On the other hand, if I had to hang out with Lars all the time, I’d probably be hitting the bottle too, LOL!
What happened that night was that Cliff and Kirk had what I think they described as a friendly argument about which of them was going to sleep in a particular bunk on the bus that night.
They decided to settle the matter by drawing cards. Cliff drew first, and he drew the Ace of Spades. They was no need for Kirk to draw, Cliff got the bunk.
Later on that night, the bus left the road, and everyone lived except Cliff, who was sleeping in the bunk he won with the Ace of Spades.
Because James is the Father of Metal.
IMHO.
I read that when they got in the accident, which was apparently precipitated by black ice, Cliff was thrown out of the bus and then died when the bus subsequently fell on him.
Does that make Ozzy the Grandfather of Metal?
Whoa - parking must have been tough, let alone the bathroom lines. What a crowd.
Ozzy is actually called the “godfather of metal” by the press.
I don’t know man.
James is just better than Ozzy.
I like Ozzy, but he’s got about 3 slots on my playlist, and James and the boys have a lot more.
My mother had 10 siblings. 3 Sisters & 7 brothers. 6 Of the brothers served & fought in WW2. All seven brothers were alcoholics as was one sister. They were all good generous people who were loved by all. I never understood and still can’t figure out why they all were like that. Maybe it was the depression life of being poor and then the military service. I don’t think they even knew why.
Oops, I should have sent this post along to you as well-

Sir Lord Baltimore
Egad!
That I did not know.
Holy Smoke!
“taking earnings out of his group’s and entourage hands.”
They can afford it.
All of them are very, very rich.
The rest of the band, and all the roadies would rather see Hetfield get it together than go on the road now.
He IS the bread, and butter.
I could no more handle the rock n roll touring circuit than I could being a bar tender. I could never be surrounded by booze, babes, and (fill in the blank) and remain sober for very long. I get it. As for treatment centers....its a great place to sober up and come back clear headed for the moment. But the real battle starts after treatment. Alcoholism has been a fact of humanity for...what...the Egyptians in the times of the Pharaohs learned how to distill pure alcohol.
Who knows what kind of substances they were abusing in antediluvian days.
Alice does that year after year and does it with joy.
:)
On a tour like this that rakes in millions, Metallica has at least 100 support people depending on Metallica for paychecks. These are the people Hetfield screwed by his irresponsible behavior. I wish him luck in defeating his (alcohol) demons. Good luck and prayers/
“Because James is the Father of Metal”.
Didn’t Black Sabbath come before him? And there were others.
I mean maybe they were alive or something, but they didn’t compose “Blackened”.
Some things are just better.
