METALLICA's French-only concert DVD, "Francais Por Une Nuit", or "French For One
Night", arrived on November 23. The disc is available at all retailers in
France, but is also for sale worldwide at the band's web site. Bassist Robert
Trujillo told The Pulse of Radio that he expects it to be a special release.
"What I've seen of it, it's very beautiful," he said. "We're playing in a Roman
coliseum and it's a beautiful night, an incredible crowd. It's special for me,
and I connect with the French as well. My wife's from Paris, I have a great time
when I'm there, I even have surfed there a few times. France is cool. This is a
special moment for them, it's a special moment for us."
A short audio clip of Trujillo talking about the "Francais Por Une Nuit" DVD can
be streamed at this location (Real Media).
In addition to the band's complete 18-song set, the disc also includes
interviews with the group and five video clips shot by members of the audience.
A statement posted on the band's website said, "ALL aspects of the project are
French as the show was filmed, recorded, and edited with French camera and
recording crews, the artwork on the package and special box set (more on that in
a minute!) were created by a French design team; even the credits are in
French."
The DVD comes in three formats: standard DVD or Blu-ray, in a digipack with a
16-page booklet, and a deluxe limited edition box set that includes the DVD, a
copy of "Death Magnetic" on CD, a T-shirt, laminated pass, and exclusive photos.

Hector Saldaña of San Antonio Express-News recently conducted an interview with
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine. A few excerpts from the chat follow below.
On "Endgame" tour preparations:
"I'm pretty well ready to do my job. I just make sure I have my workout gear and
my personal stuff together, and make sure I have what I need on stage. It's a
matter of, 'How dedicated am I?' Is this a joke? Is this a hobby? When it's time
to go, I'm ready."
On MEGADETH's new album, "Endgame":
"When you have a record like ['Endgame'] and you look at the sales and they just
aren't there, you start to take that personally. I gotta tell you, it's been so
frustrating for us the last few years with the way things are going in the music
industry. I remember back when people would say something and then keep their
word. I remember back when people that worked at radio actually knew what
working at radio meant."
On being credited alongside SLAYER, ANTHRAX and METALLICA with creating and
perfecting thrash metal:
"I look at my career and I know what I've accomplished. Between my career with
MEGADETH and the songs I've written and sold with METALLICA, I've sold more than
60 million records around the world. I'm currently rated as a top guitar player,
I'm really inspired and this is one of the greatest periods of my life."
On new MEGADETH guitarist Chris Broderick, formerly of JAG PANZER, who joins
journeyman bassist James Lomenzo and drummer Shawn Drover:
"The relationship with Chris is really unique because he's such an incredible
talent and, fortunately for me, he's either really humble or he's either really
unaware of how great he really is."
On his Internet radio station, Megadeth Radio, available at www.iheartradio.com:
"I'm currently going through the playlist which is about 2,000 to 3,000 songs,
and I'm adding stuff as we go along. I want the world to know that it's
bull(crap) what everybody keeps saying about me having a problem with METALLICA.
There is no problem, and to prove this, I put them on my radio show. So, we'll
see how much longer this nonsense keeps going. It'll go on forever, I imagine,
but hopefully there will be a new wave of young metal fans that go, 'You know
what? You guys that believe that (crap), you go ahead and believe it, but we're
smarter than that.'"
According to The Santiago Times, over 10,000 tickets to METALLICA's January 26,
2010 concert at Santiago, Chile's Club Hípico were sold within 12 hours after
they went on sale this past Tuesday morning (November 24) at midnight through
Ticketmaster, call centers and ticket outlets such as Falabella and Cine Hoyts.
Tickets cost from CHP$29,000 (US$60) to CHP$80,000 (US$160).
METALLICA has released details of the concert DVD that the band will issue in
Mexico on November 30th. Titled "Orgullo, Pasion y Gloria: Tres Noches En La
Ciudad de Mexico" or "Pride, Passion, and Glory: Three Nights in Mexico City",
the set was filmed in front of 155,000 over three nights at Mexico City's Foro
Sol Stadium on June 4, June 6 and June 7, 2009. According to METALLICA's web
site, the DVD/CD package contains a total of 34 songs taken from all three
shows, which each had a different set list. Blu-Ray, digipack and deluxe
slipcased editions are also available, with full track listings for each
available at the METALLICA site.
Interviews with the group in Mexico are also included.
All the credits will be in Spanish and as with the band's newly released French
concert DVD, the set will be available only in stores in Latin America and at

and Europe.
METALLICA's official web site has been updated with the following message:
"We were honored to participate in the two-night series of concerts held in
October at Madison Square Garden in New York to benefit the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. Our friends from HBO were there to film the entire event and have put
together a four-hour special that debuts this weekend on Sunday, November 29 at
8:00 p.m. EST/PST. Check here for additional air dates.
"The shows celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and
the two nights featured different lineups with everyone performing their own
songs along and playing with other artists who have influenced all forms of
music.
"We had an incredible experience in New York and were humbled to perform with
musicians who have inspired us throughout the years, including Lou Reed, Ozzy
Osbourne, and Ray Davies of THE KINKS.
"Tune in to see us do 'Sweet Jane' with Lou Reed, 'Iron Man'/'Paranoid' with
Ozzy , and 'All Day and All of the Night' with Ray Davies. 'For Whom The Bells
Toll', and 'Enter Sandman' will also air for a little dose of straight-up
'TALLICA."
METALLICA's setlist was as follows:
01. For Whom The Bell Tolls
02. One
03. Turn The Page
04. Sweet Jane (w/ Lou Reed)
05. White Light White Heat (w/ Lou Reed)
06. Iron Man (w/ Ozzy Osbourne)
07. Paranoid (w/ Ozzy Osbourne)
08. You Really Got Me (w/ Ray Davies)
09. All Day And All Of The Night (w/ Ray Davies)
10. Stone Cold Crazy
11. Enter Sandman

WDBJ7.com reports: Dan and Gil Harrington have not seen 20 year old Morgan
Harrington now for almost six weeks since she vanished after leaving a METALLICA
concert in Charlottesville October 17.
The Harringtons' son is coming to Virginia from New York City for Thanksgiving
and the family will have dinner with close family friends. A place Gil
Harrington says they always spend the holiday.
"We're always there. It'll be strange not to have Morgan home if she doesn't
make it home by Thanksgiving, but that is really our place of celebration and
marking that holiday, we'll be there," says Gil Harrington.
The family says they hope someone who knows something will come forward. Again,
the tip line is (434) 352-3467.
METALLICA's web site has been updated with the following message:
"We're really excited for today's installment of 'where are they going now' as
we tell you about four shows coming up in cities we have never played in!!
"The March leg of the 'World Magnetic' tour kicks off on March 1 in Guadalajara,
Mexico (which, by the way, we were honored to visit as part of the MTV Latin
American Music Awards), heads to Monterrey, Mexico on March 3, and then over to
Guatemala City, Guatemala on March 5. We will close out this leg of the tour in
San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 14, where we technically have BEEN before, but
two or three of you may remember that unfortunately the show scheduled in 1993
was rained out."
Newly announced METALLICA shows:
Mar. 01 - Guadalajara, Mexico @ Estadio Tres de Marzo
Mar. 03 - Monterrey, Mexico @ Estadio Universitario
Mar. 05 - Guatemala City, Guatemala @ Estadio Mateo Flores
Mar. 14 - San Juan, Puerto Rico @ Coliseo de Puerto Rico

METALLICA's official web site has been updated with the following message:
"In June of this year we were fortunate enough to return to Mexico City for
three sold-out shows at Foro Sol Stadium and with 155,000 of you there over the
three nights, we knew it would be extra special. So we asked our friend Wayne
Isham to join us with a film crew and the results of that crazy, magical, most
memorable long weekend will be available on DVD and CD starting November 30 as
'Orgullo, Pasion y Gloria: Tres Noches En La Ciudad de Mexico' ('Pride, Passion,
and Glory: Three Nights in Mexico City').
"The DVDs and CDs include songs from all three shows recorded on June 4, 6, and
7. Each show had a unique set list, totaling 34 different songs . . . They're
all there on the two DVD set along with interviews with us. Other versions that
will be available include one DVD (18 tracks), Blu-ray version of that DVD, a
digipack with the DVD and two CDs, and finally the aforementioned deluxe version
in a slip case with two DVDs and two CDs. Track listings for each configuration
can be seen [below]. In keeping with the local theme, all the credits will be in
Spanish (Portuguese for our Brazilian buddies) and will only be available at
stores in Latin America. Of course we will also have it in the official
Metallica.com store, starting sometime the week of December 7.
"Most areas of Latin America will have the DVD available on November 30.
However, if you live in Brazil, check your local music store on December 8 and
for fans in Argentina and Chile, 'Orgullo, Pasion y Gloria: Tres Noches En La
Ciudad de Mexico' hits the stores on December 10.
"And of course since we had such an amazing time in Mexico, we can't wait to go
back . . . we'll see you in Monterrey and Guadalajara in March. More details on
those shows coming very soon!"

New York based extreme metal legends SUFFOCATION have uploaded a video clip for the track "Cataclysmic Purification" at this location.
The footage was directed by David Brodsky (ARSIS, GOD FORBID, KATAKLYSM, SWASHBUCKLE) with animation by Tim Kellen. When asked about the track from their 6th full-length album Blood Oath, SUFFOCATION bassist Derek Boyer stated:
"’Cataclysmic Purification’ audibly portrays a calamitous future approaching. With this song and the rest of the album I think we've maintained the musical integrity of the band while still having comprehendible brutality. Blood Oath combines straight forward crushing movements with unsuspecting twists that will certainly entertain everyone from the avid SUFFOCATION listener to the 1st time innocent bystanders."
