Metallica band breakup

An announcement from today after 29 years, masters of metal Metallica has broken up tonight on their "Death Magnetic" tour after Guitarist/Vocalist James Hetfield allegedly assaulted bassist Robert Trujillo. The spark came onstage as during the interlude to ‘Master of Puppets’ Trujillo attempted to outplay Hetfield with a Bass solo by Increasing the bass and using a “wah-wah” pedal. Fans are in uproar after hundreds of concerts worldwide have been cancelled over the controversial bassist’s lack of humility in a mainstream metal band. Even after the band’s last failed studio attempt, “Death Magnetic” (which in my opinion was complete crap, Nickelback’s “Dark Horse” contained better riffage and lyrical quality).

Sources state a trial will start in the U.S. within the next few weeks with Hetfield under House arrest in his Los Angeles estate, while Trujillo undergoes reconstructive surgery to re-align his broken jaw and shattered eye socket.

Following the media storm, second guitarist Kirk Hammet and drummer Lars Ulrich spoke out about Hetfield’s recurring violent outbursts backstage and at recording sessions, and are working through plans to replace Hetfield for the rest of their tour and call it quits for good.

“After so many years together there’s only so far a second-rate band like us could go for, being replaced by so many younger guitarists in the limelight the last few years I can tell it’s the right time to let it go and get on with better projects. Namely I’ve been thinking of touring countries and offering to jam with bands that can pull together people willing to play, but I don’t know I’ll have to see how the trial goes.
