Red Hot Chili Peppers Mistaken For Metallica, and Signed Metallica Gear

The weirdest case of mistaken identity that’s happened in a long time.

Before the guys in the Red Hot Chili Peppers flew out of Belarus, they were called into a custom’s official’s office at an airport.

What lay in front of them were a bunch of photos and CDs from Metallica, and they were asked to sign them.

But… they aren’t Metallica. And they told the officials that. But they continued to demand they sign the Metallica gear.

Flea posted the story on his instagram, which you can check out below.

Considering how no one in Metallica looks remotely similar to Flea I’m a little concerned for these custom officials’ eye sights.

We were called into customs officials office at an airport in Belarus and they asked us to sign a bunch of Metallica cd’s and photos. We tried to explain to them that we weren’t Metallica but they insisted that we sign anyway. They had the power. Well I did play fight fire with with with Metallica once. I love Metallica anyways but I’m no Robert Trujillo.
