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.
No Santa Weiland this year
Jingle balls Scott Weiland fans, his planned Christmas album won’t be done in time this year, because Scott is a bit too busy drinking working with Stone Temple Pilots. So if you feel like rocking out to a traditional Christmas album by an untraditional singer, mark December 2011 as the time to check out the bargain bin at your local Wal-Mart. More info after the jump.
Lemmy is a great role model
If you have kids and you want them to learn something about life, music and alcohol, look no further. They can also get their cues on modesty, so it’s an all-around lesson for everyone.
“All kinds of things about me are legendary, not just the excesses. And, for me, they’re not excesses anyway. What you do every day is normal, right? This voice does good on cigarettes. That’s part of the training. I have to keep smoking. If I stopped smoking, my voice would suffer. I couldn’t possibly do my job if I didn’t smoke and drink.“ said Lemmy after toking on a cigarette.
Don’t worry though, it’s not like Lemmy is all about bad things, he does think of the kids.
“I’m not going to promote it as a lifestyle. I don’t want some kids dying because they drunk because of me. If you say this guy drinks like a fish after 35 years in Motörhead, they’ll think, ‘Oh, I can do that too.’“

Here’s the thing, if you don’t want to promote it as a lifestyle, don’t mention how drinking and smoking helps your singing. What good does it do to say you wouldn’t want kids to drink because of you, if right after that you pretty much say your career would suffer without cigs and booze? It’s like saying ‘I don’t condone violence, but my debating skills would seriously suffer if I didn’t know kung fu.’
We love you anyway, Lemster.
Kerry King is modest
If you ever wondered what Kerry King thinks of himself and of his band, here’s your answer. He thinks both are awesome.
“Every year we go on, and everything we accomplish is awesome to us, but it’s not something you can sit at home and think about. We’re very grateful to be where we are.“ said Kerry while playing with the toy he got in his Happy Meal.

Well, no need to be so modest, Kerry, tell us what you really think about your band.
Lars is a taxi driver
If you ever wondered why Lars Ulrich is not practicing drums at all in his spare time, we have the answer. He’s a parent 24/7… Awww
“Yes, I am a Mr Mom. I take care of three kids pretty much full time — they are 3, 9 and 12. My main job is being a taxi driver or a chauffeur. I just drive kids around all day. So when I’m on tour, I get a chance to be driven, and handed blueberry protein shakes — without vodka — and to sit and check my lack of hair in this mirror.“
