Metallica Poke Fun At Critics With Bear Hunt Video

Metallica poked fun at British critics who opposed singer James Hetfield's love of hunting prior to the band's headlining slot at the Glastonbury festival on Saturday (28Jun14) by posting a video, in which they dressed up as bears, online.

Animal rights activists urged Glastonbury bosses to axe the group's set over the Enter Sandman singer's links to a new outdoorsman series in America - Hetfield, a longtime hunting fan, narrates the show.

Poking fun at the anti-Metallica critics, the group hired filmmaker Julien Temple to shoot a new video, entitled Glastallica.

In the film, the bandmembers play bears tracking down wealthy statesmen as they prepare for a fox hunt.

The video was shown prior to the band's set at Glastonbury.
