An April 22 publication date has been set for an unauthorized biography of James Hetfield, titled "James Hetfield: The Wolf At Metallica's Door". Penned by Scottish author and journalist Mark Eglinton, the book features interviews with key figures from Hetfield's past, including childhood friends, as well as members of ALICE IN CHAINS, PANTERA, ANTHRAX and others. A press release describes the book by saying, "This honest and definitive biography . . . successfully humanizes and demystifies one of metal's most guarded individuals." A portion of the proceeds from U.K. sales of the book will be donated to the Cancer Research charity.

METALLICA is planning a new live show for 2011 that one of the band's managers says will be the band's "equivalent of (PINK FLOYD's) 'The Wall'." According to a new interview with METALLICA co-manager Peter Mensch in England's Classic Rock magazine, the group will play in just 10 cities with a production that will "blow your mind." Mensch added that the show "will be a huge undertaking," although he did not provide any further details.

For the "Death Magnetic" tour, as they've done for a few years, METALLICA has been playing in the round on a stage that brings them close to the audience. But drummer Lars Ulrich told The Pulse of Radio that the band had a different concept at first. "We had initially a very next level, kind of multi-million-dollar stage planned that all kinds of gadgets and walkways and it would make breakfast for all the fans — I mean, it was like, you could land helicopters, I mean it was, the whole thing was crazy," he said. "And one day we kind of looked at it and was like, 'This is too OTT.' And we actually went completely in the other direction to just scale it down."

METALLICA just completed a tour of Latin and South America on Sunday (March 14) in Puerto Rico. Some of the stops were marked by riots outside the arenas.

The band next heads to Europe, beginning on April 13 in Oslo, Norway.
