Justin Bieber sings the guitar part to ‘Fade To Black’, leads Metallica to claim they are ‘Beliebers’

We’re not exactly sure how we missed this two weeks ago — Red Sox? Miley? Danzig? — but apparently Justin Bieber was filmed recently singing the guitar part to Metallica’s once-sacred 1984 classic “Fade To Black.” Dan Kanter provides some real guitars, and the Biebz sings along. 15 seconds is really all you need.

But wait — there’s more!

It looks like the clip is making the rounds again today, because TMZ is reporting today that the love between Metallica and the young pop star is mutual.

Somehow we suddenly feel like the guy in the “One” video.

The band was giving an interview with a rock magazine about Bieber’s recent take on their mega-hit “Fade to Black,” when lead singer James Hetfield admitted, “Are we Beliebers? Yes.”

Drummer Lars Ulrich backed James up … saying, “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**k. 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.”

Huh. World gone mad, yo.
