According to Spinner,  earlier this year Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl penned an open letter to Metallica, urging the metal gods not to release new music until it was "kick-ass." Mission: accomplished. Now, Grohl and fellow Foo Taylor Hawkins will help the metal gods celebrate the release of their forthcoming album, 'Death Magnetic,' with a listening party, live from Metallica headquarters on September 4.

A post on the Metallica site reads: "You may have heard a little something about a radio show being broadcast live from our very own HQ. Well, we figured it would be a lot more fun if we invited some 'Tallica fans to come hang with us and low and behold, one thing led to another and Foo Fighters Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins actually said 'Yes!' So on Thursday, September 4, we're going to hang out, play tracks from 'Death Magnetic' and chat with Dave and Taylor."

The one-hour listening party will be streamed on Metallica.com and broadcast on stations around the country.
