METALLICA LIVE - McGOVNEY YEARS?
Kerrang! reported that some obscure record-label will release a Metallica live album on vinyl this March. The album is supposed to be a pre-"Kill 'em All" album with Dave Mustaine and Ron McGovney in the lineup. The article also mentioned that on the album there will be a recording of "The Mechanix" a.k.a. "The Four Horsemen." The album is supposed to be as before mentioned on vinyl in March and on compact disc in May.

The release is according to Kerrang! approved by the Metboys themselves...

METALLICA - LIVE?
"I heard that the Metallimovie is called "Metallica - Live" and Metallica likes the soundtrack so much that they're considering using it to release a live album this year!"

This came from MicheleFM. When asked her source, she wrote: " I heard about Metallica - Live from an imported magazine I got at the airport called "Total Guitar" Feb. '98 issue 40 from the UK. It had Kirk on the cover and came with a cd that has Satan on it and The Memory Remains single and the backing as well. Other bands are on the cd, too.

BLACK LISTED!?
Is the reason Metallica has been deviod of Grammy nominations due to that fact that the band has played the American Music Awards? Several sources have leaked that the Grammy people have a secret policy to exclude artist's that play and/or support the AMA's. Metallica has won and performed on the American Music Awards as recently as last year. It should be noted that Re-Load's lack of Grammy nomination might be possibly due to its latter part of 1998 release. Late in the year releases are not as generally open to reaction as albums released earlier.
