It sounds like something out of Spinal Tap
but it appears to be real. Metallica’s Kirk Hammett was stabbed by a surfboard,
his own board in fact.
Metal news site Blabbermouth and Metallica’s
online club Intersandman.com reports that last Saturday, Kirk Hammett was
stabbed by his board after he was tossed from a wave while surfing. Hammett
suffered a cut under his armpit that required 6 stitches. Because of his
injuries he will not be able to play guitar for the next couple of weeks
but apparently in what Blabbermouth refers to as a joke, Hammett has offered
to “sing, play percussion, tambourine or a little piano during the songwriting
and recording sessions for the group's forthcoming CD.”
In other Metallica news
As we reported a few months ago former
Alice in Chains/ Ozzy Osbourne bass player Mike Inez appears to be the
leading candidate to replace Jason Newsted. While nothing official has
been announced, the band stating that producer Bob Rock was handling bass
duties on the new CD, Intersandman.com reports that Mike Inez has been
spotted in the studio with the band.
antiMUSIC ran into Mike at a show in Hollywood
a few months back, shortly after his friend and former bandmate Randy Castillo
was lost to cancer. We asked Mike if he was in Metallica and he dodged
the question and understandably at that time said that he just lost a good
friend and that’s what he was dealing with at the mement and as far as
playing with Metallica he said, no he wasn’t but he had a few things pending
and none of them were solid at that point so he couldn’t comment on any
of them. So he left the door open to the possibility and now it appears
he has in fact been in the studio with the group as they record their new
album.
On the funnier side of things, Intersandman.com
reports that possible titles of the new CD include, 'Floods of Vomit,'
'Surfing the Zeitgeist,' 'Butchered,' 'Sarcasm with Meaning,' 'Not/Ain't
Askared No More,' 'Old, Ugly, Nasty,' and 'Best Dressed Chicken In Town'.
The site is careful to point out that the album titles came a news report
from Metallica Fan Clubs’ “Jump In The Studio” video updates and
“should be noted all the newsworthy items were very tongue in cheek.”
In other words, don’t count on those titles making the final cut.
