milliondollarchamp Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 http://www.stuff.co.nz/4122952a1860.html UK airport officials believed Metallica singer James Hetfield could have been a terrorist because of his new "Taliban-like beard", according to reports. British newspaper The Times reported Hetfield was barred entry to Luton airport and questioned by staff over his appearance. He was interrogated briefly and was allowed to leave the airport when he persuaded officials he was a rock star. Hetfield's new beard was considered to be "Taliban-like", the paper reported. Metallica performed at the London leg of the Live Earth concert series over the weekend, and played at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday night.
NoCalMike Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 He's been terrorizing radio stations for a good 15 years now.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 HAfuckingHA! Awesome a 'terrorist beard', how 'racist' can you get, really.
dubq Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 This is what he gets for sucking so much since the black album.
Guest benoitwasmurdered Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 I read on Fark that he's saying it didn't happen.
Red Baron Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 This is what he gets for sucking so much since the black album. Load > Black Album
Corey_Lazarus Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 This is what he gets for sucking so much since Master of Puppets. Edited for accuracy. Wow...wonder what they'd do if Kerry King was in the airport and they didn't realize his eyebrows were pierced...and his arms covered in tattoo's...and...yeah, that went nowhere.
luke-o Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 This is what he gets for sucking so much. Edited for truth.
iggymcfly Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 This is what he gets for sucking so much. Edited for truth. Agreed. I think Metallica is the single most overrated rock band in the history of music. Their music's super repetitive and it's just a few basic melodies to begin with. Maybe music was just that bad in the '80s that people had low standards?
Corey_Lazarus Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 There was actually a lot in Metallica's 80's material that was sorely lacking from the majority of mainstream music, and is even lacking in most music today, that made (makes) their back catalogue pretty damn great. It's along the same lines of The Ramones (obviously to a much greater degree): people were doing it before them, but for some reason they added something to it that made it WORK. It's not perfect, it's not great, but it's better than a lot of other shit from the same era.
TheShooter Posted August 6, 2007 Report Posted August 6, 2007 Hetfield's new beard was considered to be "Taliban-like", the paper reported. Classic.
haws bah gawd Posted August 15, 2007 Report Posted August 15, 2007 Hetfield's new beard was considered to be "Taliban-like", the paper reported. Classic. That forked viking beard look is carrying-over to many groups these days.
