Animal rights activists want Metallica booted from the Glastonbury music festival because frontman James Hetfield is an enthusiastic hunter, the Telegraph reports.
A Facebook page calling for their removal, launched shortly after the History Channel announced that Hetfield will narrate its new series about bear hunting, already has over 27 thousand likes.
The page says that Hetfield’s “support of big game hunting…is incompatible with the spirit of Glastonbury and brings its good name into disrepute.”
Hetfield, who once admitted that he missed his son’s birthday while hunting bears in Russia, is a member of the NRA and has described himself as “pretty conservative on a lot of things.” “I love nature,” he said in a 1993 interview with Rolling Stone. “I love the wilderness, and there is not much more of it left. It makes me hate people. Animals, they don’t lie to each other. There is an innocence within them. And they’re getting...

James Hetfield used to be one of the coolest guys in rock, then he did that awful movie and came off like a weirdo touchy-feely baby, in my opinion. “Yes, no guitar solos, that’s what we’ll do.” “Here’s our band therapist to tell us how to feeeeeel...”
The bear thing in this case is responsible wildlife management, as I understand it.

I’m a hard rock gal and I can tell you Hetfield moves good when he’s playing that guitar.

If even one is a meat eater, wears leather, or takes modern medicines, then they’re F’n hypocrites!
I hate the Left and their stupid ideas of feel-good “justice”!
I’m glad I never saw that.
Heaven and Hell was a real showcase tune for Ronnie Dio. The dude had a spectacular voice.

I’ll go out on a limb here and guess that Ted Nugent will never be invited to play this festival ... /s
I got the chance to see Dio, Motorhread and Iron Maiden (my personal favorite). Brought my daughter when she was in like 6th or 7th grade.
It left an impression on her ;) And Dio was freaking amazing live.

Christina Scabbia made A Tout Le Monde. That chick can sing.

The CD they made with the SF orchestra was awesome.
One of the things my 20 something son and I have in common.
Music is Music. Screw the political jerks. This band can make plenty of cash playing in other venues.
LOL
Here’s something people don’t complain about too much:
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg kills for his own meat. Like?
As CNN reports, it’s an odd dietary direction for the 27-year-old Internet billionaire. But he says that since he has taken to killing goats, pigs and chickens himself, “I’m eating a lot healthier foods. And I’ve learned a lot about sustainable farming and raising of animals. It’s easy to take the food we eat for granted when we can eat good things every day.”
Check out Lizzy Hale / Halestorm. that girl is amazing.
