Rock out! Metallica’s James Hetfield, wife Francesca and their kids — Cali, 10 ½, Castor, 8 ½ and Marcella, 7 — pose as they arrive for the 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday in Cleveland. Looks like the kids inherited dad’s rock star genes!
Metallica was inducted into the Hall of Fame after 28 years together — and they’re still kickin’!

I am a die hard Metallica fan! I was so moved by his Hall of Fame speech. I can’t quote it exactly, but after thanking his wife for her love and support he thanks his kids for teaching him how to love. He truely is a class act. Love this pic, the kids are so adorable!

Those kids are adorable, however they are soooo lucky! I mean, how does any other kid top career day @ school:
“My dad is an accountant”
“Yeah, well my dad is the lead singer of Metallica!”
- Mary-Helen on
Those 3 kids all look like their mom! The older 2 are 100% his wife, and the younger one is a good combo of both-maybe favoring James a bit more.

Castor was in Greek Mythology he was mortal and his twin Pollux was immortal.
They were turned into the constellation Gemini.
The kids are all gorgeous, little rockers in the making.
He is an awesome man.

Now I understand James’ weird hair cuts the past few years – he’s getting fashion advice from his son.
