I played Rock Band for the first time, thanks to some friends who just got it along with a brand new PlayStation 3.
I’m Living On The Edge
So, it has been 10 something days living with the iPhone 3G. It is not without flaws, but overall it has been a positive experience. I am usually roaming around the area where 3G coverage is available. Once in a while, I noticed where the 3G signals disappeared and forced me to be living on the Edge. To be honest, it is not a horrible experience on the Edge network. After all, I had the original iPhone for a little more than a year on the Edge network.
In addition to all of that, I had answered two emails prior writing this post. Here I go sending a tiny picture and this posting through the Edge network.
Currently Playing:
Aerosmith – “Living On The Edge”

Metallica: Death Magnetic Track Listing is Revealed
Metallica has revealed “Death Magnetic” track listing in running order:
- That Was Just Your Life
- The End Of The Line
- Broken, Beat & Scarred
- The Day That Never Comes
- All Nightmare Long
- Cyanide
- The Unforgiven III
- The Judas Kiss
- Suicide & Redemption
- My Apocalypse
——-
Editorial:
“The Unforgiven III” is in the record. What happened? No “Fade To Black II” or sequel to any other songs? “The Unforgiven II” was a nice follow up to the original. We’ll have to wait to hear Act 3 of the saga.
I thought I was reading “This Was My Life” as the first track of the record. It is actually “This Was Just Your Life.”
Anyway, I am looking forward to listening the record.
I like the song “Rush” by Tom Sawyer
VH1 is at it again. This time they are polling for 100 greatest Hard Rock Songs. To be honest, it is so lame because VH1 thinks that The White Stripes is any good at all. Are you kidding? What’s next? Jack White is better than Eddie Van Halen; wait a minute, The Rolling Stone Magazine said so.
Asides from that, VH1 wants the world to know that there is this one band called “Tom Sawyer” and their song titled “Rush” in the poll.
One would think that VH1 has some people watching out for any typos. What’s next? “Megadeth” by Peace Sells and “Metallica” by Enter Sandman.

Metallica: “Death Magnetic” Cover Art is Revealed
Metallica has revealed the cover art for “Death Magnetic,” the new album since 2003.
Higher resolution of the cover art can be found at Metallica’s own website.
As pictured above, the cover art depicts magnetic field surrounding a coffin-shaped grave. “Death Magnetic” cover art also marks the return of Metallica’s famous logo with slight alterations that was abandoned since “Load” in 1996, with the exception of “Garage Inc.” which was a facsimile of “Garage Days Re-Revisited” band logo.
As a side notes, some Blabbermouth readers posted funny comments about the cover art.
As previously confirmed, a special edition of “Death Magnetic” will be packaged in a coffin box. The Special Edition Box will include the full CD , a demo CD, “making of the album” DVD, a t-shirt only available in this box, a flag, guitar picks, and a fold out poster along with a collector’s credit card embossed with a code to redeem a free download of a special European show happening in September (details coming soon!). Special Edition contents are subject to change/finalize.
