I, TOO, WOULD LIKE TO THROW A PIE IN JAMES HETFIELD’S FACE

 Friday, August 7th, 2009 at 2:00pm by

Not that it would wake him from his creative stupor (although it would be awesome if it turned out that all Metallica needed to make incredible records again is a little bit of pie), but, assuming he didn’t kick my ass afterwards, it would a) make me feel better about how let down I feel by Metallica and b) it would be a funny story to tell.

But the people in the below video aren’t throwing pie at Hetfield because he’s a mere whisp of his former self – they’re doing it to celebrate his 46th birthday.

Fuck me. Hetfield is 46.

    Who cares! Let ‘em have some fun for fuck sakes. Everything this band does that’s even SLIGHTLY out of the ordinary gets ripped apart and it’s fucking pathetic. It’s not like they’re making St. Anger II.

    • Sammy

      What bearbomb said.

      • Fufkin

        Agreed.

  • Kyle

    how many crowd mullets did you count?

  • hi my name is mark

    If this happened to, say, God Forbid or iwrestledabearonce, we’d probably be reading nothing but praise. But since it’s happening to Metallica, we just get the usual “LOLZ THESE GUYS LET ME DOWN RAAAAAGE”.

  • Sammy

    Let’s see:

    A) Hetfield had fun with it.
    B) The band had fun with it.
    C) Hetfield thanked the crowd about three times.
    D) Hetfield made sure to mention a happy birthday to his guitar roadie.

    Yep, what an asshole.

    • stu1

      Guitar roadie?

  • Sammy

    I know, I know, Axl didn’t call Hetfield an asshole.

  • Johnny

    They should throw copies of the first five (YES FIVE FUCK YOU ALL) albums at the band, reality check.

    • Tommy Lindbergsen

      As far as I am concerned, Metallica broke up after AJfA

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Zach-Dolan/100000151486558 Zach Dolan

    Axl made “funny” Metallica comment… again.

  • Kyle

    Slow news day; time to Metallica bash. It gets old. Seriously. Love Metallica for what they once were and move on.

  • ???

    The MS/Metallica hatred is as old as the internets. Seriously, it stopped being funny years ago.

    • Tommy Lindbergsen

      Metallica stopped being valid years ago.

      • Sammy

        I know it’s easy to hate Metallica – and they deserve a lot of that disdain – but they’re not valid? You mean less than a half a year of touring that generates $45.5 million in gross sales in front of 740,917 fans (Reuters: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090808/music_nm/us_metal_1) is what’s considered not valid these days? Wow, I’d like to see what success looks like.

        • Tommy Linbergsen

          In my opinion, a bands validity isn’t based on how much money they make, more than half of the shitty bands that tour regularly and make shit tons of cash SUCK.
          If a band still makes good music, then they are valid, Metallica stopped making good music in favor of trying to be a mainstream rock band, only to turn back to a more metal approach after metal started being considered cool again by the masses. Now everything with them seems money driven.
          I guess you lose your drive when you start making a lot of money, and if that is truly the case, then I hope some of my favorite bands never reach that kind of so-called success.

          • Fufkin

            They still play great songs when they play live – get over it.

  • prives

    Metallica fuckin’ rules. So fuck you!

    • Bicro

      Seconded. Hate on bands that deserve it.

  • SonOF

    I can’t hate on Metallica…they have been bringing some great bands (Machine Head, Lamb of God, Down, The Sword, Mastodon, Avenged Sevenfold, Gojira) out on the road with them recently, exposing quality heavy music to the masses.

    • Malevolus

      None of those bands are quality heavy music.
      You should try to have higher standards for yourself.

  • Tommy Lindbergsen

    I’m sure Hetfield feels right at home with sticky white goo all over his face.

  • Attic

    You know I put Ride The Lightning on yesterday, album’s a lot better than I remember…

  • sYgnal

    Ya know, normally, I would hop on the bandwagon(no pun) about Metallica sucking and all, BUT, if you’re gonna be all pissy & enraged that Hetfield & Co. aren’t as good as they used to be then how can you justify posting article after article on this site about these shitty new bands that couldn’t pull an album out their ass that comes close to Metallica’s first four?! Especially, streaming the new Iron Age?? Talk about fucking crap….Their like a heavier & shittier version of the already shitty Motorhead. FUCK YOU!!

    This site should be named,”BloggersSuck” cuz Metal isn’t so bad in comparison!

  • JB

    Metallica died when the black album hit the shelves. All their “true” fans turned them off and all the preps and jocks acted like Metallica was god all of the sudden. The black album is the only CD I bought, opened, and threw in the trash an hour later………(no joke)

    If you ask me, bands like Bullet For My Valentine, Taproot, All That Remains, and Bloodsimple have replaced Metallica.

    I categorize Metallica in with, Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Def Leppard. Band that should stop making albums. Yes they sold millions of records…………BUT STOP ALREADY !!
