Metallica: The Next Generation

Posted by Josh loposer

James Hetfield and family

Metallica frontman James Hetfield's kiddos show that heavy metal runs in the family bloodlines.

Last Weekend, James and his wife Francesca rolled up to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame's 2009 induction ceremony with their three kids Cali, 10, Castor, 8, and Marcella, 7 -- all of whom have obviously been groomed in the ways of rock by their father.

The reason the whole family piled into the leer jet and flew out to Cleveland was to watch daddy's band Metallica get inducted into the Hall of rock glory. Congratulations to the band are in order, they've been shredding for 28 years now. Wow.

"I never thought much about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until we were approached to induct Black Sabbath in 2006, and then they asked us to play, which was like, 'OK ... we will!' " Hetfield laughed, talking to MTV News shortly before taking the stage for a "secret" SXSW Metallica set. "So we were there, and then they were saying, 'You know, you guys are up for this in a few years.' And I went, 'Wow, really?' And I started doing the math ... 'OK, 25 years after our first record ... yeah, it's now.' And my first thought was 'Man, it's gone by very quickly.' "
