Metallica's "King Nothing" coming for DLC?

Just did my weekly check of the spa.bin (translation file) in the DLC files, and it looks like an extra one showed up in there this week - "King Nothing", which is a Metallica song from their Load album.

Here's a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3m4cypxU2I

This one's especially interesting to me because I didn't think there was any way we'd ever get more Metallica in RB, especially after Enter Sandman didn't make the jump to RB2.

Anyway, you know the drill, don't take it as official until properly announced, but being in the translation file has generally been a good sign in the past.

Maybe HMX secretly makes the Metallica charts for themselves just so they can play Metallica on RB in spite of us.

Just a theory. But the hints keep rolling in...

This would be nice, even though we were supposed to get "The Day That Never Comes" a long time ago.

Isn't Fuel from the same album?

Maybe if this checks out there will be some hope for Fuel.

Are you fucking kidding me? Shit from Load? That is THE worst Metallica album.* If you like Fuel, you'll LOVE anything pre-Black Album. And King Nothing? Did they think transferring over Sandman would hurt sales of this? Because they're basically the same thing. Goddamn, this pisses me off.

*St. Anger just DID NOT happen.

side note: I was really pissed before reading this. I'm sure in the morning I'll be rainbows and hearts for this.

Hmm, and here I was beginning to think you all were a bit silly for still faithfully checking the innards of the files every week, even after the clues seemed to dry up post-leak-mishap from this spring.

Good find. Looks like I'll have... one more track to groan and hope to hell (in vain, I imagine) won't be picked 95% of the time in random online quickplay.

At least it's something new from the constant rotation of AJFA/Ride the Lightning/Blackened. Yeah yeah, I guess I can just not buy it...

But, oh, completionism...

Will be good to see them still able to get Meatllica, nonetheless.

My source is that there is no source, ever, saying that they ARE a Guitar Hero exclusive. Hell, at E3 (or something) the big Guitar Hero announcement was that they have exclusive deals with Van Halen, the Eagles, and Aerosmith (correct me if I'm wrong). Don't you think they'd be waving Metallica around as well if they nailed them?

Plus, and I never saw this so it's only hearsay, I heard that Metallica had written on their website that they wouldn't be exclusive so as not to screw over their fans.

What a terrible choice of a song from a band that is dying to stay relevant. I hope this is inaccurate and it is actually a King Diamond song and a song off of Meshuggah's album "Nothing".

I will still buy GH: Metallica.
