Metallica's "All Nightmare Long" Video Premieres

Metallica have unleashed their new video for the Death Magnetic epic "All Nightmare Long." While the band doesn't actually show up in the video, the nine-minute clip could be the best Metallica video since "One," and possibly even the best video of the year. Combining the a Grindhouse-esque worn film look with equal parts Russian educational documentary, Watership Down style animation and Re-Animator, the video tells the story of a strange spore that falls to Earth that first heals wounds and revives dead pets but eventually leads to a zombie takeover in the former USSR. It's like Planet Terror wrapped into ten minutes without the terrible ending and Quentin Tarantino cameo. Check out the video above.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
