for good.
Sources at the Rock Hall in charge of setting up certain sound equipment have tipped that they were instructed to mark off eleven different areas on the stage for bass rigs. The rigs arrived at the Rock Hall this morning and were marked as "J. Newsted", "R. Trujillo", "R. McGovney", "B. Rock", "C. Burton (Zombie Variant)", "Flea", "D. Grohl" (who knew?), "L. Killmister", "W. Murderface", "P. McCartney" and "J.P. Jones". The sound crew have been further instructed that, if Metallica decides to play any material from ...And Justice For All, the sound mix on all eleven bassists should be turned down to zero.
They've also been instructed to employ hi- and lo-pass bandfilters, just in case the band decides to incorporate material from Death Magnetic into the brief set.
In more news, the sound crew has been informed to prepare for a live video feed from Amsterdam, which will feature early member Dave Mustaine's band Megadeth playing in tribute to Metallica. The video will be displayed in a very small box in the bottom right corner of the screen during the telecast of Metallica's performance. Megadeth's sound feed will also be muted.
Finally, drummer Lars Ulrich made an announcement today that, in order to circumvent internet piracy of their performance, they are going to cancel the whole thing altogether.
Of course, today is April 1st. This could all change by tomorrow.
The part about all 11 basses being muted during Justice is what made me laugh when i woke up and realized it was april 1rst. The sad part is, it's not that hard to believe.
