Heavy rockers Metallica will appear in an episode of the hit TV show The Simpsons in September. The hitmakers will be special guests in the first episode of the cartoon’s 18th season and recorded their voiceovers last autumn. Metallica follow fellow rockers The Rolling Stones, U2, Aerosmith and George Harrison who have all become animated guest stars on the show. [Source]

It’s good to see the masters of metal joining sides with our favorite family. Metallica and the Simpsons have a lot more in common than you may think. They both redefined their respective genres and permanently altered pop culture history. Both have built themselves into multimillion-dollar-a-year commercial brand names. And they both should have stopped doing what they are doing about ten years ago while they were still relevant and people actually liked them.
