Ever since Activision released Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, rumors have been circulating about the other bands that might get the GH treatment. Among the most popular names floating around are The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. And while they might have their own Guitar Hero game in time (fingers crossed), it seems that next up in line is the legendary thrash metal band, Metallica.

Drummer and RIAA co-conspirator Lars Ulrich all but confirmed rumors with a statement he made to MTV News:

There’s an Aerosmith game out there that’s super successful, and if somebody’s gonna follow that up…we’re talking, and its exciting, and the people at ‘Guitar Hero’ and Activision are rapidly becoming our best new friends in the world. You can put the rest of it together yourself.

Sounds like a done deal. Though Lars might just be getting his panties all in a bundle to promote Metallica’s upcoming album, Death Magnetic. You can use your own powers of logic and deduction to solve the rest of this mystery. No need to call out Scooby Doo and the crew. This is sounding pretty much in the bag. Although, this does come from a band whom before every album claims to be “going back to their roots”. We can only hope, Lars. We can only hope.
