Sometimes someone comes up with an idea that is so awesome, you can’t even believe it exists. Legotallica is one of those things. By our estimate, YouTube user, Jeanbk94 had to take a minimum of 7,200 pictures to make this 3.5 minute video. But this thing rocks so hard, there’s absolutely no question it was worth it.

Taking Guitar Hero obsession to a new high, 14-year-old Danny ‘Phenom’ Johnson recently burst his way into the Guinness Book Of World Records not once but three times, setting new standards with the Longest Note Streak On Guitar Hero (with a score of 3,722 and 100% on the track ‘Through The Fire And The Flames’), the Highest Score For A Single Track (the just-shy-of-a-million 985,206 on the same ditty), and the Highest Score On Guitar Hero: Metallica with a rockin’ 1,009,056 on ‘Mercyful Fate’.

“I don’t think there is anything that can stop this kid, his talents are infinite,” said his father of the feat, possibly confusing ‘ability at a video game’ with ‘world domination’.

If the Internet is good for one thing it’s taking two things that have absolutely nothing to do with each other and combining them to make something totally brilliant! Case-in-point: Metallica’s Enter Sandman, As Told By Cats – who ever thought this up is either terribly deranged or a mad genius.

I wouldn’t even begin to know to how to explain this so just check it out for yourself.

We’ve all heard reports of interrogators blasting music at prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and we’ve always wondered what songs they consider bad enough to be torture – and now we know. Today, British law group Reprieve has released a list of the most played tracks at Guantanamo Bay prison, used to break down prisoners. And we have to say, if anything is torture, these are it.

Everything from Metallica to Christina Aguilera made the list. And while some of the tracks are actually pretty F’ing good, listening to them full blast while naked, hungry and tied to a jail cell toilet, would probably make you want to tear out your ears with a tire iron. We’re not sure which song tops your torture playlist, but we’re pretty certain the Barney song is #1 with a bullet.

Think you have a better torture playlist? Tell us which songs you’d include in the comments!

You don’t hear much anymore about the effects of hidden Satanic messages on today’s youth.  Let this video be a reminder that Satan still wants your children to jump into a vat of acid… maybe twice.

The album everyone has been talking about will be released this week: Metallica’s “Death Magnetic” hits shelves on Friday and the reaction has been pretty split, based on the leaks. This is the band’s first release since their 2003 “St. Anger”. I’m not quite sure why or how they’re releasing their album this Friday instead of today, but hey, they’re Metallica. I’m sure they can do whatever they want. Maybe they were scared that if they released the album on a Tuesday, too many kids would pirate it off by the weekend? (more…)

Since the headline explains it all, let’s just get right to it, shall we?

For extra convenience I’ve broken down the acts into different categories, shown after the jump. While some acts may not be in the category of your liking, most are…so suck it. (more…)

It has been rumored that Led Zeppelin will be headlining (alongside Metallica) at 2008’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts festival in Manchester, TN.

Led Zeppelin, arguably the greatest rock and roll band of all time, have not played together since the early 1990’s. They recently announced a one-off tribute show at O2 Arena in London for the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegün.

Over 20 million fans from all over the globe requested tickets to the December 10 show. As of today it will cost at least $2,000+ dollars to buy a ticket on the resale market.

Like The Police in 2007, Led Zeppelin’s decision to headline “the largest hippy festival in the world,” frequented by college students on summer break is a great way to introduce themselves to a new (read: younger) group of hardcore fans.

The four-day festival begins June 12, and the official Bonnaroo website says tickets will go on sale in March of 2008. Start saving now.

Watch in awe as YouTuber “azuritereaction” runs through “And Justice for All” without breaking a sweat (or a note streak):

“azuritereaction”…YOU ROCK!

“Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts…â€? and what kid didn’t dream of going to a summer camp like the one portrayed on Nickelodeon’s Salute Your Shorts.

Nickelodeon’s show about a camp and the hijinks that went on there featured people you may recognize from your own camper days like: Michael, the new kid; Donkeylips, the fat guy; Bobby Budnick, the resident asshole who introduced our generation to Metallica; Sponge, the nerd; Pinsky, the jock; Telly, the tomboy; Z.Z. the hippie; Dina Alexander, the camp hottie; and their counselor Kevin Lee otherwise known as “Ugâ€? (Am I the only one who notices a resemblance to the lead singer of Gin Blossoms?). (more…)
