Its like a giant "Fuck you" to all the people trying to take them out of Glastonbury The only thing close to as good as this was their anti-censorship stand up at the 96 MTV music awards
This really made me laugh :) I watched the Glasto show last night and weirdly enough, despite all the claims (from the media) that everyone wanted to sell off their Glasto tickets because of Metallica being there, I didn't see too many people walking out in protest.
***** Yes he has killed bears! if you watch Some Kind of Monster, he shows some pictures of himself killing a bear in Russia. but so fucking what?!!! he kills bears and that's none of those people's business.
....and then the music began and they were epic!! Loved every minute of their Glasto set and being on a friends shoulders for Seek and Destroy was the highlight of Glasto 2014!
Its always funny to think the people who give Metallica the hardest times are always Metallica fans. God knows how many times ''I'm actually a fan of their first three albums'' has been typed during an Internet argument. Shut up and enjoy, this film was funny and clever and they did an amazing performance at Glastonbury leaving everyone pleased.
If someone says they're only a fan of their first 3 or 4 albums, they aren't a Metallica fan. Just a fan of about 6 or 7 of Metallica's nearly 40 years of being a band.
Now, I'm not a great fan of hunting for sport. But bearing in mind the Glastonbury festival is held on a dairy farm, I'm not sure it can be argued that James Hetfield's pastimes are at odds with the event's ethos. Also, when I was there, I distinctly remember eating chili con carne paid for with cash out of a leather wallet, so I'm in no position to cast judgement.
For Metallica to do this at their debut on Glastonbury, just goes to show they still have a bout of that old school, ballsy, bad ass spirit in them. Metallica will, and have forever kicked ass.
Diego Ramirez It was a natural progression at the time.. if there is anything Metallica I haven't heard it's safe to say it doesn't exist or hasn't yet been released.
Perfect response to all the anti-hunting bullshit. apparently in America it's wrong to shoot a bear, but okay to keep chickens in cages their whole lives being shit on by the chickens above them
Interestingly I read James frequently goes hunting in Alaska or something. I liked the video anyway though. It's fine if you don't think too much and just take it for what it is.
***** so then what's wrong with hunting? they have a good life. it's all these people who eat meat then say it's wrong to hunt. basically saying it's wrong to kill animals but okay to eat animals killed by someone else
***** Yes humane. Would you call it humane to keep a HUMAN in a cage their whole life and then shoot them in the head instead of letting them live their life freely? HUMANE.... You got jokes homie. Side note: bacon tastes amazing.
They weren't trolling PETA, they were taking the piss out of the British fans who whined about Hetfield being a Dirty American Bear Killer while ignoring the history of the people they are so proudly subjects of.
Metallica was trolling all of the haters... The video was in retaliation to the online petition to have them removed from the lineup because of Hetfield narrating the hunt for the bears. They also sold shirts with quotes on them from the people who were talking shit on them...
Also, I was there at glasto on this evening, and the huge roar as the humans got shot, and then the hilarious silence when Metallica took off their costumes too a stunned silence was too much :*)
Daniela WoofWoof That's your rebuttal? You've apparently never lived in an area where the animals are constantly being hit on the roads because they had nowhere left to go with overpopulation or when those same bears attack a person after venturing into town or when a cub gets killed by aggressive males. I watched the show one night to see what the fuss was. Two of the hunters were going after bears that were killing off cubs and their mothers. Remember Tim The "Grizzly Man"?? The guy who would live with the Grizzles every summer. He was eaten by a diseased grizzly. Again, I'm not pro-hunting, I've never hunted a day in my life and I love the outdoors and I like animals, but these people protesting Hetfield just liked the sound of their own voices, and didn't like that a metal band was playing their festival. End of story...
I wonder how Kirk really felt being forced to support Hetfield on the issue of killing an animal. Kirk is totally against that shit and I'm sure he wasn't too happy about it truth be told
I’m sure being in a band with the dude for over 3 decades and knowing who James is as a person beyond his political views, he was more than happy to support his friend in the face of bullshit.
It was a thing where people were petitioning to not have Metallica play Glastonbury because Hetfield narrated for a hunting show and some other people got butthurt about it too. This was basically Metallica rising above the controversy in a really boss and funny way. They won my respect and the people who were trying to insult them lost.
PANICBLADE as someone who often goes to Glastonbury, there have been a few of these protests directed at everyone from U2 to Tyler the Creator, and I think Metallica are the first people to ever confront them head on. It was brilliant and went down really well with most of the people there.
Juan David If a dumb little video made for the sake of fun turned you away from Metallica, then you were never a worthwhile fan to begin with, and neither were the others. I mean if anything it makes you irrational and narrow-minded. "I'm going to stop listening to music I like because the band made a funny I took offense to." So now you stop yourself from listening to music I assume you otherwise like because someone disagrees with you, and now that you are offended by it, you are now letting yourself become double disappointed. That really sucks man, hope it works out for you.
I don't agree with hunting, but I do approve of James Hetfield. It was a bit sad people were posting fake pictures of some random guy with a dead bear saying it was james though. My stance is if you care so much about hunting then you better make damn sure where your Eggs and Meat come from don't be a hypocrite and make it count for everything you do. Also, fuck plastic!
guys, most of you miss the point. the point is, british culture has a massive fox hunting tradition and this video slams the english people's "holier than thou" attitude.
Sadly most of the complainers about hunting don't get anything nor do they want to understand, they just want to keep the trend and view themselves as cool and better than anyone else.
Very very funny that nobody has any problem with depiction of the band killing actually human beings. Funny that. If the band wants to hunt, then let the band hunt. Fucking petty bullshit shouting about it.
Except the band don't hunt. The only member of the band who used to hunt is James Hetfield. And I think the band were taking shots at fox hunting, as well as the people who didn't want them at Glastonbury.
But when James hunts... the band hunts. Yeah it a fantastic video. Poking fun at all of dicks that go to Glastonbury. Admittedly they're not all dicks but as Bruce Dickinson said "We'll leave the middle classes to do Glastonbury - and the great unwashed will decamp to Knebworth, drink a lot of beer and have fun."
This was the first time I encountered the Regressive Left trying to de-platform someone they have a disagreement with. Metallica stood up to them! If you are one of the morons on here who think metallica is endorsing fox killing or bear killing etc, you obviously don't "get it". For some context.. James Hetfield appeared in some bear hunting documentary and some hippies didn't like it, so they said "We don't want you to play Metallica" and had a petition going around. (The early signs of trigger warnings and safe spaces). Now, what does James Hetfields' interests outside of Metallica have anything to do with their music? And even if it did.. you don't have to watch or listen. Are you that much of a child that you can't listen to the music of someone who might hold a different opinion than you? Anyways.... This video is showing the irony of nature. Because I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but... when an animal isn't killed by a human, it is either killed by another animal or eventually dies, it doesn't become an angel. I'm not saying we should liberally kill, but what Metallica showed (with a good command of humor) is that sometimes bears kill people. See what they did there? It's called nature.. Now, you're fully entitled to disagree with him, but to go out of your way to have his band (which does not endorse bear killing in any manor, and actually speaks out against injustice and war) removed from the bill is just childish. Put your blanket away and have a sense of humor and learn to form an argument instead of slandering and de-platforming.
hi man sorry i dont think you understood "their message", they are not dressed as bears that shot humans to say that sometimes bears kill humans.... what they are saying to british people is, dont fucking tell me off for killing bears when you do something as cruel (with lots of resources like dogs, horses and humans with guns.....) as to let a fox scape, then trace him , find him and kill him....so they are critizing they double moral....(how you kill is bad how i kill is ...tradition culture or whatever and its ok in UK) so the point of metallica (or hetfield) would be quite clever and totally spot on if it wasnt because this fox hunting cruel and primitive thing its been banned already for 10 years !!! so mr hetfield, you are 10 years late to use this "ey you also kill for fun fuck off " i guess....britons moral and uk ethics has evolved..... you should also evolve, and stop killing animals for fun....which is bad
awesome… The four horsemen, sorry Bearmen, having fun… true anti-rockstars delivering entertainment and messages to whoever is sensitive leaving enough room for interpretation and controversy as always… like it ! Lars' face removing the bear head is priceless ! and btw, cool tribute to the man who played Tuco, they owe him so much...
Rob could do a commercial for L'Oreal lol
No man, L'Oreal should make a commercial for Rob
I was at Glasto for this. Come back and watch this every now and then. Goosebumps.
Best show of my life.
Joe Rogan: "Do you hunt bear?"
James Hetfield: "Nah, I usually wear clothes"
Every day I love you even more, Metallica.
same, im so happy to be a metallica fan
Love it!
This
Is
the greatest thing ever
Its like a giant "Fuck you" to all the people trying to take them out of Glastonbury
The only thing close to as good as this was their anti-censorship stand up at the 96 MTV music awards
This really made me laugh :)
I watched the Glasto show last night and weirdly enough, despite all the claims (from the media) that everyone wanted to sell off their Glasto tickets because of Metallica being there, I didn't see too many people walking out in protest.
This was random, but really fucking cool
It is not random. Green Peace people wanted to kick Metallica out because James narrated in a documentary about bear killing called "The Hunt"
***** also that wasnt james
***** Yes he has killed bears! if you watch Some Kind of Monster, he shows some pictures of himself killing a bear in Russia. but so fucking what?!!! he kills bears and that's none of those people's business.
Amir360 That isn't Hetfield, it's some other random hunter guy.
this is just fucking genius... only metallica can do this! they are legends!
Trolling level: Metallica
"Master Of Horses are pullin' the reins!! Master... Master!!" lol ;)
This is also why they're still the best band in the world!
when they said that James was into bear hunting, this is the last thing i expected it to mean!
....and then the music began and they were epic!! Loved every minute of their Glasto set and being on a friends shoulders for Seek and Destroy was the highlight of Glasto 2014!
Its always funny to think the people who give Metallica the hardest times are always Metallica fans.
God knows how many times ''I'm actually a fan of their first three albums'' has been typed during an Internet argument.
Shut up and enjoy, this film was funny and clever and they did an amazing performance at Glastonbury leaving everyone pleased.
lol this was a great comment, and it perfectly categorizes a lot of Metallica's critics.
exactly lol and I'm actually a fan of...ALL THEY'RE FUCKING RECORDS METALLICA KICKS ASS LOL
If someone says they're only a fan of their first 3 or 4 albums, they aren't a Metallica fan. Just a fan of about 6 or 7 of Metallica's nearly 40 years of being a band.
It's mostly first 4
Check out thier Glastonbury performance, It was epic.
No, it wasn't epic. They were shit, a pale shadow of the band they once were
ChrisBstard no it was epic :)
ChrisBstard Nah, they were pretty darn good. I'm sure when you're forty you'll be an even paler shadow of your insignificant former self.
Ryan Flynn mediocre at best. Out of tune and sloppy. Not epic :)
Ady Cox I am over 40, seen them live all over the world. They were shit, end of
random as hell. i love them.
Now, I'm not a great fan of hunting for sport.

Jeremy Goulding LFMAO. You've never heard St. Anger, have you, sonny?
Diego Ramirez It was a natural progression at the time.. if there is anything Metallica I haven't heard it's safe to say it doesn't exist or hasn't yet been released.
+Diego Ramirez I bet you haven't either, youre just one of thos bandwagoning morons
Brilliant response! Legends
How have I only just seen this? This, is hilarious 🤣🤣
Naprawdę zajebiste!Nigdy bym się nie spodziewał...
Perfect response to all the anti-hunting bullshit. apparently in America it's wrong to shoot a bear, but okay to keep chickens in cages their whole lives being shit on by the chickens above them
Interestingly I read James frequently goes hunting in Alaska or something. I liked the video anyway though. It's fine if you don't think too much and just take it for what it is.
***** the world cant sustain itself on just vegetables. there isn't enough farm land
***** so then what's wrong with hunting? they have a good life. it's all these people who eat meat then say it's wrong to hunt. basically saying it's wrong to kill animals but okay to eat animals killed by someone else
***** so it's okay to kill animals as long as you don't enjoy it
***** Yes humane. Would you call it humane to keep a HUMAN in a cage their whole life and then shoot them in the head instead of letting them live their life freely? HUMANE.... You got jokes homie. Side note: bacon tastes amazing.
Great majesties pass beyond one after another...
*In Memoriam Eli Wallach*, June 24, 2014
that was awesome!!! loved it
5:51 I CRIED XD
Best video ever!!! :D
This is so awesome
Man that was awesome...really awesome
great to see they've got such a good sense of humour haha.
also, how majestic is Rob's hair? :')
I was thinking the exact same thing about Robs hair
É por isso que eu amo essa banda!!!! #FamiliaMetallica
SO AWESOME! Stick it to the man.
This is so beautiful
The right to arm bears
And this is why this is the best band in the World, 'tallica4life!!!!!!!!
hahahaha LMAO here
Brilliant. Metallica has been putting a smile on my face since I found master of Puppets in 86 and today that smile is even broader
Part of the film The Belstone Fox made in 1973 and filmed in the Quantocks, Somerset was used in this film !!
LOL......Metallica trolling PETA like a boss.
Great performance tonight. Well done.
They weren't trolling PETA, they were taking the piss out of the British fans who whined about Hetfield being a Dirty American Bear Killer while ignoring the history of the people they are so proudly subjects of.
This is just a pretty big "fuck you" to all the Glastonbury people who campaigned against James' bear hunting activities, really
was a brill gig ... better than download ... epic video :)
i loved that movie!
4:20 So SWEET ... Battle with same weapons ;-)
Dafuq did I just watch?
Metallica telling Greenpeace and 2/3 of the crowd at Glastonbury to fuck off I think.
Dr J Reefer Naah they are taking sides with them in a way.
"Glastallica ... A Film by Julien Temple"
Metallica was trolling all of the haters... The video was in retaliation to the online petition to have them removed from the lineup because of Hetfield narrating the hunt for the bears. They also sold shirts with quotes on them from the people who were talking shit on them...
Oh, 'tallica did it again... Very funny and clever film guys! Love you to death!
The sarcasm is strong in this video. AMAZING!
Metallica don't stop surprising me!
This is the best thing I have ever seen.. Jesus, they're like fucking children it's beautiful
Super amazing! xD
Gives me goosebumps every time
I will from now on wear sunglasses under the head of my bear costume, even if I am going out at night to get a loaf of bread.
for ever metallica
This is weird
Wtf did I just watch??? Fooking hilarious, jolleh good show old chap!
I just see 4 guys doing something childish and having a great time doing it. And I had a great time watching it!
Also, I was there at glasto on this evening, and the huge roar as the humans got shot, and then the hilarious silence when Metallica took off their costumes too a stunned silence was too much :*)
People should really watch the whole thing before saying "same as download" or "they play it every show"... Watch the fucking video, people!!
Pretty epic video in response to all the backlash. I love The Sweet too.
Definitely a different but awesome intro to say the least!!! :D
So, this is a thing...
this is the greatest response to all the anti hunting bullshit that popped up about james that i could imagine....metallica is just the best
Good!! Loved it :3
Done deal ! love it !!!
The hunter fox is being hunted by the hunters. Then it gets saved by hunter bears!! Genius!!!
Nothing breaks the giants!! Long live Metallica!!!
6:16 ROBERT'S HAIR FLIP!!
Ah, so THAT was the intro! I like it..
Love it!
Weedtallica
I'm not a hunter, but I have nothing against. It helps control the population. This was hilarious. Well done Metallica...
So...I think we need to control human population first... THERE ARE A LOT!
Daniela WoofWoof We have world wars for that. Get ready for round III.

Maybe you want to say "do an extermination"
I'd love to see the protesters profess their love to some of the wild life. I'd pay money to see that.
Good stuff right there....
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
Metallica just made hipsters (or as I like to call them shitsters) their fucking bitch. They are now forever cemented as my favorite band of all time.
I wonder how Kirk really felt being forced to support Hetfield on the issue of killing an animal. Kirk is totally against that shit and I'm sure he wasn't too happy about it truth be told
I’m sure being in a band with the dude for over 3 decades and knowing who James is as a person beyond his political views, he was more than happy to support his friend in the face of bullshit.
I was under the impression that his vegetarian choice was more about health than a political statement.
I remember Julien temples movies were great, this is just pointless
Brilliant!!!
Sai kaivamaan vanhat Metallica (ja vielä vanhemmat Sweet!) levyt hyllystä.
You're fucking champion mate! Kill 'em all Hetfield!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! YES!!! METALLICA WINS AGAIN!!!
what did they win, they made a short that's on the internet... Who lost?
It was a thing where people were petitioning to not have Metallica play Glastonbury because Hetfield narrated for a hunting show and some other people got butthurt about it too. This was basically Metallica rising above the controversy in a really boss and funny way. They won my respect and the people who were trying to insult them lost.
PANICBLADE I guess that works, good on them then.

It made my day.
this is actually so fucking perfect hahaha love it

Greatest band in the world, PERIOD!
Fenomenal!
Fantastic, absolute Metallica class.
guys, most of you miss the point. the point is, british culture has a massive fox hunting tradition and this video slams the english people's "holier than thou" attitude.
Loved it!! Guys have a great sense of humor! Can't get enough of it!!
Thats like the best ever,glasstallica
You know that hunting in several american landscapes is legal and its a way to control the predators of that place, right?
Sadly most of the complainers about hunting don't get anything nor do they want to understand, they just want to keep the trend and view themselves as cool and better than anyone else.
Weird & random, still better then St.Anger ;)
It had nothing to do with Metallica's music at all....
+Fish Bait another bandwagoning moron
Omfg that was amazing! #Epic
OMG! HAHA GREAT VIDEO! GLASTALLICA!
Qué lástima por sus almas vacías de amor a la vida.
Te doy toda la razón... Que se puede esperar de un alcohólico? Matar para sentirse vivo... Patetico
Very very funny that nobody has any problem with depiction of the band killing actually human beings. Funny that. If the band wants to hunt, then let the band hunt. Fucking petty bullshit shouting about it.
You need more upvotes friend! Thanks for being logical

Badass from start to finish! R.I.P. Eli (The Ugly)
Absolute Genius!!!!!
wtf did i just watch?
AmundNO I have no idea but I died laughing
First Napster, now this.
Sayonara suckytallica!
Up! :D Anna,Christine,Tinja&Markku :D
hahahaha, brilliant. Fuck your petition
6:15 LOREAL porque ROB lo vale xDD
Te doy toda la razón.... Triste tener que matar para sentirse vivo... Pero que se puede esperar de un alcohólico?
Well that escalated quickly.
This was the first time I encountered the Regressive Left trying to de-platform someone they have a disagreement with. Metallica stood up to them!

hi man sorry i dont think you understood "their message", they are not dressed as bears that shot humans to say that sometimes bears kill humans....
what they are saying to british people is, dont fucking tell me off for killing bears when you do something as cruel (with lots of resources like dogs, horses and humans with guns.....) as to let a fox scape, then trace him , find him and kill him....so they are critizing they double moral....(how you kill is bad how i kill is ...tradition culture or whatever and its ok in UK)
so the point of metallica (or hetfield) would be quite clever and totally spot on if it wasnt because this fox hunting cruel and primitive thing its been banned already for 10 years !!! so mr hetfield, you are 10 years late to use this "ey you also kill for fun fuck off "
i guess....britons moral and uk ethics has evolved..... you should also evolve, and stop killing animals for fun....which is bad
Underrated comment.
awesome… The four horsemen, sorry Bearmen, having fun… true anti-rockstars delivering entertainment and messages to whoever is sensitive leaving enough room for interpretation and controversy as always… like it ! Lars' face removing the bear head is priceless ! and btw, cool tribute to the man who played Tuco, they owe him so much...
