Yeah, we know it’s probably wrong to laugh at this story, but, y’know, sometimes something just makes you laugh, even though you know you shouldn’t (like when you see your pal get hit in the junk with a football or something). Or, sometimes, if you don’t drink enough coffee for breakfast on Monday morning, dumb stuff seems unusually funny. Either way, here we are.
Today, while we were roaming around the internet (um, we mean, working), we started looking for tour dates and ended up on the Rolling Stone page. Meh.
Anyway, while there we noticed RS had posted possibly the most awesome headline ever:
(Drumroll, please…)
Ex-Cop Charged for Urinating on Metallica Fan at Boston Concert
Maybe we’re wrong, but we’re pretty sure that the only thing that could’ve made this funnier would’ve been if the cop had actually taken a wiz on James Hetfield-a scenario that might’ve gone something like this:
James Hetfield: Hey! We love Boston, it’s great to be here. Master of Puppets rocks, right? Yeah! Cool, we’ll totally play it later. Right now we’re gonna play one from our new album…
(Cue the cop, clearly a Megadeth fan anyway. End scene.)
All kidding aside, this cop (well, ex-cop now), is a jerk.
Metallica fans should be happy to hear that the band is currently on a massive world tour. If any of you metalheads, want to see them, you better get tickets fast, most of the shows are already SOLD OUT.
In other Metallica news, the group is set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 4th and it was just announced that former bassist Jason Newsted will re-join the band for a portion of the performance during the ceremony.
