Metallica has quite the following, and Activision is taking full advantage of their robust fan base.

In anticipation of Guitar Hero Metallica, the publisher has released three behind-the-scenes videos titled "Into the Music," "The Music," and "The Game."  The videos explore different aspects of the production process, supplemented by commentary from the band.

They provide an insightful and humorous glimpse of what goes on in the studio, with more substance than any ol' trailer can provide.  Wouldn't it be great if all big game productions used this kind of promotion?

Enjoy the show.
