[Cecily]

Sad to break up the family after all these years and challenges.

[BipolarBob]

I want my drugs and anger issues MORE than I want a loving stable family said no sane man ever.

[Poison Pill]

That’s a long time. Wonder how much of his $300 Mil she gets?

[kiryandil]

Could you imagine living for YEARS with some POS that could go off at any moment?

[Drew68]

Well, she got old.

Expect we'll soon see Hetfield with his new girlfriend, 35 years younger than him.

The burdens of being a rock star.

[CodeToad]

“Could you imagine living for YEARS with some POS that could go off at any moment?”

Well, men make do knowing this about women.

[plain talk]

Alcohol withdrawal is bad. Substance abuse / withdrawal may have taken its toll.

[kiryandil]

Well, men make do knowing this about women.

The shoe is on BOTH feet, as you point out.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Yep. Drugs and anger are more important to him than a loving wife.

Of course, the true story is probably that he didn’t get cleaned up, fell off the wagon one too many times, so she left him.

[griffin]

You could ax mah wife.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Stupid. He must have put that family through a lot. I don’t know all the circumstances, just hate to see it.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

My wife is a saint — she never goes off. We’ve been married 39 years and dated about 3 before that.

Well, I did see her get mad a few months back about an interminable problem with IRS where they screwed up and they won’t fix it.

The IRS are incompetent clowns who don't answer their phones.

I believe they'll be moving to "vicious lying clown scum" status when they get their JoekBucks and automatic weapons.

[Secret Agent Man]

Probably way too much.

[Secret Agent Man]

Sure, its called having a wife.

[algore]

back in the early 80s I put a metallica tape in my mothers car stereo, (she was a classical pianist and teacher)

at dinner she she mentioned that she liked the Metal-eeka.

my sisters and I cracked up laughing.

I have never seen Metalica in concert, but I have seen Apocalyptica. while I can play the cello they are better than I am.

Not really surprising.

If you haven’t ever seen the Metallica documentary “Metallica: Some Kind of Monster” give it a look.

At the time it was filmed at least, every one of those jackasses in that band needed a proper ass kicking x 3.....Hetfield included.

I have never seen a bunch of more self absorbed, rich, spoiled babies with a self entitlement mentality in my life.

Every one of ‘em got bitch in ‘em.

“Well, men make do knowing this about women.”

LOL!!!! :) So true.

[sauropod]

Agree.
