METALLICA Frontman Vacationing In Hawaii; Photos Available - Apr. 13, 2008
METALLICA frontman James Hetfield was photographed earlier this week on the beach in Hawaii, where he is apparently vacationing with his wife Francesca and their three kids: Marcella Francesca, 6; Castor Virgil, 7; and Cali Tee, 9. More pictures can be found at East News.

METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich told England's Kerrang! magazine that the band will play songs from its upcoming new album this summer on at least one of its festival dates. Speaking about the band's recently announced headlining appearance at the UK's Reading and Leeds Festivals in late August, Ulrich said, "We're psyched to play some new songs. In fact, if we don't, then I give people permission to come and find me and slap me across the face! We're certainly planning on rolling out some of the new songs for the first time, but right now our focus is on finishing the record. As soon as that's out of the way, we'll be hitting the rehearsal room and getting to grips with playing these bastards live!"

METALLICA's yet-to-be-titled ninth studio album is tentatively due out in September. The band is said to be in the final stages of recording.

The Reading and Leeds Festivals take place on August 22-24. Other confirmed acts include RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, SLIPKNOT, THE KILLERS, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and AVENGED SEVENFOLD.

but if you want to post photos thats fine ok it could be deemed as interesting for the fans. However what disturbed me is that rather degrading photo put there intentionally , James was practically breathing and the camera was taking non stop photos but the photographer decided this photo will work paparazzi style! making james look bad...

Its funny when someone here calls a extreamly successful person like James a "washed up loser". You must think its so cool to have that kind of attitude in front of the computer.

I dont see a pichur of his wife...
All I see is a picture of him with some dude who looks like Joey Vera of Fates (Death's)Warning.

Could it be that Jamie Hitfield is having a homoerotic affair with someone who actually has some musical ability and integrity left ?

if so , nice of him to brings the kids along while he gets it ( or gives it ?...) up the ass from a real musician. i dont blame him for keeping his wife out of this.

No wunder the tabloids are interested in this !!!!

Further proof that the new album will suck. Rubin told them to get into the old mindset, to get hungry again and make some vital Rock N Roll.

Vital musicians don't fucking vacation in fucking Hawaii in the middle of doing vital work. Metallica is still a fucking joke and Rubin should probably be distancing himself from this inevitable train wreck at this point.

this is the reason 5 of their last 6 CDs have sucked(Garage Inc, being the best thing they've done since Justice).

The fire is gone, the anger was resolved in their Dr. Phil-ish movie, they no longer rebel against anything other than being called a metal band, the only thing they hunger for is approval of soccer moms and nu-metal kids.

Before anyone gets all pissy over this post....I am not taking anything away from Metallica's live shows because they still got it(although I strongly disapprove of them doing The Four Horsemen accousticly). But I will NEVER buy another CD from these guys because they can't do ANYTHING that will ever touch Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master Of Puppets, Garage Days or ....And Justice For All.

Harsh, but Neil Young's Cocaine Booger speaks the truth. I'll be waiting to hear their new CD with a little trepidation, but I'd still be delighted to see them live. I just think their past is WAY behind them and I just don't care for ANYTHING they've put out since Justice.

Wow, so you can only be relavent to music or have integrity if you are chained to a mixing desk riffing out for 23 hours and then spend the remaining hour praying to the Norse gods or something? How is taking a holiday with his family somehow construed as him failing in his 'metal duties' or some such crap?

If most of you guys are lucky, you'll look like James at that age. Seriously, the guy has a lot on his plate. It's not hard to see why the gym isn't his number one priority. ... It would be sweet to see him get into lifting in end up looking like Dr. Dre (minus the roids).
