LOSTPROPHETS Singer Says He Is 'Scared' Of JAMES HETFIELD

July 20, 2004

The LOSTPROPHETS had the opportunity last month to tour Europe with METALLICA, and while lead singer Ian Watkins says he grew up worshipping the band and especially frontman James Hetfield, he admitted he was a little nervous around his idol. "James would come out to the dressing room and hang out, and sit down and chat, but I was just scared all the time," he told Launch Radio Networks. "You know, I just couldn't get past the fact that he was James Hetfield. And I'm not like that with most people. Most people, it's like, 'whatever,' but this is James Hetfield. And he's very imposing anyway. I mean, he's like one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, but he's still James Hetfield, so he's still scary."
