Want to ride the lightning? Then you had better log yourself onto Xbox Live and download the demo for Guitar Hero: Metallica.

We don’t know what’s included in the 1GB demo because we’re still waiting for it download, but apparently it involves unleashing your inner metal God. We didn’t know we had one…

Head over to the Xbox.com Marketplace to add it to your download queue.
