Red Hot Chili Peppers Mistaken for Metallica at Airport

"We tried to explain to them that we weren't Metallica but they insisted that we sign anyway. They had the power."

When a customs official tells you your part of the band Metallica, I guess you’re part of the band Metallica.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers were mistaken for Metallica at the Belarus airport and asked to sign memorabilia. Flea posted the story on his Instagram page.

We tried to explain to them that we weren’t Metallica but they insisted that we sign anyway. They had the power. Well I did play fight fire with with with Metallica once. I love Metallica anyways but I’m no Robert Trujillo.”
