Metallica has added single-song downloads to the LiveMetallica.com website. Instead of buying only entire concerts, fans can pick whatever individual songs they want from any concert they choose from. Every song that the band has recorded in concert since 2004, covering a span of 269 shows, is available for 99 cents per MP3. Full shows are still $9.95 as MP3 files and $12.95 as higher quality FLAC files.
Frontman James Hetfield told us about deciding to release individual songs: ["Yeah, I think the song-per-song vs. album is kind of a long lost battle, I think. You know, people in the fast-food world we live in want what they want, and want it now, and when they're done with it, they're done with it. So yeah, it's about time, and I think it's the right move."]
Foo Fighters have unveiled the video for the band's new song "Wheels" at MTV.com. The track appears on the Foos' upcoming CD, Greatest Hits, due out on November 3rd. The clip simply showcases frontman Dave Grohl and the rest of the group playing the tune in the studio. Drummer Taylor Hawkins told us that the song itself changed over the course of writing and recording it: ["'Wheels' was almost like, it was more piano-driven if I remember correctly, when we first started, when we did the first demo for it. So it was a lot, it almost sounded like 'Let It Be' or something like that. I mean, it didn't sound like 'Let It Be,' but it kind of had that Beatles sort of piano-driven type thing."]
Kings Of Leon will headline the Austin City Limits festival in Austin, Texas on Friday night (October 2nd), but fans everywhere will be able to see the band's show thanks to Hulu.com.
