Metallica Singer Detained At Airport For Having “Taliban-Like Beard”

The British Broadcasting Corp. reported that Hetfield was detained at London’s Luton Airport on Thursday because of his beard.

He was not allowed to leave the terminal but was released after questioning.

Apparently, he managed to prove to the stooge Rent-A-Bobbies that his beard was just a beard, and that, yes, he can actually sing and scream like um, the lead singer for Metallica.

They then released him.

Metallica performed at the London Live Earth concert on Saturday.

Metallica is currently touring in the United Kingdom for their “Sick of the Studio” summer tour.

JOKESTARTERS:

• In order to confirm that Hetfield’s beard was not indeed “Taliban-like,” it was shaved off, sequestered in a cubicle, then given a thorough body-cavity strip search for three hours followed by an intense and humiliating interrogation. It was then re-attached to his face and released.
• Actually, it wasn’t the beard that got Hetfield in trouble. It was the 5+ ounces of drool that had accumulated in his beard from his Ambien-induced sleep during the international red-eye to London.
• In a related incident, Osama bin Laden has joined Metallica as a back-up singer/bomber.
• To commemorate this special occasion, the band has changed its name. From now on, it will be known as Metalliban.
