Metallica need YOUR help in preparing deluxe, remastered editions of their first two albums, Kill 'Em All (1983) and Ride The Lightning (1984).

A message from Metallica states: "A little over two months ago we reached out to you for your assistance with the definitive Master Of Puppets book that author Matt Taylor is assembling and you came through in a very big way – thank you!! We’re back again hoping you can dip into your personal archives and find some gems from the Kill ‘Em All and Ride The Lightning eras as we prep deluxe remastered versions of those two albums coming in 2015.

We want it all! Did you manage to sneak a video camera into a show long before they fit in your pocket? Maybe your old instamatic camera for some snap shots? A cassette Walkman with a microphone? We’re looking for anything and everything... audio, video, photos, fliers, ticket stubs, the set list you picked up off the floor, and in general any mementos you may have from that around that time.

Make your mark on these albums by e-mailing us at submissions@metclub.com to share your story and receive more info about submitting photos, videos, audio recordings and other mementos.

Remember, we want everything (well, everything that’s yours)! Nothing is too small or too trivial... share your archives with your fellow fans and have some fun with us walking down memory lane. By submitting it, you’re saying we can use it should your piece of history land on a release (yes, the lawyers made us add this part!)."

 

 

Metallica are scheduled for a week of performances on CBS' Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson.

Says the band: "We're excited to celebrate Craig Ferguson's final season on CBS as he has asked us to join him for an entire week of performances starting Monday, November 17th. We'll be playing every night that week and on the first night (Monday) we'll sit down with Craig to chat about all things 'Tallica.

Met Club members should log in for information about how they can be a guest in the studio audience during the filming of the show in Los Angeles, CA."

 

 

Tune in to the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on weeknights at 12:37 AM, EST.
