"- We are Metallica, a small band from Norway. We would love to get a record contract", said James Hetfield , and the audience responded with huge laughter. (Yesterday Metallica had a secret performance in Texas for some 2000 fans).
Link to the original.

Hello? Well, must say my jaw dropped a notch when I read it over. Did not know if I should laugh, be affended or cry. *uh & haha*. Do Norwegians have a bad reputation or something...what's going on?

I think its just a joke! They picked Norway randomly I guess just to make a joke I don't think it has to do anything with bad reputation (which I haven't heard about) or anything...It could have been any other country in the joke I guess and it would pass the point...(which isn't that funny to me) smile.gif

Righto. A joke with a bad aftertaste. I probably would feel that way whichever country they picked. Hm...somehow James H seems to enoy me... I sort of have a Love & Hate relationship with Metallica ...

The last few years it's gone to a hate for me. I'm don't the rest of the band, but Lars is such a little wiener!

Just tell me that isn't put on, and that he doesn't mean this at all. You can hear it in his voice.

Ugh. Another sad attempt to salvage some form of credibility. Just give it a rest already.

Maybe it wasn't a good "joke", but giving so much attention to it is in all measures inappropriate..

I actually liked the fact he said Norway, as James has often said he likes Norway smile.gif
I don't see what the fuzz is about at all, it was just a joke smile.gif

People will stop at nothing to hate Metallica won't they? It was a joke, I would have been psyched if he had mentioned Canada instead.

and to rapitap and sircraigery, I honestly doubt that James and Lars care what you think about them.

I think it was a joke too, so what was wrong if he said Norway or any other country? I don't think you can say that he thinks that all Norwegian bands are small and they cannot get a record deal because of what he said, can you? He wanted to make a joke that they are small band from Norway that need a record deal. He didn't compare or referred to any Norwegian band in any way.
