Metallica, Wherever They May Roam

A daily selection by the editors of Photo District News

Music photographer Rich Gastwirt captures James Hetfield of Metallica handing his pick to a lucky fan. The band “had a theater in the round situation and were running all about the stage, making photographers chase them around whack-a-mole style.”

This image was the People’s Choice winner in the Ultimate Music Moment Contest. See more rockin’ images here.

Amazing photo. I like how the photographer surprised “the almost touching hands” hypostasis.

This image is not only the best James Hetfield photo I’ve ever seen, it’s possibly one of the best concert photos I’ve ever seen. Well done!
