Metallica Play Surprise U.S. Show was a top 10 story this week . Here is the recap: Metallica played a surprise gig this week in Los Angeles. Here is what the band had to say: Our friends over at Activision, the fine folks who bring you the "Guitar Hero" games, noticed a small hole in the Metalli-tour schedule in between Australian dates and rang us up to invite us to the launch of their next "Call of Duty" game, "Black Ops."One thing led to another and next thing we know, we're playing at the party!!! Kinda like that top secret (yeah, right!) show we did in Austin at the South By Southwest Music Festival when our "Guitar Hero" game was released in March of 2009.
The end result is that on this Thursday, November 4, we'll be in Santa Monica, CA rockin' at the Santa Monica airport, Hangar 8. In addition to celebrating the release of "Call of Duty: Black Ops," the event will raise funds for The Call of Duty Endowment, a non-profit organization that helps soldiers transition to civilian life and assists them in establishing jobs and careers. - more
