Metallica Admit To Being Justin Bieber Fans

It didn't take them long to destroy any metal cred they may have received from their Antarctica show, did it? Metallica (yes, the very same) recently admitted to being Justin Bieber fans.

Yep, the gods of thrash metal are Beliebers.

The band was giving an interview with a rock magazine about Bieber's recent take on their mega-hit "Fade to Black," when lead singer James Hetfield admitted, "Are we Beliebers? Yes."

Here's the video if you haven't seen it:

Lars Ulrich added, "I think the kid's really talented and obviously to go through what he's going through at that early age must be a mindf**k. So the fact that he still goes out there and does it, I admire that and I think he's super talented, so I guess I am kind of a Belieber."

Look for the Lou Reed-style Beibz collaborative album BeBe in 2015. (Actually...that could be kind of awesome.)
