BBC Radio 1 are currently in the middle of another week of Radio 1 Rocks, where the station celebrates rock with a week of special programming.

We’re very pleased to be debuting the video to their brand new song, ‘Get Gone’.

It may have just been last June when James Hetfield stood in front of 80,000 people at Download Festival 2012 and called out to his Metallica family over and over, but here’s a photo of James Hetfield with his Hetfield family.
