Just listening to "Nothing Else Matters" and saw the Gad flag on the celling. I know nothing of their politics, nor care to know, but I thought the flag was cool. I also really like the song.

Of course,

If you don a mullet and/or brandish the American flag you are a MAGA Republican.

If you like country music, you are a MAGA Republican.

If you invoke the name of God, you are a MAGA Republican.

If you own personal firearms as a civilian, you are a MAGA Republican.

If you believe in marriage as that between a man and a woman, you are a MAGA Republican.

...the list will continue to grow.

As well as being on the album cover there is a song on the album called “don’t tread on me”. Great song by the way.

I mean there is a song on that album called Don't Tread on Me. And that's the album cover. So yes, looks to me like Metallica are domestic terrorists.

So be it, threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it, settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore
Don't tread on me

I can remember when Metallica was targeted by the hardcore right in the midst of the SBC's war on "satanic heavy metal" in the 80s.

Now, they make libs cry.

Pretty fricking metal, if ya ask me.

There are multiple quotes from Lars describing James as the gun loving conservative Republican and Lars as the stereotypical sophisticated left wing European.

Lars may be a douche, but he’s very self-aware.

Sad to think how digital music has stolen away the enjoyment of album art...so many amazing covers in my youth...

Jim Breuer has a radio interview on Howard Stern (yea I know) about a night out partying with Lars. Pretty hilarious and you can just see it.

Partying with Lars.

It's pretty well known that James is way more conservative than Lars. He loves guns, hunting and the outdoors. Literally hates people in California which is why he moved because they are way to far gone left. I don't know about rob and Kirk. They probably could care less lol but a guess would be liberal

Album art is awesome. I have a few boxes of old albums from late 60s- 70s. Flipping though the albums is pretty cool while you play the records

James moved out of CA to the CO mountains because he said they have lost their minds with politics.

Don't know if I'd consider James to be "right wing"
