He is,but as far as I know his voice did become damaged over the years so he kinda stopped doing that so he can preserve it. He does it on occasions nowadays
@@TheDreday1993 I don't think that his voice is damaged. At first he sang like that but then he started singing with clean voice and technique. Now he rarely sings with distortion. But, still can do it.
His voice is recognized for his real screams. Not any gimmicky gutterals or other fake voices. The true metal scream is epitomized by James. That's why we love his voice. For the real metal screams. "YeaaaAAHHHH!!!"
@@Kbax3614 he mentions in an interview that he blew his voice on the black album tour, so hence why he started singing differently in live performances
@@LeVezz yeah, he’d eventually end up blowing his vocal chords around the Black Album era, hence the different tone with it in his singing, he’s admitted that from Kill Em All to …And Justice he just pretty much screamed the vocals, and right before or during the Black Album era he went and got actual vocal lessons to prevent even more damage to his chords.
It's funny that James never growled on any Metallica songs, because when you hear him do it live here and there, you can tell he actually has some of the baddest growling voices period. Somewhere between prime Mikael Akerfeldt, David Vincent and Chuck Billy.
It terms of James voice 1982-1986 a fierce prepubescent lion 1987-1988 a teenage alpha male lion 1989-1992 true alpha male lion 1993 an aging alpha male lion who although is getting old at certain times his youth still will roar out of his body 1994-1995 an old alpha male lion who tries really hard but he is now past his prime and Dosent have it anymore 1996 somehow a true alpha male lion again!
I've only seen them live in Lisbon 2007. I would give anything to see them back in the 80's early 90's. Either way it was awesome. Orion was on the set list. Rob nailed it.
It would be funny to think that same as Hetfield and Hammet competed to play faster the songs and show who was the fastest, Hetfield also competed with Jason to show who can growl better.
How to be James Hetfield: YEAH!, table, beer, YEAH YEAH!, downpick, explorer or v or single cut, muscle cars, YEAAAAH!, M.U.Y.A., rehab... continue if I missed anything.
You can tell back then he was more aggressive and now he’s more singing but when he wants to bring some aggression he can James is probably top 2 front man him and ozzy
He needs to growl more he's surprisingly great and guttural

James could've been a death metal vocalist
"Master YEAH of YEAH Puppets YEAH" 😂
I think it's a miracle he's still able to sing at all after years of this
What?
@@DoNotPirateNoPiracy the growl damages the voice overtime
@@aniqanuar6320 not if you do it right and take care of your voice
@@roneidomusic7300 I don't think the 80's James took care of his voice lol

@@blltidahd Mexico City 1993 sad but true

He is the closest man to a super hero status that will ever exist
I need James Hetfield screaming for my car alarm.

Did you know Metallica was only supposed to be calld Metallic?
But James could only say MetallicAAH
🤣
Nice 😂
2 hrs a night though only
The James Hetfield Stance. Badass.This is whats missing with other frontmen of other bands.
My phone speaker: *garbled distorted nonsense*
Spirit animals of James Hetfield:
1982-1991/96: a fierce lion
1991/96-now: a big cuddly bear
It terms of James voice
1982-1986 a fierce prepubescent lion
1987-1988 a teenage alpha male lion
1989-1992 true alpha male lion
1993 an aging alpha male lion who although is getting old at certain times his youth still will roar out of his body
1994-1995 an old alpha male lion who tries really hard but he is now past his prime and Dosent have it anymore
1996 somehow a true alpha male lion again!
Alternative title: How James blew his voice out.
Glad I found this, lol
Thane David Glad you like it :)

Either way it was awesome. Orion was on the set list. Rob nailed it.
Orion? I thought it took till 2008 or 2012 for that to get played
Edit: I was wrong, it was 2006
It would be funny to think that same as Hetfield and Hammet competed to play faster the songs and show who was the fastest, Hetfield also competed with Jason to show who can growl better.
You’re gonna freak when you see him play drums then
Was looking for someone to upload a compilation of James's roars and here you are doing us the favor Thanks man
This video made my body temperature raise
This could easily be the greatest video ever.
We've just been Hetfeilded.
He's a freaking Lion
are we fucking nuts tonight is probably the most badass moment for any metal vocalist
Nope. "Yea" is😎 the part from master 89 seattle when the music stops. Most badass yea ever .
never knew i needed to see a compilation of papa het growling until now
Daddy hetfield
I love it when he James Hetfields.
WHAT SHOW IS THE "SAD BUT TRUEEEEEE" AT 0:32 FROM

How to be James Hetfield: YEAH!, table, beer, YEAH YEAH!, downpick, explorer or v or single cut, muscle cars, YEAAAAH!, M.U.Y.A., rehab... continue if I missed anything.

Most metal guy on the earth ! No death metal vocalist can beat this metality of james .
I remember a clip from him performing One and on the “Please God wake meeeeEEAAAAAHHHH” as he leaned back was amazing
this is a video that i didn't know i needed until i watched

James was at his Jamesiest during the Black era.
Just needed one 5 second clip of the "whaaaaa" he does in every single song. This was overkill.
what an alpha lion. He and phil Anselmo are the best metal voices. unique Sound and pure Power.
Nice to see Mr. Yeahms Hetfield growling for one minute straight
MASTER YEAH OF YEAH PUPPETS YEAH!
It's exactly what I should have expected 🤣
James Hetfield - the first viking to survive
master yeah of yeah puppets yeah
Back when Metallica was brutal. I love when clean singers use growls as accent pieces, not like screaming just guttural growling.
Yeah!
this is so perfect omg
Lyrics: Oohhhhh yeaahhh, owwww, Shhhhhh Ahhhhhh Boooo MMhhhh Ahhhhhh Bell Toooohhhlsls
The jamez
James Hetfield in his Lion phase
Seattle 89, San Diego or Seattle 92, Mexico 93, and some other shows
🤘James is one monster!!!!
Lion king James.
You could also call this video "How James Hetfield Lost His Voice".
You can tell back then he was more aggressive and now he’s more singing but when he wants to bring some aggression he can James is probably top 2 front man him and ozzy
The Lion from Wizard of Oz

Me at 2:30 in the morning when I'm supposed to be sleeping.
RUclips: Here's a suggested video
The heaviest metal of of altime.
