In 2008, responding to the use of Metallica’s music to torture Iraqi prisoners, Hetfield was unoffended and replied, “If the Iraqis aren’t used to freedom, then I’m glad to be part of their exposure.”[47] British band Chumbawamba subsequently released a song called “Torturing James Hetfield” in response.[48] In a 2017 interview, Hetfield reaffirmed his previous stance, saying, “I’m honored my country is using something to help us stay safe, if they are. But then again, once the music is out, I don’t have control over that. Just like how someone’s giving it away online. They’re using it to do what they do.”[49]



Roger Waters is such a bloody genius!
