TO HELL & BACK

APRIL FOOLS!
"To Hell & Back": is it just name of the tour Metallica will set out on the summer of 2011? Is it just the name? The tour, which is said to rival Pink Floyd's extravagent show for their concept album 'The Wall' is now being described as more than just a stage show.
As expected, the tour will be well documented via HD cameras AND in 3-D(?). "We plan to capture the full Metallica show and make use of all current technologies - this will tbe Avatar of concert films." Mensch added "did I say concert film? It's much more than just a concert film."
When pressed for details, he hinted that guest stars will appear. "Obviously Michael Kamen cannot be there. But, his ideas will be there. What he started will be expanded on."
"We, or Metallica will take you to hell and back."
UPDATE: The General reports that Sirius satellite radio's Liquid Metal reported on this and included that the tour is expected to be preceded by a "interactive DVD" that may include new songs (song titles that were speculated on included 'Shine' and 'Hell and Back' - in a possible concept/storylined release).
