Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett accidentally kicked a pint sized fan off the side of the stage at a concert in Sydney last week. Footage up on the internet shows Hammett strolling the stage during the band’s encore of ‘Seek and Destroy, randomly kicking large black balloons that covered the stage in to the audience. Unfortunately he didn’t see the child standing on the edge of the stage (believed to be the daughter of the band’s production or tour manager) who went flying off the edge and in to the crowd. A roadie is then seen rushing the child to safety. Check out the footage of it here:
