"We're not out to please every single person on the planet " - and after over 40 years, people still don't understand that.
Tony! They will never understand it! 🤘🏼
They're not professional fans, just amateurs, and I bet some of the complainers weren't even there for the early work!
@@deadmanrunning6670 give me a meaning of professional fan?
Yeah, and the funny thing is the bands that get credit for “ always doing real metal” never get their later albums talked about. It’s not like slayer or Megadeth have ever been rewarded for not putting out an album like the black album. You ever hear anyone really talk about their albums after the mid 90s at all? Nope.
@@MikeysMorgue hope you're ok mate. 🤟
Traditionally the older you are the more admired and respected you become. That changed in the US the last 50 years for a variety of reasons. It’s refreshing to hear James say “I’m not ashamed of my hair being white and being 50 something. I earned that.” Exactly.
Ok fine, but them thinking thier this great metal band still is delusional. They have been living off thier past successes for decades.
You don't deserve unquestioning respect simply for continuing to not die. You earn respect through your actions and character, regardless of how young or old you are.
@@Broccoli_Highkicks But unless you know otherwise you should assume the older person has deserved your respect. Not always the case is true. But I believe in giving respect to anyone before you know if they deserve it. If the real person comes out and they are a piece of work, then you change the way you deal with that person.
@@kskip4242 they still make good music, not like in their prime, but they are fine. James is a legend. It comes down to preferences, enjoy whatever you like. They are not great, they are the best for many when all considered.
@@kskip4242 Obviously, you didn't listen to a word James had to say in this interview/ video, did you? He DIDN'T say they "think they're still some great heavy metal band". No, he did not. That's your own delusional mind creating what YOU think they should be. And then, it's the reality that they aren't exactly what your delusional mind told you to expect. They were known for being one of the greatest heavy metal bands. They're in their 50's now, and as always are still a band that likes to play music that they want to hear. He clearly says ( and always has) "We're not going to (or trying to) please every person on the planet.". They just do what they want to do, play what they want to play, just like they always have.
Now, they HAVE BEEN one of the greatest heavy metal bands, and during that time, they made some great heavy metal. They still play those songs...and still can as long as they want to play them. That doesn't mean " they still think they're some great heavy metal band" as you claim.
It seems to me that you are younger and missed out on the time when they were a great heavy metal band. So you're just jealous of those who are older than you, like myself, that were there to witness it and live in it. They ARE still a great band though. They STILL are selling out stadiums shows all over the world...and guess what... They DO still play some great heavy metal at them. So keep picking your nose and flicking up your chin at them in disappointment if you want to, while you sit there at your computer keyboard in your bedroom at your mom's house. Keep typing about how you think they aren't living up to your expectations or watch and listen on your computer. Or go to a show when they come to whatever town you live in. Which ever you choose, watch and listen to whatever they want to play or record at the time they record it. If you like it, great. If you don't, too bad. You can turn off your device or walk out of the show. But don't get all pissy because they didn't meet your delusional expectations. They weren't trying to please you in the first place, little boy.
Now go pour yourself a glass of milk, drink it before you go to bed & get back to your dreams of Metallica being whatever you want them to be.
James’ speaking voice is as awesome as his singing voice. Damn.
The day these guys call it a day, it will be a real end of an Era. They've given so much to the road & us fans. Thank you.
Absolutely !!!! Gives me chills thinking about a world in which Metallica is of the past wow
They certainly weren't a radio band. They built their brand on the road. Power to 'em! You can feel their energy at their shows. Even today.
@@nakedhookandfloridaoutdoors Till they sold out with Enter Sandman and the Black Album...
@@drugstorecowboy6540 Hey, we all have our own views and opinions.
we'll never stop We'll never quit 'Cause we're Metallica
So many reasons why I still love this band after 30 plus years.
Hell yeah!!! 💯 🤘
We're all getting older, but these old guys kick total ass.
They have nothing to prove, they are legends.
I’m the same age as the band members, and been listening since that first album. Will be jamming this until I die. It is good to age and mature with these guys. 🤘
Me to, I will be 54 here soon. Grew up on these Boys from the very start. "Fine Wine"
In my opinion, it IS UNTIL YOU START HAVING OR CONTINUE TO HAVE HEALTH ISSUES.
You don't lose your love for your favorite music just because you hit a certain age, it's not like you wake up one morning on your birthday and you now have to listen to something else because you're "too old".
Metallica is the band that really got me into heavy music. Their music changed my life.
It would be impossible for a band thats from the mid 80's STILL making albums to atleast not produce a few that you personally don't like as much as others. Music is art and its subjective. Good or bad, just thankful we have these guys to keep feeding off of.
*Exodus has entered the chat*
@@El_Krani I saw both these bands back in the mid '80s. Paul Baloff was awesome. It must have been the Bonded by Blood tour. I still have the ticket stub. I saw Metallica at a club in SF and the very next year at Day on the Green and later the year in Sacramento for the Lightening tour.
So True, "Greatest Band Ever". Won't hit a homer out of the park everytime, but the body of work is tremendous.
@@El_Krani exodus probably have the most horrendous signer of the thrash bands. Their music is good but signing sucks
@@MrMOGHammer sounds like poser talk to me dawg 🗣️🗣️ better not say that shit in front of other metal heads 💀 key word “metalhead” not no fuckin pretenders repping slipknot and metallica
James is such a wise person. Love him. And yes Metallica are ARTISTS. They play and write what they love to play and want play.
These guys are ripping people off. 300 usd to 2000 a ticket. An artist ripping off the people. A sold out show will make Metallica 10 -16 million dollars per sold out show. Shorter smarter means more money. Won't enjoy at 300 -2000 dollars a ticket
@@megabaneen8057 how much do you think a show cost? Many millions nowadays. Should they only make pennies only playing in small venues with a few thousand people and get forgotten? Of course the price is ridiculous for us so I don’t go see them but I will enjoy the album for sure, and probably buy the show when they record the best one and put it on sale
@@megabaneen8057 make a band and price the ticket for 3💵
The reason I have loved Metallica for 30 years is not just their music, but their total commitment to being as normal as possible. Cliff said it best. He said we are not trying to be something fancy, we are who we are. There is no gimmick, they are just dudes playing heavy music.
So makeup and Lars and Kirk tonguing each other in pictures and all that Load Era stuff is normal? Not having a gimmick was their gimmick until they had the 'alternative rock' gimmick in the mid-nineties.
@@Albee213 Everything was weird in the 90s. I wore a spiked collar and JNCO jeans I wouldn't be caught dead in now, but the doesn't mean I wasn't genuinely enjoying myself at the time. People go through phases and fashion changes.
Whatever these guys have been huge tools every since they came up... for a band that can't play their material live for shit they have rather inflated egos especially that no talent ass clown guy who can't stay seated while attempting to play drums
No smoke & mirrors with these guys. They ARE NORMAL guys who make people happy. No drama, no prejudices or politics. That is the main reason they are LOVED the world over. They exude quality and professionalism.
Totally agree with that "I've earned my grey hair". I feel the same way. Society makes it as a disgrace to have grey hair. It is a badge of honor as we've been through alot as we age. Kirk looks gorgeous. Silver Power 🤘
👏📣Go, SILVER!!☠️GO!!📣👏
🧓💩💨WOO-HOO!👻⚰️👻
Yeah, my wife was like, "You want some color to hide that grey in your beard?" and I was like, "I was happy when I finally got it!"
@@JimVincent shame on her! You do you. 😝
4:30 "I'm in good shape"...yes you are, James. Yes you are 🔥😍
I'm older now......Still love Metallica
I got my ticket to see them live! Cannot wait, the guys sound great lately and the singles they've been dropping lately have been stellar!
ive seen them over 10 times... best show ever, ever time!! have fun!!
I saw them last year. I’m going to see them next year again (Twice)!! And I can’t wait! It’s totally worth it
@@Ilmelinmellon I also saw them for the first time in 2019 and they were amazing, I have literally been a fan of Metallica since I was 6 so seeing them almost two decades later in my life was a dream come true!
I have been blessed to see Metallica since '85 and haven't missed a tour since.....much love from S.A TEXAS
Could isten Papa Het talk about anything. This guy is a true living legend and hero for so many!
He definitely speaks with some hope for the rest of us.
James could read the telephone book and I'd listen for hours. This voice
I love this clips so much, good to hear Metallica is taking good care of themselves 💜💜
From day 1 they did it their way. No Remorse, No Regrets. Thank You, MetallicA.
And coming from kill ‘EM all the whole point of the lyrics in all songs almost all refer to getting the message across the whole population that Metallica will never bow down to popular opinion. After kill ‘EM all they got more serious about what they wanted to be and started talking about social issues and stuff. They still do. How a fucking band can last so long? By putting out material that never sound the same. Takes chances. It worked for them.
NO REGERTS!
@@jeffreydean7556WE DON'T CARE, WHAT IT MEANT
This is why I love Metallica. The most critiqued band ever. If folks want the same thing over & over there's plenty other bands. God bless em
So "True" I Love the adversity in their music. Top NOTCH
They have the greatest range of any band out there.
Got our tickets to see them live again but this time for my sons first concert … it’s a trip to see your kids truly enjoy what you’ve enjoyed your whole life! Thank you Metallica!!!
Thanks for 1983-1993...the coolest and best times... Just amazing.
I started listening back in 1984, I never thought I'd make it this long and so glad you are here rocking with us ain't younger folks
It has definitely been a gift. A gift that they gave in blood, sweat and tears to us the fans. Music. I couldn't live without it!
You guys are awesome & so lucky to be given the gift in doing what you do keep Rock'en on 🎸🎶🤘👍🖤🖤🖤🖤
Your all artist, but you’re also legends. I’m 53 and like the new metal. But always go back to Kill’em All. Going to see megadeath September in Plymouth Indiana, you should show up guys🤘🤘🤘💙 thanks
Get ready for disappointment. Did Justice, the Metallica GNR tour after he was injured and still rocked, Load. Then late 2018 I took the wife to her first Metallica concert in Grand Forks ND.
Kirk botched solos
James was bored
They went all "Blue Man Group" on "Now that we're dead".
And we sat in the same exact seats we were in for FFDP, who had opening bands VS the 2018 Metallica show, and the seats were three times the cost!
Sad to say not all of us are millionaires and sadder to say I don't have a time machine.
I could listen to that voice for hours... 🥰
Metallica was my first introduction to metal, back in 1986 when I heard Disposable Heroes on the local college radio station. I was 11 then and it totally blew me away. They still amaze me with their dedication to the journey of metal and rock n roll. True American icons. Love to hear James’ perspective on what they do. A metal god indeed. 🤘🙏
They have earned the right to tour fewer dates. They’ve been on the road for 40 years.
Let’s hope it means they want to get back to the studios sooner to produce another album before they pull the plug
Great interview clip
JAMES...THE ALMIGHTY DOWN PICKIN' GENIUS!!! HE'S MY FAVORITE ARTIST AND STILL THE G.O.A.T OF METAL AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME NEW STUFF!!! THE EIGHTIES ARE GONE AND LOOKING FORWARD FOR THEIR NEW ALBUM!!! HERE WE GO!!! 🎼💯🤘🎸🤜🤛🔥👊🙏👍❤️
Damn, this is beautiful. James is in such a good place right now and that makes me really happy.
I would love to sit and talk with James and the guys. They have been my 'big brothers', by my side, through thick & thin, since the 80's.
There are fans that complain about anything. When they cut their hair during the Load&Reload and people turned their backs on them over that was insane.
I remember reading their interview in one of the magazines back in 2000 if I remember correctly. They said "shows are our salt to life." This stay the same since. They put all in. It's one of the best shows out there still after all them years. Wow. What a commitment 👏
Love and appreciate all the music James.
We love ya James
Just do your thing
35 year fan, never going back
You gotta love James his perspective. He is just right! Keep em coming James and other bandmates! I will come and see you play what else is there? Music its all about 🤘🤘👍👍🎸🎸
James, true class act all the way. Dudes the biggest icon in heavy music and still remains a humble and grateful guy with the massive success and fan base.
Stays true to himself and the bands vision, not about pleasing poseurs and complainers.
He said it perfectly. Right music that you want to listen to. It doesn’t matter genre, type, popularity in modern society… Nothing matters. You write what you want to, what you will enjoy, singing, and playing… And your enthusiasm about the music will make others enthusiastic about it. So many people try to write what’s popular on the radio now in hopes of hitting popularity charts… That have nothing to do with the music itself. If you don’t enjoy playing it, and doing it, then it’s going to show every time and people are going to pick up on that. If you have fun, the crowd will have fun.
My first albums back in the day: Master of puppets, Life after death, Paranoid & south of heaven... and i am still hooked :)
I never got the fame that James and Metallica has had but I've played since I was 15 gigging and having a good time up to when I was in my late 30s early 40s. When you have a family it gets complicated. I'm in my late 50s now but still jamming on metal with guys I played with back then but now we just record and have a good time.
Join the fking queue 😂
I’ve been in bar bands since I was 22 also. At 59 still out there throwing down classic rock. Even at that level, it’s true high when you play something unexpected like Ace Of Spades or The Lemon Song and get a reaction from someone who appreciates what you do. Keep the real music alive James and fly the rock n roll flag!
@@100hooker preciate it. I'm gonna keep playing till I guess Arthur's curse takes my hands and fingers lol. You keep rocking as well brother.🤘🤘🎸
Awesome interview, love the honesty, and you guys all rock better now then 35 years ago when i was listening to you. 🤘
Good food is more affordable? I think James just proved there are parallel dimen$ion$. Anyway, been pumping my fist to their music since 86 and still loving it.
I respect the hell out of these guys for still going at it but I prefer to watch/listen to their old stuff, specifically their 80s stuff, when they were in their prime. What a hell of a run they've had.
Yeah 80s Metallica was unstoppable. Still awesome but yeah 80s was lit
Very much agree, but I’ll always be a Metallica supporter!! Even though, to me, their earlier stuff was absolutely incredible I support the changes and growth they go thru. As any human that grows through life, we look fondly on some of our early years and try to grow in our later years. Rock on my fellow metal heads, and stay strong!!!
@@Jakevrana Change is inevitable. Doesn't mean it's always good.
@@ash80510 correction: « is », not was. They still kicking major asses as of today and will for a long time
@@MrMOGHammer I'm with ya!!!
Me encanta la voz de James ❤
Can't wait to see them live on august!!!
Glad to hear James sounding healthy and happy. As the man said, he's earned it.
Bless this legend
James do you man ain't nobody gonna dictate what music I play neither should anyone dictate what you play
Fanning the flames of lost decades.
Where is that extract from? I'd love to listen to the whole podcast, show or whatever this is. Sounds fascinating.
James is the coolest guy and his speaking voice is so smooth
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
Clip'em all!!!😁😂😀😁😂😀😁
You guys ROCK and still got it! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I wish people stay young at heart!! I know people change grow old, and they tend to live their life based on their age which is silly!! stay 21 for 80 years
Love you James. True legend!
So much respect to this man.
Mad respect for James and his journey to better mental, emotional and most importantly spiritual health.
You gotta love Papa Het!
Straight up, who he is, zero fucks given....#respect
Damn. This changed my perspective on their new material
That was cool to hear
That “are you sure?” lol aww
James is so right. Artists should be able to express themselves, even with fan influence. But they're not yes people, they are Artists first. I get it, just wish some other people would
I have earned almost every grey hair on my body... I wear them with pride.
Inspirational dude for me
Anyone know when this is from?
Papa Het. I’ve loved him and the rest of the band since I was a little kid back in ‘86. He speaks straight from the heart just like he does with his lyrics and music. Keep doing things _your_ way guys. Cliff would be proud. ❤ 🙏 🤘
love this man ❤❤❤
Not your average 60-year-olds.
These guys are senior citizens.
Let that sink in a moment.
James needs to do crime podcasts. ❤️😍 love his voice!
Priceless! Him and Joe from Homicide Hunter.
He narrated a short series on hunting a few years ago
James should be in Pawn Stars with the moe he’s sporting currently
The critics will get old too,but the difference is they won’t have a fabulous retirement.
Papa het ,,, love this dude man !!!
James is in his late 50s, which in Metal years is 93.
I mean this as a compliment. Keep on going Metallica for as long as you can.
Could you tell me what interview is that?
Is this from his interview on the Sixx Sense?
I like Metallica for their honest music. They put their stuff out there and let it hang with no pretense of trying to please everybody but the real fans.
And punk & metal was born in that same attitude
This is what wisdom sounds like
What interview is this?
It's quite simple: Artists are free to do anything they want, as are "fans" free to choose to listen to anything they want to listen to. And anyone SHOULD be free to speak their mind on anything, especially in arts and entertainment. I think Metallica's new songs are not particularly great, and If Darkness Had A Son is quite mediocre. It should not be a big deal for anyone to hear that. If you disagree, just say so and speak your mind. If everyone did just that, the world would be a much better place. And to emphasize the point: It's both about speaking your mind and tolerating others speaking their mind (about you).
Metallica has been on my side since 1991. Now I am 42 and still my favourite band.
where did you get the clip?
It's from the Nikki Sixx radio show. You can find the whole interview on RUclips!
@@MikeysMorgue Thanks!
Wow. Super impressed. Papa Het has gained some wisdom. For a long time he was my top example of musicians I don't like despite liking what they do. He was an arrogant A hole as a younger man - and arguably - if anyone had a right to be arrogant, it was him, but it still doesn't make you likeable. But that interview has changed my view. I will enjoy their music even more now lol
He's definitely gotten alot more ground and down to earth in his older age. Unlike some.of the other artist in that era
I love whatever art Metallica decides to make!! Wish they were a bit quicker on the writing, 8 to 10 years per album is too much but I’m excited for everything they do!!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
They got older, tour all the time, I guess to make something different and fresh every time it takes more time then before
#Metallica __ #Clip’EmAll __
Ad we’re all here as pleasant earth living of metal! Just 🔥
I wish metallica would do an arena tour again... the outdoor shows just don't sound the same... one small breeze can change everything..
Been saying it for years. It’s alright if Metallica’s first 4 albums are the only ones you like, but saying they fell off afterwards just isn’t true at all. It just means you’re a thrash-exclusive fan and they didn’t want to make pure thrash albums anymore.
"a big powerful unit"
- James Hetfield
Beavis & Butt-head:
HEH Hheh-heh, he said, "a big powerful unit"
- :-)YEAH! hih hih hu, like the Mighty CORNHOLIO!
-- NO, you dumb asswipe! just James Hetfield! He's James Hetfield, he'll kick Cornholio's ass! & your's too if you don't shut the F up about it!
--:-) hih hih, okay Butthead. Uh.. uhm Metallica Rules!
What is this from?
Hetfield is a good man
I would imagine in the near future you are going to see a lot of these 80s and early 90s bands hang it up over a 5 year period.
I bet metallica will have 1 more album after this one. Megadeth suggested the next is going to be their last. Ozzy had to hang up the hat. There's not much left.
As James said during the JRE "theres more to life than just metallica". I feel like they also should be Able to spend time with the family and use all that freedom that they worked for 40 yeaes
Why? There's bands a LOT older than these guys that are still touring, and they're also still relevant enough to pack stadiums. Which is more than you can say for some more recent artists. Obviously, if they wanted to hang it up, they could easily survive, but they really don't have any reason to.
In the next 5 years?? Not even close. Those 80’s and 90’s bands still have decades of touring left. For example: The Rolling Stones started in 1962 and are still doing worldwide stadium tours afterall.
@@OriginalGrasshopper in theory bands could last forever if they replaced the dying members every time. Like hockey clubs, most players in the start of nhl that played over 70 years ago are dead.
I heart this
*METALLICA* IS A "BEAST" Long live the MUSIC.....*CATER*
*THEN TOUR "AMERICA*"
Revelation wonderful 🖤🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘😈😈😈😈🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Like lemmy said do it for you, and if the fans like it keep doing it, wish you would go back to the style of kill em all...fast..heavy and raw
This interview is 9 years old
There are a few bands around these days that should think about taking the same road as REM.
After Metallica James will become a Philosophy instructor at a community college. Metalology 101.
