Metallica has announced its first Orion Festival, a two-day live music event that will be held at the unused Bader Field Airport in Atlantic City, N.J. While the band will headline both nights of the festival, the extensive and eclectic lineup is by no means exclusively a metal or hard rock show. Metallica reportedly hand picked each band playing the festival, and some of the choices may be surprising to many fans of the band. Notable acts playing this year’s event are Modest Mouse...Read Full Story

Admittedly, I’m not the biggest Metallica fan, especially anything post-… And Justice For All , so when I heard that they were being given the opportunity to curate their own festival, I have to say, I cringed.  The Orion Music & More Festival, a reference to a Metallica song off of Master of Puppets , will take place in Atlantic City June 23 and 24, but that’s not the crazy part.  The news story here is who Metallica handpicked to be on the bill for the two-day festival. Titus Andronicus...Read Full Story

Today, February 10, 2012, would have been Cliff Burton ’s 50th birthday. The revered Metallica bassist played on the band’s first three albums -- Kill Em All , Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets . His charging, finger-picking basslines added much to the early Metallica and thrash metal music sound. Burton was tragically killed almost 26 years ago when Metallica was on a European tour to support the Master Of Puppets album. The tour bus skidded off the road and crashed in southern...Read Full Story

So we’re very proud to be in your house and play some music for you.” (L-R) Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo and James...Read Full Story

Metallica announced this afternoon a two day festival called the Orion Music + More festival. Besides the insanely stupid name, this idea was great in theory...shit in execution.
