Reading through the comments, all these people whining about "why name him Castor? It's "beaver" in Spanish!" He's named Castor because it means "shining one" or "to shine" in Greek. That's why James named him that.
It os also the name of a character from the Greek mythology who is the son of Zeus and Leda, which is, by the way the reason why the star was named like that (Castor is a star from the constellation of gemini)
Anyone who has seen the documentary "Absent" understands how huge this is. Despite the travel and time commitment that is inevitable he is doing all he can to right the wrongs from his own childhood and stop the cycle. Being a father is the best and most important thing a man can do. This is awesome. (men and women both should check out the movie/documentary "Absent.")
What a wonderful dad James H. have become, with all their achievement in their music he still so grounded. So awesome video, more respect and thanks for sharing the video.
who would dislike this wholesome family event...maybe megadeth haters? or any1 who hates metallica i guess. don't boggle ur mind over the precious time given to you.
Castor, along with his brother Pollux were 2 famous Argonauts in the Greek Mythology. The 2 most brightest stars of Gemini costellation are called Castor and Pollux after the twin brothers. In Latin the twins are also known as Gemini or Castores. And yes, Castor is a cool name for a kid!
3InSupremes Yes, he goes hunting a lot. In the 1992 video "year and a half in the life of metallica" it shows him blasting stuff with a shotgun for fun.
YISH! 11 years ago now….Castor is now 21! Old enough to share a cold one with his old man now….It’s now time to truly call him “grandpapa Het”, rather than just papa Het!
imagine having one "uncle Kirk"... holy shit...
imagine having one papa het
Imagine having an Uncle Mustaine, holy shit
@@Krzztl ahahhahahahhaha underrated
godfather lars
@@Krzztl He would replace him by another nephew in a few months. XD
One of the most badass metalheads is one of the coolest dads ever , hell yeah \m/
In my opinion, I guess parenthood and marriage (ACTUALLY) DID KILL THE BEAST THAT WAS, WAS, METALLICA!
how many dads can celeberate their kids birthday while working at same time?? haha!!
Kirk is well prepared
Like the good uncle he is!
James has set a really good example to his children. He’s a great dad.
James is cool.. he shares the stage with his kiddos...Enough said.

Ken Jones Castor Is te name of a constellation
It os also the name of a character from the Greek mythology who is the son of Zeus and Leda, which is, by the way the reason why the star was named like that (Castor is a star from the constellation of gemini)
Thought it would've been a pun on Stratocaster
@@KevinGsWK AND A TELECASTER HAHAHAHAHAH
It was James' father's name, I reckon.
James Hetfield -> one of the best fathers in the world for as far as i know!
Tbf any loving dad would do this if they had the chance, but unfortunately, not everyone is in a popular band like Metallica
Yeah and but not every father appreciates his child and sticks around to love and care for his kid/s
Respect! James is a heck of a father!!
That's amazing how James does that for his kids (:
Imagine ALL those people singing happy birthday to you! It's awesome.
Fender TeleCastor
HAHAHAHA, this comment is too good
Fils666 haha
Fils666 well done mate
TeleCastor ✊😀
this is awesome and now castor is touring the country in his own band! long live the hetfields
It would be cool if Castor follows in his dads footsteps and starts his own band and they become just as good as Metallica.
devinmetalfreak this is a little late, but he isn't interested in bands at all actually.
Acillatem
@@Krzztl 😂
@@skinnyfella4816 hahaha I come from the future to tell you, in 2022 Castor have a band called BASTARDANE and sound really good 😎👍
He has a band now called BASTARDANE. They sound nice. Lets hope he can make success for his own talent, it seems he is in the right track for that.
We've all grown up with Metallica and they have grown up with us. Love how grounded these guys are.
Just a Big man sharing sons birthday with us.... with Metallica family as a part of family... bless you big man and your family...

I love the way how James Hetfield sing "Happy Birthday" at the end ^^
And now he's a kick-ass drummer in a kick-ass band 🤘
That poor kid, he didn't see it coming! :)
What a wonderful dad James H. have become, with all their achievement in their music he still so grounded. So awesome video, more respect and thanks for sharing the video.
Dang he is 20 years old now
hahah kirk is like "fuck this poster, FOAM HIM!!!"
I’m surprised he didn’t pie him
aaaw, thats kid from some kind of monster movie :D
Yeah if course he is. His James's son. He was maybe just over turning 3.
I give Metallica full rights to silly string me.
I bet his birthday celebrations are gonna get even cooler as he gets older!
Holy shit, he is my age when I was his age! :O
:D
So you're 22? I got confused
who would dislike this wholesome family event...maybe megadeth haters? or any1 who hates metallica i guess. don't boggle ur mind over the precious time given to you.
i'm twelve and this is my favorite band of all time.
I love how kirk was in his mid 40's and looked 20 with nail polish and eye shades
Nobody:
James Hetfield: "happy birthday to youuu OO YEHEAHH!!"

+Raffie Quler 10- 4(T)
1:30 Castor: "Hey! Daddy tell Kirk to stop spraying me NOW!"
it was in Lisbon, Portugal, 18th of May 2010, first night, sold out gig obviously!!! And they played a second gig on the 19th.
Nope, Castor, as in Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology. The motor oil is Castrol.
+Steve Byrne castor oil.
James is the best father here!
James is a way better father that his father was!!
JAMES HETFIELD!!

There you are playing games at home, and the doorbell rings and uncle Kirk, Robert And Lars are at the door.
3InSupremes Yes, he goes hunting a lot. In the 1992 video "year and a half in the life of metallica" it shows him blasting stuff with a shotgun for fun.

Did he name his son after a stratocaster or a telecastor
YISH! 11 years ago now….Castor is now 21! Old enough to share a cold one with his old man now….It’s now time to truly call him “grandpapa Het”, rather than just papa Het!
i am now your 100th subscriber
What a cool birthday
1:33 kirk started the foam thing lol
😂😂😂😂 yo even his moms jumped in. Parents getting payback for being a pain lol. Awe that’s so cool, make Castor feel like a member of the band/team.
Just two days before this, Ronnie James Dio left us... ;'(
And this day (16th May) is my birthday...
So cool. Best dad ever.
too cool man, best celebrity dad in the history of ever!
If I was James Hetfield's daughter/son.. I would cry every day because my Father would be JESUS HIMSELF.
I see football in that kids future. Nice moment at the end.
This is just as cute as the one with Marcella his younger daughter.
That's what I was thinking...
@MotorbreathMaster really?? cool!!! I'm going to be at novarock nickelsdorf. it's a rockfestival in austria and metallica are going to play there...

@Sammytiki Whoa! That's awesome! Wait...did he go to a private or public school?
"My dad is James Hetfield"...just imagine his friends.
