5-22-08: MISSION CLARIFIED

The first inklings of the Mission Metallica website were via some small postcards included in the reissued vinyl editions of "Kill 'Em All" and "Ride the Lightning" that were released a few months ago. Since then, Metallica fans from all over the planet have gone to the site and been told that if they signed up for the Mission Metallica experience, that they'd get a front row seat to a lot of behind the scenes action as the band puts the finishing touches on their latest album.

Okay. Cool. The site went live the day before Mother's day, and the video that introduced the site promptly froze up. Luckily, the video was already posted on youtube and elsewhere. A few days later, the site kicked in again. A couple of videos, a couple of killer contests, a "Fly on the Wall" segment...

Finally, the official site has full-on acknowledged the site's existence, and has told us when we can expect the full-on content, how we can get that content (regular or premium...), and some more specifics as to what we can expect.

The official day for all the hoop-la to begin is now on May 27th, 2008. For the full article on what to expect and when, go HERE.
