Members of LAMB OF GOD, MASTODON, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, ALIEN ANT FARM and GOJIRA were interviewed at the U.K.'s Sonisphere festival about how they have been influenced and inspired by METALLICA. Watch the four-minute report below.

METALLICA filmed its July 7, 2009 concert in Nimes, France for an upcoming DVD release, but the catch is that the disc will be available only in France and through METALLICA's official website, Metallica.com. Since it's a French product, you'll also need an all-region DVD player in order to watch it in North America. The DVD will arrive on October 19. METALLICA also documented its three recent shows in Mexico City for DVD, although that looks like it will be released in Latin America only.

METALLICA starts a North American trek on September 14 in Nashville as it continues supporting 2008's "Death Magnetic" album.
