Guitar Hero: Metallica not too far off

We may have known about the first tracks and gameplay features for upcoming Guitar Hero: Metallica, but when is it going to release? Well, according to a report by USA Today, Metallica says we should expect it early next year. Also, you'll be playing as a band that emulates Metallica, following them around and playing their songs. Maybe this should be called Guitar Hero: Crazy Bunch of Stalkers instead?

So, who's looking forward to this?
