Metallicas James Hetfield says he moved out of San Fran. because of
the citys elitist attitude
James Hetfield, founder and frontman of the world-famous metal band
Metallica, says he recently moved out of his home city of San
Francisco because he simply couldnt deal with the citys elitist
attitude any longer.
Speaking on the Joe Rogan podcast, Hetfield explained that, despite
calling Northern California home for the last several decades, he had
to move because he could no longer take being looked down upon for his
lifestyle choices and political views.
Instead, Hetfield says that liberal San Francisco residents accept
diversity only if youre like them.
I kind of got sick of the Bay Area, the attitudes of the people
there, a little bit, Hetfield said. They talk about how diverse they
are, and things like that, and its fine if youre diverse like them.
But showing up with a deer on the bumper doesnt fly in Marin County.
I love the ocean, and I love the Bay Area, I love what its got to
offer, but theres just an attitude that it was it wasnt healthy
for me, he added. [I was] starting to feel like I was just fighting
all the time, and I just had to get out of my own head.
Hetfield went on to explain that he and his wife, Francesca, decided
to relocate to Vail, Colorado a popular ski resort town in the Rocky
Mountains because he loves the outdoors and hunting. It is also the
town his wife grew up in.
So Colorado does it for me, Hetfield said.
