OK. Here's how it all breaks down.
The Stubbs schedule for the South by Southwest festival was republished this morning with some interesting changes. On Friday, March 20th, at 10:00 pm there will be a Guitar Hero Metallica challenge -- not all that exciting.
But the 10:30 slot is filled by a band called Volsung, hailing from "Somewhere, Norway." Volsung, a band no one has ever heard of, has a two hour, prime-time slot at one of the best venues in Austin, during one of the best music festivals in America.
Is Volsung a cover-up for Metallica? According to Norwegian mythology, Volsung was killed by a Geatish king, and then avenged by one of his sons, named Sigmund. More importantly, though, is that in the English story of Beowulf, after Beowulf slays Grendel, a Danish bard sings about Sigmund and his father.
Lars Ulrich is Danish!
Coincidence?

I won exclusive tickets to the event from the Metallica Club. I'll be there. I just hope there's a M&G and concert.

Metallica's opening act is people playing a video game with plastic guitars to Metallica music? Welcome to the 21st century kids.
