Buy it on eBay!

Back in 1991 (a.k.a the good ol’ days), Metallica frontman James Hetfield suffered second- and third-degree burns to his left arm due to a pyrotechnics accident during a show.  

I hear you asking, “What did James wear on his hand to protect it for the rest of the tour?”, and I’m Glad you asked! He wore THIS:

…and someone is selling it (‘natch). Check out the eBay auction HERE.

The seller claims to have worked for Metallica during  the 1991 “Black Album” tour and obtained the glove from former tour manager Tony Smith. The auction ends on March 25th.

I also heard James “whacked off with it” numerous times on the tour bus and used it to “pick up chicks”. Just what I heard though.
