HA! even funnier! both bands got dissed
METALLICA's collaboration with pop superstar
Lady Gaga at the 59th annual
Grammy Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night (February 12) turned into something of a disaster when the
Grammy sound crew did not turn frontman
James Hetfield's mic on, forcing him to share the mic with
Gaga after the first verse and chorus
Sources connected to the production told
TMZ everything was fine right before
"Moth Into Flame" began, with
Gaga and the band's line check going off without a hitch. However, between the mic check and the actual performance, a wire under the stage got unplugged by accident by a stagehand. They eventually fixed the unplugged wire with seconds left in the song.
As a further humiliation, presenter
Laverne Cox did not even introduce
METALLICA by name. At the end of the song, a visibly angry
Hetfield hurled his guitar at a road crew member while kicking over his mic stand.
