$500,000 is nothing to sneeze at, but at the same time, the net worth of each of the individuals of the band added up together is a net worth of just short of a billion dollars.

It just feels a little hollow in the face of how massive this disaster truly is and how much money it will really take to recover.

Considering the band started in LA, you'd think that especially they'd feel the need to give more. It's not like they're from Detroit and helping out.

Remember kids, the difference between a billion and a million is roughly about a billion.

Hetfield can relate, he's had fire in his hand before.

Seriously though, that's really good of them.
