THis is just a non-fan. Not tiki at all, for what I can see. At least majority of Metallic fans would know. The shirt is brown lumps with teeth.

Oh, that kind of metal. GIS for "metal tiki": This image came from a nifty page of OSX icons: http://www.f2sys.net/portfolio/icons/icons_xtiki.php

I am currently making some Authentic Hawaiin Chrome Tiki KneePads for James as we speak. It is a gift for being clean and sober on his sobriety birthdate. James Hetfield and I got clean together a few years back. Unfortunately for me I only lasted maybe an hour or so. I am very proud of him. Some other stars I have made custom Kneepads for are Eddie Van Halen and Bob #1 and Bob #2 of Devo etc.... Alot of famous corporate stars do not have scabs on their knee's because of me [ Edited by: CaptainKneePads Tiki on 2005-06-28 21:58 ]

S stuff-o-rama Tiki Socialite Central Coast of California Joined: Nov 20, 2003 Posts: 757	S stuff-o-rama Posted posted on Mon, May 29, 2006 4:30 PM I was working the West Coast Kustoms Car Show in Paso Robles, CA this weekend. We had to set up at 5:30 am. I just unloaded the truck and starting setting up the booth when as I'm unpacking some tikis and tiki mugs a gentleman walks up and asks if he can take a quick look at them. As I am rapping with the guy, I suddenly realize it's James Hetfield. He was all greased back hair, goatee, sporting his Beatniks Car Klub gear. I asked him if he was a tiki collector, he said he's been into tikis as long as he could remember. Before I could ask him about his collection, two loudmouth dorks busted in yelling, "HOLY SH#T!! YOU'RE THAT DUDE FROM METALLICA!!" Poor guy had a total "deer in the headlights" look on his face. He told me he'd be back later, and the two dudes followed him down the street, amped up, mooking him the whole way. He never came back so I'll have to wait until next time. He did take my biz card though. :)
