Metallica wears flip flops?

The other day while sitting here sipping my oh so tasty Alka Selter cold medicine flavored water, I was perusing the Rooster Teeth website. There’s a section which is full of all the many crazy images the site’s registered users upload to their profile. There were several pages of the usual lolcats and motivation images. Pretty boring stuff. Then finally I landed on something that literally made me LOL.

If you’re like me and grew up in the early 80s, a fan of rock and heavy metal music, chances are you’ll remember the classic song by Metallica called “One”. If not, let me refresh your memory.

That would be a shortened version of the song, but the part to focus on is around the 3:30 mark. James Hetfield snarls, “Darkness imprisoning me, all that I see, absolute horror. I cannot live, I cannot die, trapped in myself, body my holding cell.”

Now let’s take a look at this great image I found on Rooster Teeth the other day. It features a couple of the guys from Metallica out shopping, probably somewhere posh like Beverly Hills. Check out James Hetfield in his flip flops. Pretty funny. What really cracked me up though is the great caption someone added to the image.

By the way their new album Death Magnetic is awfully blah, but that’s discussion for another day.

    Death Magnetic isn’t as good as I was hoping it would be.

    Let’s hope AC/DC don’t disappoint next month with “Black Ice.”

    i guess in metal, you can never grow out of the “I dress in all black and am always sad” phase that you were in when you first started the band.

    That picture made me laugh. But hey, I’m surprised to hear you don’t like the new album! I don’t have it myself, but have heard nothing but good things about it.

    Metallica’s last good album was And Justice For All. Maybe they made too much money and forgot what metal was all about. I don’t even want to hear their new stuff!

    Totally agree with ya, Bobby. I don’t blame ya for not wanting to hear the new stuff. I got fooled into checking it out after reading reviews claiming that “Metallica was back”, etc, etc. Rubbish ;P
