Steel Panther are the ONLY heterosexual metal band out there!!!......Metallica is the GAYEST...Not that there;s anything wrong with that,if their gay fans like it...I think Metallicas gay following will just LOVE the new album with Lou Reed....Heard a bit of 1 tune,can't remember the name but it kinda went..''And Lars changed his name to Laura,take a walk on the wild side ,said hey babe,take a walk on the wild side''....Metallica is gay,always has been..GET USED TO IT BITCHES..
They have heads full of shit, the bastards who make these videos have nothing better to do .... and also I wonder ... like shit get to see this video stupid ?....
I can only say .... GREAT METALLICA!, METALLICA FOREVER!
Looking at some of these pictures makes me so nostalgic..God they really were babies starting out in all of this..As far as being gay..Nah..come one people ..nothing wrong with a bit of healthy Bromance
They are close, doesn't make them gay! Why do u have to twist eveeerything u are just homophobes! And if Lars is gay... WHO CARES? I refuse to believe Kirk is tho.
@Crazy3189 I disagree with you, Klars is a feeling, goes beyond the knowledge and life itself, is the sum of all things, is on your side and not in any place, is the maximum light to govern all the known forces (and unknown) of the universe ....... feel the full power of Klars
You all make this vids because Metallica had those momments.. But why dont u make a vid with all their success momments? cause you cant... Cause your neighbor told u metallica sux and u said yea i am better... Well go and do better instead of doing something behind a screen... And you should learn that Metallica slept in an empty building for 2 years before they get famous... And you sit on your chair and enjoy laughing like a wannabe.. GG WPas
Actually this videos was really cool to see.The images with Nothing Else Matters at background make the video looks like the best moments of their lifes.
yes they're gay. i knew kirk was, but that lars is is news to me, but this video is proof. i'm not a hater, i'm a big fan, but who likes lars anyway? james is the man. you guys that are denying, would you ever take pictures like half of these with your guy friends? put on makeup and get your arms all around them, look at them lovingly in the eye, with a warm smile... etc. well not me dude! i know that lars has gotten tons of pussy, but still, he also had these pictures taken...
@jonazz48 I'm just gonna retype this shit, b/c my comment was "flagged as spam", and I want this response up.
1) John Travolta is married w/family. If you didn't know, he's gay (research it if you want). Jim McGreevy (disgraced ex-gov of NJ) same. Ted haggard (gay evangelical leader), same. Michael Jackson was married and had kids.
2)Ever hear of bisexuality?
3)Are you saying that you would take pics w/your friends w/ makeup on,touching them very familiarly,lovingly gazing into their eyes,etc?
More than half of their lives together. If only the remaining Zeppelin guys would appreciate what they have together as much as Metallica... Seriously, if U can get 100 kids in one place that want to see you perform, that's a good enough reason to perform.
This is the gayest thing I've seen in a while... Now I believe it, Kirk is gay... He is Lars's bitch... No wonder why they came up with Lulu all of a sudden... RIP Metallica Kill em - Black CD.
seu filho da puta vai toma no seu rabo................................gay é vc sua bicha vica fazendo essas bosta de montagem vai toma no olho do seu cú....
con todo respeto los considero traidores al estilo ya que no los escucho mas desde 1991 eran una gran banda pero elijieron el camino del marketin y la fribolidad me quedo con sus anterios trabajos desde 1980 asta el 1988 un abraso solo es un comentario
@demonmilkshakes Eeeh, yeah, maybe you're right about that. IDK, it's a hell of a difficult call to make. I wouldn't pick up the soap in front of either of them.
@SpartanL17 DEBATABLE???!..i grew up listening to these guys and even I never saw such a compilation of compelling evidence!..beyond any doubt these two are fruitpals!
Awhhh I love a good bromance ♥, peeps saying they are gay are just childish they are like brothers to eachother they've been together for so long they count eachother as family ♥
I'm "GLAD" to see that these two young lovers have finally worked out their sexual problems and realized that just because the sex between them isn't as wet,hot,and exciting as it was back in their horny man"load" days,doesn't mean they cant rekindle that fire of erotic gay passion that they once shared in the shower together by trying out newer things like unlubricated fist fucking and tongue butting during laxative aided bowel movements!
@Maidenhead1996 Kirk does like to play with guys from time to time. He has a house in the Castro district of San Francisco, and he uses it as a pickup place to meet men. Anyone who knows anything about San Francisco knows that the Castro is a total meat market.
even tho some people make it seem like its gay i feel like its 2 brothers having a great time in their life they have been together for a very long time they are a family
This proves nothing you people are stupid and ignorent if ya spent 25 years with the same people and lots of cameras i bet all of you people who are blasting Kirk and Lars would have pictures like this. So Fuck Off!!!
This video makes me sad too... i've never gotten to see any metallica shows because my parents won't let me go to another country to watch a show, and i haven't gotten any tickets when there were here, hopefully they will continue for atleast some decades more
have you guys played snake on these youtube players? example of this video: before the video starts, press pause and then hold the left arrow key. Enjoy! :DD
Wow.... this is just dudes doing dude stuff... I've seen worse from guys who are self-proclaimed man-whores [lolfacepalm] It's nice to see friends in a band =]
