    His music has been the soundtrack for my life. From 14 to 52. Lucky enough to have seen them at their best (86' mop) and seen the genesis of thrash. What a fucking time to grow up in and this guy was already a legend in his late teens early 20s. If you listen to his lyrics he has told his life story to the world. The good and rhe bad. And even the ugly. People can hate on him but imo the greatest bandleader- innovator- front man to ever live. I don't feel weird saying I love the guy and I feel blessed for him sharing his gift with the world. His battle with the bottle and his honesty about it has inspired countless others to get help and pulled me out of a lot of dark places. Thanks for everything Mr. Hetfield.

    "I dont know what it sounds like, but it looks cool". This is me, as a 7yr old in 1978, begging my mother to buy me the 1st VH album. Turns out, I was right. She ended up buying it bc "atleast its not that Kiss crap". Eruption had her hunting more Kiss records for me. :D

    Is that a new Het sig? I know its the old (lawsuit) ex shape but the ESP logo on the headstock is the same as those on his Snakebtye which suggests it could be new or was a recent custom build. I really hope so

    He looks happy and healthy, and I'm happy for it. Ernie Ball strings sound great at first they become dull pretty quickly. I guess James has boxes of them so it's no problem for him.

    I wonder if James is having his older instruments restrung with the new set(notice his workhorses of the past behind him, most notably EET FUK)….would require widening the slots on the nut to accommodate the heavier gauges(whereas he used 10’s years ago)…
