Rumor has it that 'Völsung' (from "Somewhere, Norway") is actually Metallica (photos).  Given that the rumor's out there, have to hope it's true – 'cause how awful would it be if there actually is a 'Völsung', and the Norweigians take the stage and disappoint all the metal-heads who sat through the 'Guitar Hero Metallica Madness Competition'?…

(crossed out – Völsung no longer listed, but that might just be a ruse…)
