Metallica to release 8 track live EP!

Wed, 15 Sep 2010

As Metallica get ready to return to Australia and New Zealand on tour they announced they would be releasing a new live EP on September 20th.

The EP features 8 live tracks, recorded between 1989 and 2004 from each time they've visited Australia in the past. 

"Here's the story . . . the collective brain trust came up with what we thought might be a kinda fun idea . . . how about some live recordings from each time we have been lucky enough to visit the area? It was all well and good until we realized that we did not start making multi-track recordings of every show until 2004 . . . oops! But you guys, the fans, came to our rescue with some pretty decent bootleg options and we trimmed those down to two songs from each tour in 1989, 1993, 1998, and 2004. In digging a little deeper, it occurred to us that we had tracks that had never before been released as "live b-sides" (we're not counting the bonus songs on i-Tunes, okay?) and that that added to the adventure of pulling it all together." The band say on their official website.
