Metallica Terrorizes The UK

James Hetfield: “Raar! They confiscated my razor and look what happened!”

The only thing less dangerous than a sober James Hetfield is a sober James Hetfield with confused chin-hair. I’d look angry too if my face grew a scraggly thicket like that – honestly, it makes him look more like he’s been riding the rails for a time rather than the enraged rock god of yore who wrote EET FUK on his guitar and ripped mad solos while rocking a manlier-than-thou handlebar moustache – now that was some facial hair to be proud of. But I digress.

According to this story, poor Het was waylaid by overzealous UK border guards on his way to play Live Earth on Saturday. Imagine the conversation: “Yes, I have a dumb beard but you’ve got it backwards – the US Army uses my music to PUNISH terrorists.”

The moral of the story: they let him through, Metallica played Live Earth, and the world was saved from Climate Catastrophe. The End.
