Metallica's Hammett Accidentally Kicks Kid on Stage in Australia

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett should watch his feet in the future while on stage.  Blabbermouth reports that the incident occurred during a recent show in Sydney, Australia, as Hammett was walking around the stage while playing "Seek and Destroy."  The stage was covered with giant black balloons which Hammett was kicking around, and one of them struck the face of a small child, who was sent flying several feet backwards.  The child, who reportedly is the daughter of either Metallica's production or tour manager, wasn't injured.  Video of the incident can be seen below.

Kicking kids aside, Metallica will release a nine-track EP on vinyl on November 26th called Live at Grimey's.  It will only be sold in independent record stores around the U.S.  Go to RecordStoreDay.com to find out what stores near you are participating.
