I'm hesitant to believe that his property was actually vandalized.
That remains to be seen. I'm not sure why he would suddenly fence it off for no reason though. The article wasn't clear, but it sounds like he's owned the property for a while.

I'm going to seek out other articles for clarification. Looks like all he built was a studio. (Which could be the reason for the fence in the first place.)
That tells me that he's not necessarily against public access to lands in general. Granted he traded that to get something else, but still.In 2002, Hetfield made a trade with the county that was beneficial to both sides. He traded away the right to develop 44 homes on his property, which it had been zoned for, and gave an easement for 438 1/2 acres to be maintained as public space by the county.
Just to throw in my two cents, I don't think we have heard the whole story... from both sides. The article was vague, more information is needed to draw a conclusion on who's right or wrong.

Actually tells me he's not against preservation but is against public access.
I have to imagine that means he expects that the public will access it somehow...
Wouldn't surprise me... probably some pissed off old school Metallica fans... or maybe it was Shawn Fanning.I'm hesitant to believe that his property was actually vandalized.
Wrong. The first four albums rock, the fifth album is decent, and everything after that sucks ass.
Yeah...with a pair of bolt cutters.:flame:
Only time will tell, my friend...

Came across this article with video. Seems that someone has spray painted "shame and disgrace" on the new fence.

Hetfield's attorney said:'There was a fence there for decades. Hikers breached and broke a smaller gate countless times. For Mr. Hetfield to be vilified in this borders on the absurd. He has done the county a favor by agreeing to preserve hundreds of acres of open space, not to walk through, but to look at."

Best post in this whole thread. Metalica died with Cliff.
