VH1 had an interesting tid-bit on Metallica. It seems that for the first time in the band�s history they are throwing out songs. Up until now every song that the group has recorded has made it out to fans, according to the MTV report. But now the group is unhappy with some of the 30 songs they have been working on for their forthcoming CD and decided to throw out the weakest tracks to focus on the 10 to 20 strongests for inclusion on the new album which is expected to be completed by January. 

On Tuesday (Oct 29) drummer Lars Ulrich popped into the chat room on the group�s fan club site and filled fans in on the progress of the album and told fans that they have indeed trashed some songs that the group wasn�t happy with and are currently focusing on �round two of the keepers�. 

A release date for the album has not been set as of yet. The band also does not have a permanent replacement for departed bassist Jason Newsted, thus far in the studio producer Bob Rock has handled most of the bass duties and former Alice in Chains/Ozzy Osbourne bass player Mike Inez has been spotted in the studio with the group, but has not officially joined the band. 

According to MTV, Lars also told fans that Metallica will play some surprise shows at clubs, like their June performance at club Kimo�s in San Francisco. 

That�s about the only info we have right now but we�ll keep you Posted on developments on this album as they become known.
