"Metallica: Terrorist threat?"
Inneresting! CLICK HERE to read the article accompanying this headline.
Metallica singer James Hetfield was investigated by UK airport officials who believed he was a terrorist this week, it has been claimed. The star was barred entry to Luton airport on Thursday and questioned by staff who were concerned about his appearance. Fears that Hetfield might be involved in terrorism were apparently founded on his "Taliban-like beard", according to The Times. He was allowed to leave the airport after a brief interrogation, when he persuaded officials that he was a rock star. Metallica play Live Earth at Wembley Stadium in London tomorrow, before headlining the venue for their own show on Sunday evening.

It was probably some guard pissed at him for bringing down Napster.
metallicaaaaaaaa
it was LARS you idiot. go read a history book.
hetfield…
Punit 69 Sucks, Metallica is the God of Rock..
Great!!! Sweet sweet revenge for the naspter thing.
huh? I watched them on Live earth and i don't remember seeing his taliban like beard.
OMG. So the day after 9/11, the US allows Bin Laden's family to leave the US but the UK wont let the singer for Metallica in because of his beard… What a F**KED up world we live in…
Metallica Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait for their new album without Bob Rock!
Hahaha that's so hilarious. As a Metallica fan, I'm gettin a great feckin laugh out of it!!
and would i be alone in thinking that hetfield is sooooo hot?!?!
okay….. just me then….. **swoon**
All these website changes, and still nothing to correct Perez's HORRID spelling.
ummmm, he always spells it as "inneresting". It's a joke, and u end up looking like an ass when u don't get it.
METALLICA!!!
This is kind of funny actually. Now we're detaining people because they have "taliban-like" beards??? haha…. that's too funny…
aw people always beat down on the metalheads like they're the fucking antichrists. leave them alone.
That is hilarious.. The person that refused to let him in, made a HUGE ass of themselves.. priceless..
I myself, am seeing Metallica on Friday and I can't wait. It's gonna be awesome!
bizzatch: That was Lars that started the whole thing
punit69: You obviously don't know what GOOD music is!
haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahaha!!!!!
Figures it was Lars, everyone hates Lars, Lars is fake as hell, hes the reason that metallica turned into a bunch of loonies.
Yes I agree James Hetfield is smoking HOT!!! Go rent "Some Kind of Monster." ps. Perezita's spelling errhors are meant to be Humorous and Charming, am I right? go sit on your thumb if you've got nothing else to do.
i'm a little fag boy.
wwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee wooooooooooo
Screw him. We shouldn't have let him back in either, and he could have lived like a bum in the terminal. That tattoo looks like a Ford symbol. Maybe Ford should sue this P*&%Y for stealing their logo. What a pantywaste.
Taliban? It looked more like a skinhead beard to me.
Love Hetfield! As an aside, this is the first time posting and the system told me I can only post every 15 minutes and to slow down cowboy. Perez, you're as low-budget as always.
how dumb..get a grip
just because i dont like metallica doesnt mean i dont know what good music is, all im saying is the lead singer has no talent, at all
no its not a fucked up WORLD we live in its the fucked up USA that has made everyone so paranoid when really what they should be worried about is what the govt is doing right behind their very backs.
Whatever bad happens to him I'm happy. Used to strip in the 80's in a nude joint in LA (no alcohol) and this fucker did not tip at all, to anyone. Hmm, does the suing of Napster make sence now?
I HAVE SUCKED/DEEPTHROATED EVERY MEMEBR OF METALLICA!!!
James Hetfield was hot loooooooong time ago
ZZ top guys would get the chair. (if U.K had the chair, stupid britts. 'cept Scots. they rock.)
bid Prez and all here peace love and understanding
cheers
ceann rua
Why doesn't Metallica just take a private jet? God knows they can afford it.
what!?
thats the most rediculous thing i've heard all day.
IM SO GAY AND FAT
wow. they are making news again!
That's a Taliban-like beard?!?!?
Besides, if they were to arrest anyone, it should be Lars. He caused a lot of the DRM problems in this world.
Oh my god, who wouldn't recognize Het? Oh well, bet they feel stupid now. Metallica rules. Everyone else is just jealous.
All this about Perez's spelling…being a Canadian born of British descent, I can say that by spelling "INTERESTING" "INNERESTING"- HE WAS MAKING A NOD AT HOW GUTTERAL COCKNEY ACCENTS WOULD PROUNOUNCE THE WORD
hahaha thats some ridiculous ass shit when metallica is the mecca of anti terrorism
metallica rocks, hetfield is a rock god, and clearly those uk "officials" are idiots.
Just goes to show how fucking ridiculous international airport security has gotten. James Hetfield is one of the most regognisable faces in music…the fact that he was believed to be a terrorist for his beard not only shows the sheer ignorance of these security officials towards public figures, but the general public as well. You can only imagine what real Arab scholars/travelers actually go through to travel.
…That being said, METALLICA RULES!
stupid, The police and whatnot should no better then jump on someone cause of a mustache…beard…what..beard????
The police better check their eyes..just cause james got a mustache ohwell…..and james beard?………..what…………….beard???
smucks!
pfffft hahahahaha that is funny!
Metallica rocks u fucking morons..
you all suck for even commenting on this dude! Il uv ya Perez huuny!
Stupid brits. Since when does a blone American guy (who has been a HUGE rockstar for decades) get treated like this. Taliban my ass, they just wanted an excuse to interview him in peace
They were holding him until he admitted that Napster wasn't such a bad thing after all.
Money grubbing bastard!
WTF??? Wow….talk about taking stereotyping to a whole new level….
fuck all ya'll, i love james! they let all those muslims live in the uk yet a white dude gets stopped. thats messed up.
I think that is so hilarious because as far as I know, Hetfield is some Toby Keith lovin', playin' on the country channel with Bocephus redkneck.
off to never never land baby !
staff being concerned about hetfield is just a bad sterotype because of his tattoos and facial hair. What stupidity people cast on others by their ignorance
Damn, that's harsh. Not only unrecognized, but confused with Taliban as well. SHOWER BEFOREHAND NEXT TIME, BITCH.
staff being concerned about hetfield is just a bad sterotype because of his tattoos and facial hair. What stupidity people cast on others by their ignorance!

metallica USED to be AMAZING….now…they suck…but i still love james.

Wish I was the one who 'held' and 'searched' him…yum!

ewwww, they don't know Hetfield?? don't know Metallica?! hell, metal dudes ain't supposed to look like zac efron!!
metallica sucks ass juice.. oh.. and so do you.. YES YOU!
James a terorrist? HE wouldn't hurt a fly. This is a guy who goes to Wiggles concerts and ballets…..Metallicaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
heh. james is lookin' like pr0n tranny freak buck angel. wunner if he pulls his drawers off and has a hoo-hoo like buck, too.
its an old photo, Het had a beard when he played live earth. I bet Lars was laughing his ass off at him. Lets hope this experience doesn't provide material for the new album like rehab did for St Anger.
Haha that's fucking hilarious. I love Metallica! But James looks exactly like the washed up alcoholic he is.
Oh shit…he must be like 5'2" or something.
This is such a wretched security system airports have. It's fucking right out silly. "wooo he's got a scary lookin beard…reminds me of a taliban terrorist….fuck it i think i'll shoot him anyways"….my god…….get your heads out of other peoples crotches and smell the fresh air….look around you……a good percentage has gross ugly beards even some women..(gags)…..u gonna arrest them too?…..
“Taliban-like beard”-It is hilarious!!lol
SEEK AND DESTROY!!!!!!!!!!!!
METALLICA IS THE BEST BAND AROUND! AND THIS IS A SAD AND FUCKED UP THING TO READ BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW HE IS NOT BEING TREATED DIFFERENT (LIKE SOME BLOND SLUT WE KNOW) AND HAS TO GO THROUGH THE SAME SHIT NON-CELEBS HAVE TO. ALSO TO THE FUCK HEAD THAT SAYS HE'S 5'2 TRY OVER 6'0…..
Must we be afraid of everyone? I think we should be most afraid of politicans
He should have been detained for looking like C. Everett Coop.
Thats funny. I love Metallica! And James is yummy! And again, where is the Taliban like beard?
james hetfield's ego truly IS a terror!!!
How can James Hetfield possibly looking like a freakin Taliban member?! And what rock were these guys living under that he wasn't recognised?!
this has to be the biggest bunch of bullshit i have ever heard in the whole of my life! since when did the times stoop so low?
i love him!!! thats the funnyist thing ive heard all day
give me a fucking break…the only thing he terrorizes is the microphone and his guitar…Metallica kicks ass…the Spice Girls are the real terrorists
yeah, he wishes he was still a rock star. Metallica sucks a$$ for going after downloaders… boooooooo
punit69, You Suck Ass!! Metallica Rocks!!
I'm sure that the entire nation will go to code magenta when ZZ Top goes on tour in Great Britain.
Metallica Rocks!!! Hetfield rules!!! British airport security Dopes!!!!
OMG guys gimme a break!!! can't you find someone better to pick on
METALLICA!!! Taliban beard or not James is hot… they rock (except freaking Lars)
Are you kidding me?? What a bunch of fucktards! Hetfield is a GOD!
Metallica will always be the greatest band EVER!!! And I'm sure James really gives a shit what you idiots think of his looks, drinking, music, etc. After all was said and done, James probably got a good laugh out of it , too. And as far as Napster goes..you people wouldn't want anyone getting your shit for free. So shut up cheap asses and go buy a CD. Love ya, James, Lars, Kirk
hahahahahah so so funny,, stupid idiot with his beard,, I use to love Metallica,, until they sold out and became the bitches of Napster (i know this was mainly the nasty girly Lars) but Metallica sucked after this,, bunch of pusses!!! sorry,, i'm just really bitter still that my fav. metal band turned into girlyboobs,, grrrrr go to hell Metallica,, pusses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what? dont they know who JAMES HETFIELD is??? I suppose he is still famous, or not?
They're a bunch of asswipes anyway.
Perez is a nasty fag and needs to get a life. Fagez is a pickle biting homo
No WAY!! James Hetfield is WAY too sexy to be a terrorist! He can drop a bomb on me ANYDAY!!!!
James can fist me anytime.
Mais voyons, Metallica c'est dla merde. tout l'monde sait ça!
And the British are so smart and cultured.
Jesus - hes sooooo hot - I have loved metallica for years and have always thought he was the hottest man
Yeah, very interesting. How dare they detain PapaHet and interrogate him!
Even if I didn't live and breathe for Metallica, (Jamesy in particular) this was
somewhat ludicrous. I 'm an unbelievable Metallica fan and I will always love
them-again, James, in particular.
I'm a fan of metallica and have a high respect for what they've accomplished, and I find it utterly ridiculous that they would assume him as being a terrorist because of his beard. Seriously, what the fuck is up with the world we live in?
