Metal fans, you may find it hard to believe, but thrash titans Metallica have revealed a dark, dark secret that may leave you distraught, confused, and teary-eyed. They are Beliebers!
It was only a matter of time before someone asked them their opinion on Justin Bieber’s recent YouTube video, which sees him singing and air-guitaring along to their classic track Fade to Black, and their answer may surprise you.
Bieber has long claimed to be a fan of the band, stating that One and their 'Black Album' were among his favourite records. Now, speaking to Kerrang!, Lars Ulrich has responded to the comments.
“Is it possible to have respect for him without being a Belieber? I think the kid's really talented and obviously to go through what he's going through at that early age must be a mindfuck. So the fact that he still goes out there and does it, I admire that and I think he's super talented, so I guess I am kind of a Belieber. If he likes 'One', and Liam Gallagher likes him, OK, there you go.”
Although Ulrich tried to hold back a little bit, Hetfield seems to hold Bieber in a much higher regard. He simply said:
“Are we Beliebers? Yes.”
And so, we’re one step closer to a Bieber-Metallica collaboration than we’ve ever been before! What do you think of the news? Leave us a comment in the box below!
