AUDIO: Metallica issues second unreleased track

Metallica played the second of four 30th Anniversary shows Wednesday night at the Fillmore in San Francisco.

Just as with Monday night’s opener, the band were joined by many special guests, including former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, Lou Reed, Kid Rock, Marianne Faithfull, Scott Ian (Anthrax), Mercyful Fates’s King Diamond, Hank Shermann, Timi Hansen and Michael Denner, Ray Haller (Sweet Savage) and John Bush (Armored Saint).

The setlist featured a real rarity: “Just A Bullet Away,” a previously unreleased song from the “Death Magnetic” sessions.

A rough-mix version of the studio recording was e-mailed to members of Metallica’s official fan club…and has surfaced online.

"We're pretty excited to be bringing these songs back to life nearly four years after they were recorded,” said Metallica. “Once again, this is the unpolished version of the song... the original rough mix from March of 2008 in its rawest, untouched form."

This is the second “Death Magnetic” track to be given to fans, following “Hate Train,” which was provided after Monday’s gig -- you can check that song out here.
