Master, Master, Master, Master...

There's a certain sense of irony in getting a press release that has both "Metallica" and "Download" in the same sentence that isn't about lawsuits. Who would have known that this entire situation would have come full circle...
Today, Activision has announced that a demo for Guitar Hero: Metallica is being made available on the Xbox Live Arcade. It's a substantial demo, and should go a long way in helping the decision making process towards buying another music add-on. Metallica's "Sad But True" and "Seek And Destroy" start off the list, and it's rounded out by Alice in Chains' "No Excuses" and Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy." No word on the PS3 demo blah blah yet, we're sure it won't be blah blah too long, likely coming out blah blah next week.
The press release is below, and be sure to check back for Gamervision's review of GH:M when the game drops.
