METALLICA's HAMMETT Accidentally Kicks Little Child Offstage; New Video Footage Posted Online

November 16, 2010

Another clip has been posted online of a METALLICA concert that took place in Sydney, Australia last Thursday (November 11),where guitarist Kirk Hammett is seen kicking a large black balloon that accidentally smacks into a small child standing onstage and sends the child flying several feet into the audience. Despite early reports that the toddler was the son of frontman James Hetfield, it was apparently the daughter of either METALLICA's production or tour manager. (Note: The child was reportedly not injured during the incident.)

METALLICA's current run through Australia and New Zealand will complete the two-year touring cycle behind the band's 2008 album, "Death Magnetic".

The band has just released a second live EP, titled "Six Feet Under, Part II", as a follow-up to the eight-song EP it issued just prior to the band's current tour of Australia and New Zealand.

METALLICA will also release a nine-track live EP recorded in Nashville, titled "Live At Grimey's", on November 26.
