\n
\nMETALLICA’s lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett, is reportedly disgusted with the
\nway famed 82 year old artist Frank Frazetta is being treated by certain members in the Frazetta family, who – get this – are allegedly holding the elderly art legend against his own will in Florida.
\n
\nFrazetta retained all the original Conan paintings, and long refused to part with them. Many were displayed at the Frazetta Museum in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. In 2009, Frazetta’s “Conan the Conqueror” painting was the first to be offered for sale, and was purchased by a private collector for $1 million.
\n
\nThe supposed buyer was none other than Kirk Hammett, better known for being the lead guitar player in heavy metal’s biggest band. He is said to have purchased Frazetta’s epic “Conan the Conqueror” painting for the hefty million dollar amount. Now Metallica is apparently stepping-up to the plate to support The Frank Frazetta Museum re-opening, Frank Sr. and Frank Jr.\u2019s Freedom, and helping put an end to the insanity.
\n
\nWord has it that Kirk was willing to shell-out the 50K needed to bail Frank Frazetta Jr. out, after his apparent false arrest<\/a> in mid December of 2009, which was allegedly engineered by Frank Sr’s other son Billy Frazetta and his attorney Gerard Geiger, who are said to have now hi-jacked the entire Frazetta Estate (worth around 100 million dollars) over the past 7 months.
\n

\n
\nFrazetta is also famous for his art being used for rock album covers, such as Yngwie Malmsteen’s War To End All Wars<\/em> from 2001. His incredible works of art have been used by other top hard rock acts such as Nazareth, Molly Hatchet, and Wolfmother.

\n
\nMore on the PURPORTED<\/em> story from Ghost of Ellie<\/a> (a blog site dedicated to saving and preserving The Frank Frazetta legacy):
\n
\nFrank & Ellie Frazetta had swore that the Conan paperback book covers would never be sold and would always remain together as a collection, permanently on display in the Frank Frazetta Museum. Privately Frank Frazetta said to numerous witnesses prepared to testify:<\/strong>
\n
\n“If I agree to sell this painting. Will this FINALLY bring peace to my family?\u201d<\/strong>
\n
\n\"tmd\"
\n
\nKirk Hammett is said to have shelled out one million dollars for this Frazetta masterpiece shown above, which set a world record and raised the bar on the value and appreciation of 20th century commercial and fantasy art.<\/em>
\n
\nAt this point, it was hoped by Ellie\u2019s Museum staff that the Conan sale would not only placate the 3 salivating children, and Dr. Death but a small portion of the proceeds would also help with the planned expansion of the Museum and this years 10th Anniversary celebration ( 2000-2010 ), but the million dollars in cash was promptly transferred without Frank Frazetta\u2019s knowledge or approval into the new back account of a \u201cFrazetta Properties\u201d LLC created as a front for Billy, Heidi and Holly\u2019s under-handed activities. Frank and Ellie\u2019s personal \/ business account was also bled dry by these Unholy 3 of 6 figures in cash.<\/strong>
\n
\nFrank Frazetta got word of Billy Frazetta attempting to actually cash the Metallica Million, and withdraw all of the money in one shot. When the bank refused to hand over the money, Billy proceeded to have a major public meltdown in front of numerous witnesses at the bank. Teller\u2019s are prepared to testify to this fact.<\/strong>
\n
\nHammet reportedly has shown great concern for possibly contributing to the current circumstances at the Frazetta Museum compound, with his 1 million dollar purchase of a Frank Frazetta masterpiece.<\/strong>
\n
\nBoth Frank Jr. and Kevin were present, along with 3 other Museum staff members, when a valiant attempt was made to prevent any more art thefts by Heidi, Billy, and Holly, ( after they repeatedy changed the locks of the Museum ). Frank Jr. and Kevin ( and crew ) tried to lock Frank Frazetta\u2019s masterpiece paintings away in a New York City Museum Art. This dramatic event occured sfter the classic original Frazetta painting \u201cKane of The Golden Sea\u201d was stolen in November of 2009. And after other repeated art thefts by Billy, Heidi and Holly and the bogus company Frazetta Management continued it\u2019s shady dealings.<\/strong>
\n
\nTMD has been informed that the Frank Frazetta Candle-Light Vigil will be held at the home of Lori & Frank Jr. Frazetta, this Friday evening (March 26), in front of their home, at 7:00pm EST. Which is being organized by a once close friend of Ellie Frazetta.
\n
\nThe vigil will only last 30 minutes to 1 hour long, so please be prompt if you are planning on attending. You may want to show-up by 6:00pm or 6:30pm to meet & greet each other. The hope is that Frank Sr. will be provided safe transport from Florida (where he is being held) to re-claim his Marshalls Creek estate, and protect his namesake, Frank Frazetta Jr.\u2019s name, from any further slander, instigated only by envy & greed.
\n
\nPlease spread the word to anyone you know who may care to attend.
\n
\nLori & Frank Frazetta Jr.\u2019s home is located adjacent the Frank Frazetta Home Studio & Museum Estate at Marshall\u2019s Creek, PA.
\n
\nThe Estate has sat empty since Frank\u2019s disappearance on December 1st, 2009. 3 1\/2 months ago.<\/em>
\n
\nNo one is permitted to access the actual Museum Estate grounds and must stay sole on Lori and Frank Jr.\u2019s property. Which will be indicated upon your arrival. But the Frank Frazetta Museum and it\u2019s beautiful grounds and the lake that Frank Sr. made is still visible from their property.
\n
\nATTENDING IN PERSON WILL BE FRANK FRAZETTA FAMILY MEMBERS:<\/strong>
\n
\nLori Frazetta
\n
\nFrank Frazetta Jr.
\n
\nWilliam Frazetta
\n
\nFrankie Frazetta
\n
\nNicole Frazetta
\n
\nNoelle Frazetta
\n
\nThis is a peacful demonstration of concern and compassion for Frank Frazetta to immediately be permitted to return home to his estate, as he has repeatedly requested on the phone. And so far has been denied. The Media will be invited.
\n
\nDirections will be posted here<\/a> shortly. Please stop back by.

\nDirect contact information will be provided shortly to the Frank Frazetta Candle-Light Vigil event coordinator if needed.
