A Few More Things: Billy Joel, Metallica, Gnarls Barkley
Here is your chance to watch Metallica perform in Antarctica without bundling up and braving the cold.
Check out the video below to see the band’s full Dec. 8 gig at a dome at the Carlini Argentine Base in Antarctica.The “Freeze ‘Em All” show was attended by Coca Cola contest winners from Lain America who won a 10-day cruise to Antarctica, research scientists, and the crew of the ship.
James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo can now brag that Metallica is the only group to play concerts on all seven continents in under a year. The Antarctica show was also unique because the audience members all wore headphones that received a transmission of the show to protect the environment from noise pollution.
The performance is available to purchase as a download at LiveMetallica.com.
Billy Joel will get 2014 started when “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” broadcasts the Piano Man performing the first song of the New Year.
Joel is spending Dec. 31 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. You’ll have to tune in to ABC to find out which one of his classic hits Joel will play following the big count down.
The lineup for the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve features previously announced performers Blondie, Capital Cities, Miley Cyrus, Daughtry, Jason Derulo, Fall Out Boy, Florida Georgia Line, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, Icona Pop, Enrique Iglesias, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Robin Thicke and The Fray.

CeeLo Green is apparently teaming up with Danger Mouse once again in 2014.
TMZ caught up with the singer/songwriter/rapper/reality judge at Los Angeles International Airport Sunday to ask him about the prospects of a Gnarls Barkley reunion.
Green’s brief but promising response was, “Yeah, like next year.”
That’s all we know. Guess we’ll have to see if Green is referring to an album and/or tour.
Rolling Stone points out that the duo never officially split. Gnarls Barkley released its sophomore and most recent album, The Odd Couple, in 2008. That year was also the last time the group toured.
