I was just browsing the vast internet-tubes in my insomnia and came across this gem on Metallica's website:
From a press release dated 11-18-2010:
[W]e just wanted to address something which happened on the tour the other night regarding a large beachball, a band member's foot and a little girl.So I immediately, of course, went to Youtube to see what I could find, and sure enough I found a video. (Please note the ridiculously awesome video title immediately below -- like "Kirk Hammett kicks baby" isn't good enough, they had to add "Remix!!!" with exclamation points.)
It wasn't funny until the second half when the video-editor added in sound effects, which actually made it quite hilarious. Am I going to hell?
The video raises some serious questions. Like, well, maybe only two. First, what the hell was that girl doing basically on stage? (super jealous) Second, who cares? I'm just glad to hear that she wasn't hurt at all, and actually remains friends with Kirk (Metallica's guitarist and evil beach-ball kicker) after the accident. Softpedia.com.
