I'm glad they included a picture of James Hetfield with that story, because I almost forgot what he looks like. That was a way better editorial choice than getting a picture of the tomato-beard guy.

There are no pics and the album sucks anyway so we get a glorified commercial? Search the Swedish dude that chopped the album and took out the suck which was around 60%.

I cannot take credit for this brilliance.

I only brought the lulz, I did not create the lulz.

For what? A merkin?

The only person I could see wanting a wig made from beard hair would be Arnold Poindexter (Timothy Busfield)

Dear Slush,

Even though you cannot take credit for the pic please take note that your post has cause my entire office to get ziltch done in the last half hour due to sporadic laughter and employees making that pic their new backround.

I downloaded his beard from the pirate bay.

It's the tiara that really completes the look...

Thank god NIN doesn't forcefully try to recreate its 80's sound. I guess that's one band that doesn't put out three absolutely shiatty albums in a row.

Imagine a Pretty Hate Machine II. Oh. God.

Did anyone mention yet how funny The Slush's linked picture is yet?

Well that fan looks nothing if not Irish to me. Born in Dublin, you say? Good for him getting to meet the band for all his follicular fortitude.

The Slush you've brought the lulz, thanks for sharing.

Am I supposed to think it is bad that someone extremely successful shops at Armani? He looks like a goofy tourist, but whatever... at least he wasn't wearing white hi-tops.

Wait, hasn't slush's pic been posted in every single Metallica related thread for the past month or so? Keep up, people.

The Slush's pic originated from a series of posts when that picture was originally posted in a topic on LUE on August 18th, called "This is what James Hetfield has become."
