Watch James Hetfield And Kirk Hammett Give A Tour Of Metallica's HQ

Ernie Ball and Metallica recently teamed up for a 'Hetfield + Hammett Experience' contest, giving three incredibly lucky winners the opportunity to hang out with Papa Het and Kirk, and take a tour of the band's HQ.

There's a whole bunch of cool stuff to be seen here (THE ACTUAL RIDE THE LIGHTNING BACKDROP – ARGHHHH!), as well as some excellent words of wisdom from the metal heroes, a look at their 'Wall Of Inspiration' to see who inspires them, and so much more – check out all the behind-the-scenes footage below.

*BRB while we geek out over all of this amazing stuff…*
