26 years later I’m only watching this now..... I am from Inuvik and I was there front row right in front of James !!!! FINALLY Molsen Polar Ice Beach Party Footage 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
For some reason James looked more beefed up like he was working out more or maybe it's the beer lol and I've never seen a more badass mullet than James's mullet during 95'
I've never heard James talk about working out. He's just a naturally big guy...look at his forearms. The only time he looked really slim and in shape was in 2011. I remember Chris Jericho talking about seeing Het at the 30th anniversary shows and asking him how he had slimmed down so much, and Hetfield said he was doing the caveman diet, which was a fad where you only ate whole foods that our ancestors would have eaten.
@@keefriff99 he did weights , I have heard him talking about it and you see him doing weights backstage on Cunning Stunts. Only light weights but he was absolutely trying to keep in shape.
@Coy Leigh maybe he'd be calling Marty Friedman. Mustaine is all repetitive pentatonics and he uses chromatic movement in really poorly fitting places a lot too.
"No rain and clear skies for 6 weeks, it's like, who the fuck do they think they're kidding?" As someone from Britain, I agree haha, fucking love Lars man
23:21 I'm totally confused by the sound of James' voice on Devil's Dance right here. For years I've heard that he blew out his vocal cords either at some point during the black album's tour or when recording So What? but here he is in 1995 and still has a damn good amount of grit in his delivery. When you see even the earliest Load-era live performances, his voice sounds 100% clean with basically zero grit. Did he just intentionally adapt his style to avoid further damage to his voice?
@Andy Salter I appreciate the info. I've heard all of that before but I'm still confused about why he went from having about the same amount of grit in that 1995 performance as he did for the black album tour yet just a year later it was gone. Did he end up hitting a wall where he had to commit to clean vocals to avoid risking any further damage?
@Andy Salter oh yeah, I've been familiar with their Eb live tuning since collecting their Load-era singles back in '98. Hearing pre-Load songs in Eb initially made my ears feel the same way my taste buds do when the drive thru fucks up and gives me Diet Coke. The sound of E standard was heavily ingrained in my ears at that point cuz I was learning a lot of Metallica stuff on guitar.
Pretty cool to see them like this, I've only seen (non-live) footage of them from 'Some Kind of Monster' and everything after that. So it really cool to see them before all sobering-up and becoming more mature. Kind of disappointed that they only played one song from their first four albums, still cool though.
My guess is he didn’t mean it like that he was just tryna be silly by acting like it was totally normal occurrence to be on a magazine and he was just like, hey man which one are u on?
"No more going to the library. No more reading up on pseudo intellectual stuff for nerds. Now it's beat the shit out of you with a piece of wood. Fuck you" lmao this has to be one of the greatest Lars quotes
23:20 How were they playing Devils Dance, a song on the Reload album which was released in 1997, when this documentary was filmed in 1995, a year before the LOAD album was even released, the album BEFORE Reload?? Were they working on Load and Reload at the same time but released them in separate years?
Man looking back to when that audience first heard 2x4 they were probably thinking "what the fuck is this"? It took a minute to warm up to those songs cause it was such a drastic change in sound.
There's a video that's like 28 or 30 minutes long on youtube from either '95 or '96 and it shows when the music media was first shown anything from Load and they have 'em all seated and roll the tape of 2x4 and there's just this chilling awkwardness among them just like how you described the fans in this video.

What’s really so crazy to think is this was twelve years after kill em all. Think of how short that time is when you compare load to know.
What's possibly even crazier is that Justice was only 5 years after KEA.
12 years vs 25 years.
Their career from nobodies to top of the world was basically 10 years. Even their 30th anniversary shows seem kind of old now.
Time physically sped up after 9/11. I don't care what anybody says. We sped up.
Also, it's sick to realise that Rob has been Metallica's bassist longer than Jason ever was.
I actually love Hetfield’s look during these years. Metal AF.
Not metal , rock and roll af ;)

I hear people say " Slayer kept it going!" But they're last 4 albums were rubbish to my ears and had nothing on they're 80s stuff , same with Megadeth ( who put out Risk , Cryptic Writings, Youthinasia, Super Collider , 13 all albums that are Hard rock more then metal )
I can't even listen to most 90s Anthrax as it just got boring though I love John Bush .
The only band that has kept its music pretty consistent is Testament but they are like a pimple on the ass of Metallica in the scheme of success.
I am just happy Metallica are still going.
@@andysalter7192 I would say Load/Reload are a million times better than DM and HW.
For me is enough what Metallica done earlier I mean first albums the level is incredible The best band in the world, just my ipinion
AMAZING ERA OF METALLICA!!!
What a treat it is to see James playing lead guitar in the beginning of this video… I bet he’s really good, but he sticks with rhythm and singing… it’d be cool to hear a song from him where he plays lead guitar and sings
I love how people in the 90's were so enthusiastic in front of the camera
