While Metallica just released Lulu -- their collaborative album with Lou Reed -- earlier this month, it looks like it won't be the only time the band can be heard on a new release this month. Considering a new studio album is most likely at least a year away, that can only mean one thing: Metallica have been sampled. By Rihanna.
Reports are streaming in that the pop singer has sampled Metallica's "Wherever I May Roam" for a track on her new album, Talk Talk Talk. The track in question is titled "Red Lipstick."
"Wherever I May Roam" originally appeared on 1991's Metallica.
