Metallica are joining in with all your snare drum jokes as they team up with guitar app Fender Play

Metallica have announced that songs from St Anger are now available on online guitar learning app Fender Play – and have used the opportunity to take swipes at the much maligned album.

Metallica released St Anger as their eighth album on June 5, 2003, following years of intra-band tension due to bassist Jason Newsted’s exit and singer/guitarist James Hetfield entering rehab.

It was met with mixed reviews from critics and harsh backlash from fans, but still reached number one on the US Billboard charts.
