I think it's just a cheesy publicity stunt.

No clue.

Speaking of WTF, tho... how about that figure skating? (;

When were Ricky Martin and Metallica in the same venue together, anyway?

OMG. That's......wrong....

I bet they hit him after the cameras were off

That picture should be illegal. That's just wrong. WRONG.

hey I hear the russkies are going to shoot one of the n'stink kids into the Sun on a rocket; maybe they have room for those 3, too. Or at least Lars.

You know what..IU'm officially scared..
That's bout it. I'm scared

Lars and James look a bit embarassed to be sandwiching Ricky Martin. I would be embarassed, too, if I got really drunk and all I got was a backstage pass and Ricky's "special attention".

bwahaha..thats classic

I think its just getting into the spirit here... celebrating diversity an all that .. :P

That's not cheesy.

The Cheese doesn't approve of music that cannot be shared or that could potentially steal its girlfriend...

good freakin' lord.

OK everyone sing along,

We are the world,
We are the children
We are the...

Is that a subliminol Halmark logo there on the TV screan?

uh, no

I think that Ricky Martin must be a Metallica fan. I can't believe that Lars and James are fans of Ricky.
As for figure skating, Sarah Hughes performed wonderfully during the free skate.

"Wow, I'm actually hanging out with real musicians."

Jeez! Ricky sure has narrow hips.

Wonder if he can do a quad like Timothy Goebel.

WTF??? is right!

Thanks, Wil. That's going right into my collection of "Signs the Apocalypse Is Inching Closer to Reality."

actually, this isn't surprising at all, just your usual moment of cheesy pop-acts mingling. And for those who were wonderin: the real Metallica were replaced by record company clones years ago (ca.1990).

/me agrees whole-heartedly with Andreas

This just makes me shake my head and sigh "I'm glad I like real crappy bands that no-one knows" 8-P

Eeeeiiiip...Eeeeeiiiip....Eeeeiiiip

*runs screaming from the computer*

I've been coming here for awhile now but never commented, until now. Now I have a purpose. That purpose is to say "What in the bloody blue hell is happening to this world?!" I am thoroughly frightened now. * sits and waits for the world as we know it to come to a horrifying, pop induced halt*

After a quick bit of searching, I found this page:

http://www.metallicaxxxpage.com/0700.htm
which says:

James and Lars were seen at a Ricky Martin concert at the Oakland Coliseum Arena on July 24th. They watched the show from the soundboard, then made their way backstage and said hello to Martin.

The world is getting weirder by the minute...

Sweet mother of God.

I personally think Metallica sucks anyway.

"The world is getting weirder by the minute" -Lionfire

"In the 60s, people used to take LSD to make the world weird. Now, the world is weird, and people take prozac to make it normal." - guy from Blur

*Zoiks!!*

Jesus fucking Christ, I think Metallica is totally losing whatever coolness they had leftover after they lost most of it when they released the Load of an album.

You know, money does strange things to people. Fifteen years ago, who would have thunk it?

I remember back when Metallica had Long Hair, and they were cool with kickass music.
I think it's like in that old story about Sampson and Delilah, you cut your hair, you turn into a suckass wimp.

but then... Ricky Martin had long hair too.....

James and Lars went to a *Ricky Martin* concert?!! What's next..? Britney headlining OzzFest? Anyway, that picture reminded me of something Monsieur Wheaton wrote in September:
-------------------------------------------------
...I'm on the way home with Anne, and this really wussy song comes on the radio, and she says, "Is this The Crash Test Dummies?" (One of the wussiest bands in history, for those of you scoring at home)

"No, it's Metallica." I told her.

So if any of you were wondering if Metallica has completey lost it, there you are. I can't believe that the guys who croak out "Until It Sleeps" are the same guys who gave me whiplash in 95 listening to "Damage Incorporated" and "Master of Puppets"

Holy shit! The Metallica Slashers were right! They *have* been fucking!

Dude!

"It's game over, man. Game over! What the fuck are we gonna do now?"

Answer: They're all corporate rock whores?

Eh ... I think they look kind of cute together. :o)~

brrr....sure is cold down here in hell these days.....

And from another point of few...
Get those weird heavy metal freaks away from my Ricky Martin! They're just trying to steal his talent!!

No, seriously, I'm a waay bigger fan of Ricky Martin that I am of Metallica. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

weird metal freaks?? Hey, we have feelinga too y'know...

Weird metal freaks....indeed. Pffft.

Anyhow, we all know Mr Martin likes a little bit of man lovin', especialy when he gets treated to a spit-roasting..oooh yes.... ;)

ok...that makes me twitch...

i didn't think they could get any more commercial and corporate. ah, well. i've been wrong before.

it's amazing how the big road tours, videos, then videos with girls, radio play, etc. were all bad things until metallica started doing them. sometimes i wonder if cliff hadn't been killed, would they still be big sellouts? i don't know.

ah, well... i still sneak a listen to master of puppets (my girlfriend's) when no one's looking...

That's going to replace the whale in my nightmares.

What the hell... if Kid Rock can get up there and sing country with Hank Williams, Jr, why not Metallica and Ricky? Either way, your ears will bleed...

MetalliWhore and Ricki Martin... slut central?? Geeze, as if MW can't make enough money by selling themselves to the RIAA, they have to get RM and his sleeze to pay up for a shot like that? What is this world coming to?? I guess, "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely."
IMHO

Good googly moogly.

Eep!

Maybe Ricki's going to replace Jason Newstead on bass.

>>J

Metallica and rikki. Oh that so does not go together. WHO IS RUINING MY FAV BAND!!

metallica is obviously using ricki as there poster child for their anti-Napster campaign.

"Poor little Ricki has lost millions of dollars..."

Nope... it'll be Britney heading Ozzy... on her knees...

EWWWWWWWWW!! how did this happen!!! I bet they Kicked RM butt after they took the pic, it wouldnt be good for legal purposes to have a pic of RM beaten up now would it, so they had to take the pic before they kicked his A**!

*Looks at the picture*
*Blinks*
*Rubs eyes*
*Blinks again*
Alright...I'll bite...
Someone throw me a bone, I must be missing something here...Metalica....Ricky Martin...Metalica...nope, sorry, I can't seem to make the connection.
*frumps*
~Kaylin

Isn't it obvious what's going on here?

Ricky's trying to live la vida loca. :0

Thank you, thank you...I'll be here all week.

I'm not suprised at all, metalica have been steadily wussing out for the last 10 years or so. Next week they'll be opening for Dream and Edens Crush.

I miss Cliff... He was awesome. Why did he have to die... He's probably rolling in his grave with what james and lars are doing to his memory...

Scene the picture after the camera person walks away.
Lars: So me and motherfuckin'James Hatfield are here to explain copyright protection
James: Ugh!
Ricky: You mean like Napster?
James: FIRE BAD, er NAPSTER BAD!
Lars: Yeah BAD, man! so you better join us and RIAA on this or I will unless a fury of KICKASS on your BUTT!
Ricky: Sounds like fun, the butt part...
Lars: Oh, *confused* ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
James: FIRE BAD!
Lars: We have George Michael on our side..
Ricky: Oh I am in!
-end scene-

(yup, going to hell for this....)

I didn't need to see the post about Metallica being at a Ricky Martin show to know who was a guest at where. My keen mind already picked up on the picture of Ricky Martin on the guest badge on Lars' belt. It's blurry, but you can tell.

After they proved my father right in all of our arguments about the music I used to listen to I have despised them. He always said it was bs and that I should be a good little Irish catholic boy and cut my hair, wear jeans without holes in them and get rid of the leather jacket and boots. He called me such loving things like "dirtbag" and "lowlife". He told me it was all an act and therefore I was being an idiot for liking it. I dealt with it, because I believed it was more than a money grubbing scheme. Maybe it was a long time ago, but they sold out and sold their fans out to the RIAA. I may not be as rebellious as I used to be, but that was still a slap in the face. It was a very long time before I could listen to their older stuff without feeling angry at them. Can't listen to the new stuff without feeling ill though.

To hell with them. I'm still wearing denim and leather and I don't give a damn what they or my old man thinks about it anyway. To quote SOD: "It's not how you wear your hair, it's what's inside your head." Well, we can see what's going on in their heads nowadays.

they look awefully "chummy" with each other...

Don, narrow hips is right. Even though that's supposed to be a biologically *masculine* attribute, on him it just looks *girly*! If I had this image on my hard drive, it would be called, "Three people I would never ever pay money to see." (Sorry Ricky and Metallica fans, but I just wouldn't.)

Nacey.

You're welcome, Wil. ^_-

Heh, I thought you guys would enjoy(?) this one.

I'm still confused. I did figure out they were at Ricky's concert because it looks like Lars is wearing a Ricky Martin backstage pass(?). That didn't help my confusion, though.

Shake your Bon Bon!
Shake your Bon Bon!

dude u suck use the eastern coast time!

can anyone recommend a good seeing eye dog for me? i will no longer be needing the use of my own eyes

Jeez, Nick, no need for flaming.

I also don't think you have grounds for flaming since you have an AOL homepage.

For the record, I had my site up before I even saw Wil's. And I know I'm not famous.

:rolleyes:

Why use eastern time if she's on the west coast? DUH! If it's too hard to calculate the time in your head, count on your fingers, son. Sheesh!

Issue closed.

So what about Ricky's Bon Bon?

Anyone?

"...I'm on the way home with Anne, and this really wussy song comes on the radio, and she says, "Is this The Crash Test Dummies?" (One of the wussiest bands in history, for those of you scoring at home)"

WTF!!! DUMMIES ROCK!

whoah,
that is by far the coolest picture that i have seen in a while. now i'm gonna have that image in my head while i'm listening to their music. freaky.

Wow...I'm still trying to wrap my brain around that one. That's the funniest shit I've seen all day and I've seen some funny stuff.

Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake my hand. We're off to never never land.

DISCLAIMER:

Before I start, may I take this opportunity to declare, that I'm not the greatest Metallica fan, so, my sincerest apologies to their fans, whomever, you may be! And now onto the good stuff!

Scary Movie Moment.

RICKY: "Dude, do I look gay in this shirt?"

Guy on the left: "Nah!..........Do I??"

Guy on the right (in an EXTREMELY effeminate voice): "Well, tug on my beard, I'll tug you and we'll soon find out!"

metallica sucks, remember?

/me most definatly has the last comment on this page :P

That's a weird ass picture
