American Hi-Fi are experiencing success with their single, 'Flavor of the Week.' But did you know it was the mighty James Hetfield who inspired the band once known as 'BMX Girl' to change their name? In an interview with VOX, frontman Stacy Jones said: "Then we were in Maui recording and James Hetfield from Metallica calls Bob [Rock] and asks him what he's working on, and Bob is like, "Oh, working on a record." And James asked him the name of the band and Bob didn't want to tell him, but James asked him again and Bob finally told him. James says, "Oh. They need to change the name." When James Hetfield says you need to change your name you fucking change it."
