Some may care, others may not. Still an awesome sight though.

Lead singer of one of the most influential heavy metal bands pulling up next to us on Sunday.

Awesome gig on Saturday night as well. Front row center, right on the rail!!!

Enjoy!

I wonder if they can be convinced to go for a cruise in mine when they come to Melbourne for their Nov shows!!! Now that would be something memorable!

Paul, in a past life I had an FJ ute drag car called "OLD55", guess who used it on a float in the MOOMBA procession, yes the rock band OLD55. not as good as Metallica, but still a hoot for me.

METALLICA frontman James Hetfield — who is a well-known car enthusiast — visited the Camden County Customs shop at Smeaton Grange in Camden, New South Wales, Australia on Sunday, September 19.

According to shop owner Terry Wood's wife Raquel, Hetfield was a guest of the Harrington Park owners of a custom Cadillac built there.

Hetfield had lunch at Camden Valley Inn, whose duty manager that day said the METALLICA singer drank lemonade and ate a Wagyu beef burger.

"He was a really nice guy," Elderslie's Mark Lundy told the Macarthur Chronicle. "I just happened to have my (Fender Stratocaster) guitar in the boot of the car, and I asked him if he wouldn't mind signing it.

"He said, 'Not a problem, mate.' Word spread pretty quickly that he was there."

Read more and check out photos at the Macarthur Chronicle.
