In a recent interview, rock band Metallica went on the record to say they love all things Justin Bieber and now we're wondering if we slipped into the Twilight Zone.

It's a dimension of sight, a dimension of sound, a dimension of Metallica hugging their Bieber dolls. Ugh. We guess taste is in the eye of the beholder.

After being asked about Bieber's "cover" (read: air guitar playing) of their hit song "Fade to Black," lead singer James Hetfield replied, "Are we Beliebers? Yes."

Added drummer Lars Ulrich, "I think the kid's really talented and obviously to go through what he's going through at that early age must be a mindf*ck. So the fact that he still goes out there and does it, I admire that and I think he's super talented, so I guess I am kind of a Belieber."

"As long as he stays out of trouble, I'll be a Belieber," chimed in bassist Robert Trujillo.

Well, at least Kirk Hammett has our back.
