People Still Care About Metallica
Metallica's first album in over five years, Death Magnetic, is projected to be doing fairly well.
The record is on track to take the number one slot on the top U.S. album charts this week.
Sales data is being released on Wednesday, but according to preliminary estimates, their new album will make it big.
According to many sources, Death Magnetic is said to have sold 450,000 - 500,000 copies last week, even though the album was only on sale for three days.
Their last album, St. Anger, also sold very well during its first week of release, selling 419,000 copies in just three days as well.
Something that might be helping Metallica is the fact that some stores, like Best Buy, are bundling the album with Guitar Hero and even with some Metallica headphones.
Ticketmaster is also offering a ticket/album deal for buyers.
Will Metallica's new album will put them back in the spotlight???
We still think most people have lost interest in them.

"We still think most people have lost interest in them."
LOL…are you mental Perez? You said on another blog entry that you didn't even know what "The Unforgiven" was…were you absent in the 90's? Are you seriously saying that an album that sells 450K in the first 3 days is something "people have lost interest" in? You f*cking moron…
Who cares? How poorly did Jessicunt Simpson's CD do????
Re: pomme – Metallia USED to be a cult band, back during the Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning days, when they rocked. Then they got all commercial and lost the cult following.
fucking love metallica!!
people DO CARE about Metallica…they are the best band in the world…the beatles of the metal universe…
helllllll no! Metallica kick ass! after seeing them at a festival 2 years ago and how amazing they were, i will never lose interest in them! they are legends!
Metallica fans DIE Metallica fans. St. Anger blew, but that didn't mean their fans stopped loving them. They aren't the kind of band you love and hate according to the "trend".

YOU DO REALIZE METALLICA HAS ACTUALLY MANAGED TO KEEP THEIR MUSIC "METAL" EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE DONE WHAT OTHER BANDS WOULD NEVER DARE TO DO… BECAUSE THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK… THEY KILLED NAPSTER? HELL YEAH. THEY SOLD OUT? YEAH MOTHERFUCKER THEY DID, CUZ THEY FUCKING ROCK, EVERYONES GOT TO LOVE THEM. IN THE METAL WORLD, PEREZ, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS HATING METALLICA OR GETTING THEM OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT. ANYONE WHO SAYS THEY HATE METALLICA IS JUST AN ENVIOUS IGNORANT PIECE OF SHIT, JUST LIKE YOU…….
