In the latest episode of the Beardo and Weirdo podcast, comedian Craig Gass shares a fascinating story with Five Finger Death Punch bassist Chris Kael about an unexpected encounter with Metallica‘s Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo during a trip to Hawaii. Gass recalls how he spotted these iconic musicians while they were enjoying a day at the beach, and shockingly, no one else seemed to recognize them!

For many celebrities, particularly those in legendary bands like Metallica, maintaining a sense of anonymity in public spaces is nearly impossible. Fans often swarm them, seeking autographs and selfies. The rarity of being able to enjoy a peaceful outing without being bombarded by fans is something most can only dream about. Yet, for these surfing buddies, the tropical paradise offered a rare moment of serenity, allowing them to catch some waves without the usual chaos that surrounds famous musicians.

Gass vividly remembers his time there and expresses disbelief about how Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo could go unnoticed in such a public setting. He was on a vacation that became complicated when he and his girlfriend ended their relationship, adding layers to the experience. Accompanied by former Papa Roach drummer Dave Buckner and his girlfriend Stacy, Gass recounts how he rejoined his friends at the beach after tending to some social media duties, a reminder that the hustle never truly stops!

When Stacy mentioned that Danny Trujillo from Metallica was surfing nearby, Gass was puzzled. He soon realized that it was actually Robert Trujillo, not the skateboarder. Buckner then pointed out both Robert and Kirk riding the waves, which left Gass in awe. “Nobody is talking to them! They’re just surfing,” he exclaimed, highlighting the surreal nature of the encounter.
