Granted, you may not want to take advice from a guy who’s got inappropriate tattoos all over his body and wears tank tops and slippers, but given this fella’s previous accomplishments – including a little band you may have heard of called METALLICA – it is fair to say he knows a thing or two about what’s art and what’s not.

And when he says that custom cars you make with your own imagination and your own sweat carry part of your soul and show your character through sheet metal, he’s onto something.

Those are parts of James Hetfield’s speech about a custom car show he’s putting up with Orion Music, where you get to see some of the weirdest and yet most amazing vehicles in the whole world. You can almost see  – or rather hear – James’ music looking at his custom cars… all that radicality… it’s almost spiritual. Or… maybe he was high when he came up with all this stuff!
