In decembrie 2011, Metallica implineste 30 de ani de existenta. Momentul este sarbatorit prin patru concerte sustinute la Filmore (San Francisco), doar pentru membrii fan clubului Metallica. Evenimentele ar putea beneficia si de prezenta unor invitati surpriza, precum Ozzy Osbourne si Lemmy (Motorhead).

Primul dintre cele patru concerte a avut loc pe 5 decembrie si a beneficiat de interpretarea, in premiera, a melodiei Hate Train. O varianta de studio a piesei a fost trimisa pe email tuturor membrilor fanclubului Metallica, fiind apoi incarcata pe YouTube (dupa concert).

Metallica a mai lansat luna aceasta si un videoclip alaturi de Lou Reed (Velvet Underground), pentru piesa The View. Melodia este inclusa pe discul Lulu, despre care James Hetfield a declarat ca NU trebuie considerat "noul album Metallica". Materialul nu a fost bine primit de fanii Metallica, Lulu fiind catalogat drept una dintre marile dezamagiri din istoria muzicii. Detalii aici.

In 2012, Metallica va sustine un turneu in Europa, desi initial ar fi trebuit sa cante abia in 2013. Motivul devansarii turneului: criza monedei euro. Detalii aici.

Metallica - Hate Train

"Hate is a train

That thunders aimless through my head

And hate is the fame

Chained to the wheel until I’m dead

Rage is a flame

Creates a touch to boil the seas

And rage is to blame

Forever sorry I shall be

And from a darkness I descend

Clenching a torch of sweet revenge

You took away tomorrow, still I stand

I ride into the sorrow, still I stand

You took away tomorrow, still I stand

Straight down into the sorrow, but still I stand

Wrath is the name

Branding suffer onto you

And wrath takes the shame

And holds me down until its through

And from a darkness I descend

Clenching a torch of sweet revenge

You took away tomorrow, still I stand

I ride into the sorrow, still I stand

You took away tomorrow, still I stand

I sink into the sorrow, but still I stand

And hate is a train

A beast awakened by your call

And hate is a train

A beast that never slows at all

And from a darkness I descend

Clenching a torch of sweet revenge

Burst into flame, the bitter end

And shake the gates of hell again

I’m left to drown in sorrow…

You took away tomorrow, still I stand

I ride into the sorrow, still I stand

You took away tomorrow, still I stand

You left me here with sorrow, still I stand"
