With the look of James Hetfield’s face in the pic above, I’m sure that’s what he looked liked when he found out that his new home in California have been vandalized by locals.
James Hetfield the Metallica frontman bought new land in 1999 so he can build a huge home, studio, etc. in the Marin Hills of Marin County in Cali. The property used to be a popular biking and hiking trail where a lot of people like to go through. Hetfield boarded up the home with a huge electric barbed wire fence that almost looks like a prison fence. It was Hetfield’s way of keeping bikers and hikers off his property while the metal rocker is not there. James Hetfield angered locals who loved to use that trail but they can’t since Hetfield now owns the property.
The property had been vandalized with the words “SHAME DISGRACE” written on the fence. Hetfield has been nice to the local people before by donating 400 acres of the land to the locals to use some of the trails.
James Hetfield himself has not yet responded to this controversy.

Blech, the local people had nothing to complain about. They are just probably a bunch of Metallica haters trying to get the band out of their peaceful town. It’s Hetfield’s property, if he owns it, he has the right to do what he wants with it. Get over it people!

Did we read the same article? Marin is a county, not a town, which is something I thought was well known enough that any twelve year old would know it without having to look it up. Judging from the article, I’d say the land was in Terra Linda, CA, and that the issue the locals have has nothing to do with his craptastic music. They’re upset about loss of the use of trails that they have used for years for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, and the construction of a ten foot high fence that is ugly in anyone’s opinion. He has considerably lowered the quality of living for the people of Terra Linda. Nice going, Dickfield.

The Marin Hills is a town in Marin County so I got some of it partially right. I don’t know much about California as I’ve never been to the other side of the states before.
A ten foot high fence is what Hetfield prefers to keep everyone off, like the article said it’s private property that no one is allowed on. Something aka tresspassing on private property. Like I said, if it’s his home, he has the right to put whatever kind of fence he wants on it.
If you’re a homeowner, you have the right to do whatever you please on your property.

Not to be picky, but for accuracy the Marin Hills aren’t a town. The Marin Hills are just hills in Marin County. That would be like saying that the Catskills or Adirondacks are towns in New York. Well, OK there is a town called Catskill, but believe me you don’t ever want to go there, you’ll get shot by a crack crazed colored person or meth addled inbred redneck who would kill you for all twelve bucks in your wallet.
