Michael Johansson: I took this photo of Metallica moments after the show... at the Breaking Sound Festival at Aéroport du Bourget outside Paris back on August 29 1984.
Cliff looks exhausted... I can't believe my eyes... They are all drinking Heineken... 😮 What's wrong with the hard rock world... It is so bitter and smelly...
I don't know if the April 1st 1983 story about Kirk is true or not. He was still in Exodus and got a call from someone in the Metallica camp asking if he wanted to join them. Seems he thought it was an April Fool's joke and hung up 🙂 ... I guess they called back - good thing they did!
