James Hetfield of Metallica may want to re-think the facial hair.
The British Broadcasting Corp. reported that Hetfield was detained at London's Luton Airport on Thursday because of his "Taliban-like beard."
He was not allowed to leave the terminal but was released after questioning. Metallica performed at the London Live Earth concert on Saturday.
Metallica is currently touring in the United Kingdom for their Sick of the Studio summer tour.

This is getting ridiculous. Why don’t they just stop all the little old ladies, let everyone else through because everyone knows all terrorists are 90 year old grandmothers. Idiots.

James Hetfield?! SHEESH!
I cooked a burger for him and his girlfriend at Fuddruckers back in 1988.
I can play anything he can.
(If he’d grow his hair back he wouldn’t have this issue)

Hetfield is not a little old lady.
He is a big man with a Taliban-style beard.
The kind of beard sported by such little old ladies as John Walker Lindh, Richard Reid, David Hicks and Adam Gadahn.

My 70 year old godmother gets stopped all the time.
She’s mean looking, but she does wax her mustache.

Seeing lots of “troubled boyz” thinking that the “muzzie fuzzys” are “cool” or making a “statement” - unable to comprehend just how wrong they are... (dhimmis and infidels wearing the “fuzzys” falsely can get the death penalty in some countries)

To anyone who cares Metallica are big time troop supporters. Can’t say I agree with the facial hair, but I personally wouldn’t question who’s side he’s on. FWIW.

Hetfield is many things but an islamic terrorist ain’t one of them. Mostly he’s a money making machine.

To anyone who cares Metallica are big time troop supporters. Watched a Metallica documentary a few years ago. (Not a big fan - just bored one night.) I doubt Hetfield would support Islamic jihad. The beard is just a fashion statement among heavy metal bands, I think. My brother sports one. :-)

I saw a hunting show a few years ago. James Hetfield and Ted Nugent were goose hunting. It was clear that James really enjoys firing a shotgun.

The Metallica documentary showed him hunting, too, and he was talking about how much he enjoys it. Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s not Left-leaning on everything else. For example, he said he was raised fundamentalist Christian and rebelled against it later. (Gee, come to think of it, I hope he didn’t choose Islam... just kidding! I doubt it.)
