Metallica

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, Black Bubblegum shows me this picture. He also pointed out that Metallica is streaming their new single "The Day That Never Comes" at their myspace. Tour dates and a whole bunch of comments HERE.

I'm sure he's just holding that bag for his wife.

Oh, man, you DOUCHE!!!

The Armani bag is better than those shorts. Looks like he has been hanging out at the beech, circa 1984!

Way-Too-Many-Un-Necessary-Braids-And-Ugly-Back-Tat-Bitch seems to be more interested in the Eurotrash floating about SoHo than Hetfield.

She must listen to Girl Talk.

i never thought i'd see the day but that day finally came

I'd love to put 1988 Hetfield in front of 2008 Hetfield, just to watch him punch himself in the face.

Posted by Mark | August 21, 2008 3:04 PM

@oh my damn!

That can't be SoHo, the car has a European license plate.

i'm so glad metallica went after all those punk downloaders so they had money to shop at... armani.

what a joke.

Posted by Anonymous | August 21, 2008 3:13 PM

Well-coifed too!

Posted by ando | August 21, 2008 3:13 PM

I stand corrected.

Those pedestrians could be shopping in any up-scale neighborhood, though. Dear Lord, they all look the same.

Posted by oh my damn! | August 21, 2008 3:15 PM

I'd hit it.

he looks like he might be outside a hotel in the morning

Atleast Axl Rose still has his balls intact.He didn't become the posterboy for pussywhipped married dudes.

arent they touring in europe now?

high fives

Could still be SoHo as there are cars driving around there with euro plates all the time.

As if any more proof is needed, Metallica is SO WACK!

Posted by Anonymous | August 21, 2008 4:00 PM

I agree but but who'd marry Axl Rose?

Posted by Anonymous | August 21, 2008 4:03 PM

as priceless as this picture is (i've always found metallica to be full of themselves, and this picture gives me a chance to point and go ha ha ha), i have to admit, i'm relieved to see the current incarnation of hetfield. what's way more worse is dudes wearing the same hairstyle and the same clothes 2-3 decades later. like for example, bret michaels http://www.bretmichaels.com/photo.htm

people are way more classy when they're comfortable being/acting old(er), and happier if they really are. that is a sign of having *lived*. but still, ha ha ha.

he is not as blue collar as i like my rock stars to be. good heavens!

SO what are you trying to say about Lemmy, just spit it out already.

That guy in the black tshirt looks like he's about to slap the shit outta sum bitch

Posted by Anonymous | August 21, 2008 4:17 PM

I wouldnt wear those shorts. my grandpa wouldnt wear those shorts. they are plain ugly. but a freebie crown royal t-shirt is sharp.

Posted by Anonymous | August 21, 2008 4:27 PM

those chicks wouldn't piss on Hetfield if he was on fire.

Posted by Anonymous | August 21, 2008 4:39 PM

That's his moms in the back with the white sunglasses and his daughter in the middle who dates the guy who's about to slap her

Posted by Anonymous | August 21, 2008 4:43 PM

isn't that guy the crouching bass player?

Posted by Anonymous | August 21, 2008 4:48 PM


her: i wish you'd dress more like my dad. Grow up.
him: what the fuck did you just say to me??

Posted by Anonymous | August 21, 2008 4:52 PM

It's official: Bon Jovi is somehow cooler than Metallica. Hey James, "Have A Nice Day!" Dork.

If by Soho you mean Italy, yes.

Posted by Anonymous | August 21, 2008 4:57 PM

Baby... I told you the kids will make fun of me if I go to Armani with you! Fuck this... I'm going to work on my cars... can you make an appointment for my therapist?

Posted by James Hetfield | August 21, 2008 5:01 PM

"If by Soho you mean Italy, yes."

Right, because the only retail stores that sell Armani Collezioni are in Italy.

Posted by whatever | August 21, 2008 5:22 PM

If by SoHo you mean anywhere in the world they sell Armani Collezioni but Soho then yes

They say the photo was taken in Milan on July 24. Check out all the Jezebel commenters swooning over Rob Trujillo.

people that post on bv like metallica?

Yo the new Metallica song is mad good.

Posted by michaelways | August 22, 2008 8:30 AM

What a Fucking chump. No wonder they are so opposed to the mp3 world. They have to keep up with their Giorgio Armani collections, and designer shorts. Good God! How things change corporate Fucks.

Posted by Anonymous | August 22, 2008 8:33 AM

metallica was never good or cool. worst vocals ever. except for craig finn.

Posted by Anonymous | August 22, 2008 10:30 AM

Though evolved, Metallica continue to keep the award for worst snare sound on record.

Posted by greg | August 22, 2008 10:42 AM

Lars Ulrich is a shit drummer

Posted by Anonymous | August 22, 2008 11:43 AM

sooooo metal

that looks like a fresh pedicure...? not exactly riding the lightning nowadays...first glance i thought this was hootie and the blowfish. just shows, even metal gods age like baby-boomers after they go platinum.

i judge.

Posted by ddnyc | August 22, 2008 11:34 PM

The fact that any of you are surprised by this is much more sad.

Posted by Anonymous | August 25, 2008 2:44 PM

Fuck Metallica, they always sold something they are NOT. And with that they made millons, and with those millions instead of supporting their followers they got o shop to armani, fuck them and all the armani shoppers. ZEITGEIST
