Metallica frontman James Hetfield has irked nature lovers by building a 300-foot-long fence on his sprawling property north of San Francisco that blocks access to a popular trail.
Outraged outdoors enthusiasts say Hetfield erected the metal fence within the past several weeks, closing off a path long left open to hikers, bikers and horseback riders despite being on private property.
The heavy metal rocker bought the 500-acre Marin County property in 1999 but has yet to build a 14,000-square-foot house, pool and music studio planned for the site, according to the county.
A contractor for Hetfield said vandalism of a smaller gate and other property along the trail prompted the musician to put up the large fence.
Metallica publicists did not immediately return messages seeking comment. source
