Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) interviewed Metallica for a 90-minute radio special, to begin airing on select radio stations this Friday, November 18th. The special, focusing on the making of Metallica’s new album, Hardwired…To Self Destruct, was recorded earlier this month at Metallica’s headquarters in San Rafael, California. Check out the interview below:

To celebrate the holidays and their new album, Hardwired...To Self-Destruct, Metallica have announced a special Oakland show. A band statement follows:

"In the last two months, we’ve been to New York City, Latin America and Europe so it’s about time we plan some festivities to celebrate the release of Hardwired…To Self-Destruct right at home in the Bay Area! And what better way to wind down the year than a special Fifth Members show in our own backyard at the historic Fox Theater in Oakland, CA as we hit the stage there on December 17th for the last time in 2016... it promises to be quite the party!

“If you would like to join us and you’re a Fifth Member, click here to enter to win an opportunity to purchase up to two tickets per member in a special pre-sale that begins on Thursday, November 17th at 10:00 AM. Fifth Member tickets will be specially priced at $25 each and all the proceeds will be donated to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Winners will be e-mailed a personal code on November 16th along with more details about how to purchase tickets to the exclusive one-of-a-kind show.

“If you’re not a Fifth Member, you’ll still have a chance to purchase up to two tickets per person on Friday, November 18th at 10:00 AM PST at Ticketmaster.com for a price of $100 each, again with all proceeds donated to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Everyone who comes to the show is encouraged to celebrate the spirit of holidays by bringing a donation of canned goods to the venue that night and we’ll have collection bins by all the entrances.

Take a break from the shopping and merriment to spread some holiday cheer with us in Oakland!!"
