Yesterday I wrote about Pearl Jam’s Ten album becoming a DLC for Rock Band 2 this coming March. That’s really big news considering how huge that album is.

Guitar Hero is not going to take things sitting down though as it recently gave more information on its upcoming Guitar Hero: Metallica game.

In an interview that appeared in USA Today, Alan Flore, lead designer for Neversoft, as well as Metallica’s Kirk Hammet and Lars Ulrich talked about the new game.

All three agreed that the game will be extremely challenging especially when it comes to the old Metallica songs. This goes across all instruments, with the drums featuring brutal double bass playing. The game will also not be sequential because of the obvious difficulty of earlier songs.

Players will begin the game by auditioning for Metallica through two tracks and once they are accepted they will tour with the band through some real-world venues. Other bands will also be appearing on tour but no details were given regarding this.

Finally, Ulrich hinted that Guitar Hero: Metallica will most likely be made available in March.
