Urlich: In 2000, Ulrich (Metallica) faced criticism when he was one of the first artists to take direct action against Napster. In July 2000, he testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee after Metallica's entire catalogue was found to be freely available for download on the service. There was mass outcry from Napster users. No one ended up getting sued for copyright infringement, and the case was settled out-of-court.

Chong:In 2003, Chong was targeted by two American investigations code-named Operation Pipe Dreams and Operation Headhunter, which sought out businesses selling drug paraphernalia, mostly water pipes. He was charged for his part in financing and promoting Chong Glass/Nice Dreams, a company started by his son Paris. Chong agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute drug paraphernalia in exchange for non-prosecution of wife, Shelby, and his son.

While 54 of the 55 individuals charged as a result of the operations were sentenced to fines and home detentions, Chong was sentenced on September 11, 2003, to 9 months in a federal prison, forfeiture of $103,000, and a year of probation.

Lars is the drummer for Metallica and has been since the bands inception in 1980.

Tommy is an actor who used to make hilarious movies about a pot smoking duo with his friend Cheech...Cheech and Chong.

Tommy can now be seen on reruns of "That 70's Show", as a long gray haired hippie.
