- Echo and the Bunnymen‘s first dummer Pete de Freitas was born 63 years ago on August 2

During my travels, I happened to forget a couple of important birthdays. So let’s not forget that Metallica‘s James Hetfield celebrated his 61st birthday on August 3.
I’ve loved Metallica since the late 80s and I can say that they are among the best live acts in the entire world.
Happy birthday, James! May there be many, many more!
