Metallica have released the trailer and poster for their new film Through The Never.

The film will open on IMAX screens in the U.S. on September 27, with a wider release, which we hope will include Australia, on October 4.

Earlier in the year, James Hetfield told Triple M's Higgo backstage at Soundwave about the film, which proved to be a big job fitting all the storylines, music and live footage together.

"The idea started off as a best of' show. Taking all the effects and props and ideas from all the tours from Ride The Lightning all the way up… Kill 'Em All was just us and a Vodka bottle," he laughs.

"The footage is unbelievable but we wanted a storyline along with it... [it's] about one of the runners in the show who goes on this crazy adventure trying to find this 'bag' that we need for the end of the show. There is a plot but we're still trying to figure it out!"

Doors Keyboardist Dies

Ray Manzarek, the founding keyboardist for the Doors, passed away this morning in Germany, according to a statement from his publicist.

The cause was bile duct cancer.

Triple M's Lee Simon spoke about Ray Manzarek, while Triple M Sydney's Becko added "he was the sound that defined the Doors."

"Ray Manzarek, succumbed to an illness that he'd been battling for a couple of years," Lee Simon said. "Some say the creative spark behind the band The Doors."

Manzarek was a member of the legendary rock band that formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, which effectively ended with the death of frontman Jim Morrison in 1971.

Manzarek is survived by his wife Dorothy, son Pablo, and three grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family ask that donations be made in Manzarek’s name to standup2cancer.org.

Dave Grohl jammed with The Rolling Stones on "Bitch" from the classic Stones album, Sticky Fingers over the weekend.

As you can see in the video, Dave joined the Rolling Stones at The Honda Center in Anaheim on guitar and vocal. At one point Dave takes over the lead and nearly pushes the song over the edge. Brilliant.

"Dave Grohl, take a bow," ends Mick Jagger.

There is still no word on The Rolling Stones coming to Australia, but we will keep you posted.
