Kirk Hammett doesn't hate kids
As previously reported, Kirk scored a field goal during a live show, but at the other end of the ball was a little girl’s face.
Some people were wondering who that kid was or if she was hurt, but most people just pointed and laughed, really. Anyway, a recent update on MetOnTour.com sets the record straight.
“You may have been reading some reports and watching some YouTube video of Kirk accidentally kicking a balloon and knocking a child down. I want to set the record straight here. The child is the daughter of a Metallica crew member, and she was experiencing the joy of the balloons dropping. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Kirk did not see her when he kicked the ball. The little girl did not receive any injuries, and she was not “sent flying several feet into the audience.” Both the little girl and Kirk are fine, and are still friends. Thanks for everyone’s concern and support.“

Well, since the little girl is alright, you can keep watching that video, guilt free.
Mötley Crüe and Poison töür not happening
If you’re like me, you’ve been hoping and praying for a Mötley Crüe / Poison tour, if only for the entertainment value of knowing Tommy Lee and Bret Michaels might be backstage comparing sex tapes.
Well pervs, tough luck. It’s not happening. Tommy Lee went to Twitter to answer a fan, writing an in-depth mini-essay on the matter.
“NO“ wrote Tommy Lee.
Oh well.
Van Halen has a producer
Almost everyone associated with Van Halen is related to Eddie in some way. So imagine my surprise when I found out their new producer is not Eddie‘s niece or something… He doesn’t even have the ‘Van Halen‘ surname.
His name is Ross Hogarth and I could sit here and write some bands he’s worked with… Orrrr, I could go get a delicious ice cream from my fridge and just give you this link.
Decisions decisions…
Kirk Hammett hates kids
If you’re a little kid, especially a little girl, and you’re anywhere near Kirk Hammett, watch the fuck out. He’s gonna knock you out.
Make the jump to see footage of Kirk kicking one of those Metallica balls in a concert, hitting a little girl right in the kisser. To make matters worse, rumor has it that it was James Hetfield‘s daughter…
Someone’s taking the “Seek and Destroy” lyrics literally. Oops.
When asked if he was jealous of the little girl for having a deeper voice than him, Kirk had no comment.
We want you (not in that way)
You may have noticed a new button on the upper menu, called “Your Band.”
Well, faithful DoM readers might have noticed how we like to write about unknown bands. Some bands we stumble upon ourselves, others just simply emailed us. So we decided to make it official, and give all the aspiring musicians a chance to be written about, since most other metal sites won’t bother unless you sold a few million copies.
So if you have a band, click the button above or simply go here. Read the terms then fill in the form, and we’ll get back to you.
Note: We don’t have anything to gain from this, we won’t ask you for anything in return, so keep that in mind — it’s all for you. It’s simply us being nice. And well hung, but that’s another story.
