All Nightmare Long (Metallica vs. zombies)

al doilea clip de pe Death Magnetic e cel putin ciudat, piesa de 8 min jumate, clipul 9 1/2, cu inserturi pe mut si subtitluri despre meteoritul cazut in Taiga in 1908 si bariu, spori care produc zombi. Animatie cool si cel putin weird, pentru a deveni mainstream (v. si comments). Premiera pe net 9.12.08, si pe situl metallica pe 7 dec, l-am vazut prima oara 28 hours later pe myspace
coolest thing that happened today, ca la lansarea Chinese Democracy in Fire cu Trooper live n-am avut curaj sa ma duc !!! Zombie flick of the year ? Sau The Outpost companion ! Dar balls to -etallica pt guts: "Zombies, they fuckin creep me out man !!!"

Joe Satriani vs. Coldplay

sursa: maximum Rock:
In data de 4 decembrie, la curtea federala din Los Angeles, chitaristul JOE SATRIANI i-a dat in judecata pe britanicii de la COLDPLAY sub acuzatia de plagiat. Acesta sustine ca pentru piesa „Viva La Vida” a celor de la Coldplay au fost folosite „portiuni originale substantiale” din instrumentala „I I Could Fly” lansata de el in 2004.
