@@tkl7049 Well he DID just do a stint in rehab again last year. I'd say that helped quite a bit. And no, it doesn't always happen as you age. I personally know a few bitter old people who seem to have a never-ending supply of anger and bitterness.
I love(d) them all! The NWOBHM Bands...Maiden, Priest, Saxon, the glam from Kiss and Motley Crue! The hard rock AC/DC, Van Halen, Ozzy...the metal an heavy rock...Motorhead, Metallica! As years go by, it all doesn't matter. Just enjoy the music
So true, and so glad it turned out like that. Imagine if they had today the exact same mindset they had 30+ years ago. That would be just fucking sad, for them or for any human being.
Almost like a war of imagery and fashion rather than ideology or values, like football hooligans beating each other up despite a shared common interest - albeit for different teams. Less posing bands like ACDC ,Maiden and Scorpions etc not so controversial and and could be enjoyed by both thrashers and glams without fear of ridicule. Youth culture has a lot of searching for something to Identify with .
Dokken was a great band though. George Lynch was a guitar god, and Don had one of the most powerful voices of the 80s era. Such a unique sound, and beautiful when he needed to as well. Shame they ended on bad terms :/
1:59 Nick, Hamps: Freddie Mercury would throw up if he heard your version of Stone Cold Crazy Metallica: Wins Best Metal Performance Grammy for it along with James getting the honour to perform it with Queen themselves at the tribute concert
I actually had that tour book from the Black Album tour, and Lars is not exaggerating- it was a long collection of negative reviews about the stylistic change the band took with that album. I remember being quite baffled by it as a young teen.
I Hated it when it came out after being a longtime fan that started with Kill em’ all , i wasn’t that fond of and justice for all either...I’m much older now and they took time but have since grown on me 🤘🏻
With good reason. From AJFA, a prog, dark masterpiece to radio-friendly anthems in one album... don't get me wrong, it was more accessible, and I was among those who loved it at first, in part because metal was now mainstream, which meant more choice for metalheads and more exposure for otherwise lesser-known bands. But as I grew older, I realized that this is when they started selling out. These days, I only lsiten to their early records. The rest is pretty bland.
I still don’t really like it much. I remember my friends and I sitting down to watch the Enter Sandman video and saying “nope”. Millions and millions of fans feel differently..
It's funny how Load is always shat on as the moment they "sold out" but the Black Album was really the big turn..."Hey, guys, let's get the dude who produced Loverboy to do the new Metallica album!"
@@redwelder5296 I got into metallica in the late 90s/2000s and back then everyone loved the black album. It was only within the last 5-10 years that I realized how many people were disappointed in it. I always loved it but then again I loved Load and Reload
Sure, but when a band decides they need to dress like women to make it big, they're not trusting their music nearly enough. And while I love love love Dokken's music, there's a reason they never lasted, and there's a reason they're not as well-loved as many other 80's hard rock groups.
Addiction is very tricky though. After this, the moment he goes back to the hotel or whatever and is alone in his head. Perfect breeding ground for bad habits to pop back up again. Just gotta keep on your toes, I sure hope he's doing alright, and hope people have compassion and attempt to bring down the stigma associated with addiction, because it's in all of us at varying degrees of some sort. People will doubt that sentiment, because they don't want their ego shattered, but it's true. Everyone has some sort of vice.
QPRIME was the management of both Metallica and Dokken back in the 80s and according to an interview with George Lynch, their management actually tried to DISCOURAGE the members of Dokken from wearing spandex and hairspray, because the image DID NOT fit the sound and both Don Dokken and George Lynch both admitted they should have listened to their managers back then... Musically, they were nothing like Poison or Bon Jovi. .
A lot of band unfortunately fell into that camp. WASP were similar especially when they got into their career, but supposedly metallica fans wouldn’t give them the time of day when they toured together. It’s even more sad that fan still today carry the whole “fuck the posers!” Attitude. Which is dumb considering the most manufactured glam bands in the later 80s were accepted and tallica was even touring with them...
Yeah, it really would've been a good idea for them to trust their music. Some bands needed to dress like chicks to get MTV airtime. Dokken did not. Too bad they didn't realize that.
Look, we all know that that was a questionable decision and just underwhelming era for the band, so... Let’s just... I don’t know... DON’T FUCKING TALK ABOUT IT! OK?
Lucky had a rental truck with XM and this was the show As a Metallica fan since I was 8 years old hearing my friends brother blasting And Justice For All in his room with the door closed in the spring of '89 it changed my life forever! Thought I knew everything about Metallica but then Howard gets them to talk about parts of their personal life that is such a huge treat for fans like me to hear! Amazing fucking show!
Dokken wasn't a glam metal band. Also, there were plenty of bands in the power metal, progressive metal and various other metal sub-genres that also dressed up like that and they were playing heavy and intricate music.
Metallica was the first band I ever seen in concert with Faith No More opening up at Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta when I was 15 or 16 and it was one of Greatest Nights Of My Life...when they played "Harvester Of Sorrow "( My favorite Metallica song) I completely lost my shit lol...I haven't been able to catch them again live since then but Hopefully One Day🤞🤘
We all know that's simply not true, even Mustaine knows it. Some of us liked both types of Metal, in fact most Metalheads especially back in the day felt that way. Its all Rock & Roll no matter how you wanna slice it. However, you had these Neanderthals who claimed they only liked thrash. I'm pretty certain that constant back and forth bickering drew a line in the sand and tore the Metal community apart. As a result of that came the most boring 10 years better known as the grunge era.
No such thing as glam metal.....it’s just rock!!.....Thrash is not metal either..it is it’s own genre!! We can’t take metal and keep chopping it up into dozens of categories, because it broadens a type of music that was once distinctive & underground!
I met these guys at The Peabody in Memphis 1988 the day before the Monsters of Rock at the Liberty Bowl (July 8th i think). Super nice guys! In fact Kirk was throwing peanuts at Lars to catch in his mouth when I sat down. They did an amazing show right after a band called Kingdom Come. Then Dokken. Then Scorpions and then Van Hagar.
Howard Stern is the greatest inteviewer imo, he asks meaningful questions and genuinely relates to a lot of the answers given. Class act from a man that people think is the opposite.
The thing with Axl was during the tour. Before that I don't remember him saying anything bad about Metallica and for Metallica, as far as I know they liked Guns N Roses. And Im not sure but I think it was Guns N Roses idea to have a tour with both bands...
I liked Dokken and Metallica both back in the day. I dont think most fans seperated the two styles like are led to believe. The majority of people back then who liked rock, liked all rock and didnt discriminate. Dokken had some killer tunes.
James is looking so good. He has a glow to him. I’m happy and proud that he came out strong and didn’t let a setback keep him down. The mans a true warrior. Can’t wait to hear what they have brewing in 2021❤️✨
the only one deserves their apology & gratitude is Mustaine the thrashmaster for helping to get them noticed in first place,kicking him out & then using his music on first cpl albums..but great for us cuz Megadeth has been consistently superior anyways
Winger. To me it was an amazing band , for a musical perspective , rod on drums(I studied fanatically the Hal Leonard Drum tab book. Even Corrected Small mistakes on Rainbow in the Rose.. ) reb on guitar. Kip on bass ,,,World class. I just think they were the product of their generation. And what sold at the time, And could’ve made a different genre of music if you were 10 years younger or older . There’s always been band feuds. . But in the 80s it was very extreme.. i saw metallic at once. It was 1986 at the Nassau Coliseum. With Ozzy Osbourne. Great show.
Metallica's Black Album was the Album that introduced me to Metal, and they are one of the founding bands that started my Rock Mentality and Evaluation. Rock n' Roll!! Metallica, I love you Guys, and you guys are true Hero's of mine.
It's funny that that album was that to you because it was the beginning of the end of Metallica for me, being a teenager with the album's before it was awesome!!!! But the albums after it 🤷🏻♂️ just didn't move me the same way, unfortunately.
You guys are caught in a time warp. I have listened since 84 to Metallica. St. Anger is the old turd they made. As for Lulu, never checked it out because I do not like Lou Read. Bands have to evolve or would you rather have them be like AC/DC?
All these thrashers dissing what Dave Mustaine called gay LA metal, and yet he brings in Marty Friedman, and former members of Alice Cooper, White Lion, and Y&T.
Interesting question: was there pressure from management to change your image?No, there wasn't. Metallica did that themselves. Do these guys forget they were wearing eyeliner and shit in the Load era? Metallica haven't really carried the flag of thrash since AJFA. Their first 4 albums were awesome, and the black album had some good tunes. But theyve spent more of their career trying to incorporate trends than they have defying them at this point. Good guys, and I'm a fan, but let's be real.
I'm the same age as James and grew up in the next town over, so I was a fan from the beginning. Metallica and Slayer were exactly what we were waiting for at that time. The hair bands were done overnight.
I just wanna say I hope James is doing alright in recovery. COVID lockdown, it's rough for those that struggle with addiction. Break the stigma. Have Empathy. You're not alone Master Hetfield.
@@russkate88 Yeah, but he was bouncing around behind that drum set like a superball in a clothes dryer, stick some corduroy slacks on the guy and he'd have burst into flames...
good ol' james...im glad he's back...i just hope he doesn't want to retire anytime soon...i know he said in some interview that he wanted to sloow down. *anyone else heard/read that?
The sad thing is that while he is throwing darts at Winger, Metallica is changing from one of the greatest metal bands of all time, to some of cheesiest rock stars of all time. And i was expecting a great comeback album after that "made for radio" black album. Just kept getting worse
Havent enjoyed a Metallica interview in over 10 years,aside from the older Puppets footage & Justice footage ............This was Good entertaining stuff imo
If anyone wants to know Kip winger was nominated for a Grammy last year in classical music worth 4 million Dollars & doesn’t work at Starbucks Not all those bands were talentless & he’ll of a lot better musicians then the crap out today.
Yeah unfortunately he became the whipping boy for everything that was shitty and worthless about glam and hair metal. Lots and lots of people say in interviews that he's a pretty decent guy and very talented, its a shame that he became the King of "Wuss Rock"
I remember listening to a bootleg tape of these guys backs in early 80's from their club scene. I knew then you either love these guys or hate them.There was no in between. I loved them then when nobody gave a shit about them and I love their music even more today. One of the best 4 piece bands ever.
From the Playboy interview around the time Jason Left the band. Hetfield: We had our battles with spandex, that’s for sure. You could show off your package. “Wear spandex, dude. It gets you chicks!” On the first tour through America, my spandex-- I fucking hate saying, “my spandex.” It’s a pretty evil phrase. They were wet from the night before, and I was drying them by the heater. A big hole melted right in the crotch. It was like, “They’re not real pants, are they? They’re like pantyhose.” I just opted to keep my jeans on, and that was the best thing that ever happened. Lars wore spandex up through the Black Album tour, though he might tell you different.

Good guys, and I'm a fan, but let's be real.
"First half of your life is causing destruction, and the second half is cleaning it up." So right.
I'm the same age as James and grew up in the next town over, so I was a fan from the beginning. Metallica and Slayer were exactly what we were waiting for at that time.
The hair bands were done overnight.
Lars: We wanted to be the opposite of that.
James: YEAH!
OOOHH!
Rock was awesome in the 80s. You turn it up and jam out. Who cares what anybody looked like.
Lars always speaks on everyone’s behalf.
Yeah, I've noticed that, rare for a drummer...
I wonder how many years Lars has been saying "antesesus" for
And I wonder why nobody can spell antithesis.
Great input by Kirk and Rob.
Absolute legends. That includes Howard
Howard's gotta relate to this on a deeply personal level.
James looks like he never aged, he looks really happy 🤘🤘
They all look old. Open your eyes.
Howard: *Stutters*
Hetfield: I love what you’re saying Howard!
This should be The Howard Stern Show with Lars Ulrich..
I don’t get how they just didn’t think “hey it’s all rock n roll”
ROCKIN' LIKE DOKKEN!
meanwhile Howard loved al the spandex bands in the 80's
Great interview by Howard! I could have watched an hour of that!
I just wanna say I hope James is doing alright in recovery. COVID lockdown, it's rough for those that struggle with addiction. Break the stigma. Have Empathy. You're not alone Master Hetfield.
Everybody's looking good, love this interview thank you🌬💗🌬💗🌬💗
They did wear spandex
Lars wore spandex up until and including 1993.
@@russkate88 Yeah, but he was bouncing around behind that drum set like a superball in a clothes dryer, stick some corduroy slacks on the guy and he'd have burst into flames...
good ol' james...im glad he's back...i just hope he doesn't want to retire anytime soon...i know he said in some interview that he wanted to sloow down.
*anyone else heard/read that?
No
It still spins my head that James is almost my dad's age 😨
Give him a couple more years, he’ll catch up to him
2:03
James: “some of them were me” 😂😂
The sad thing is that while he is throwing darts at Winger, Metallica is changing from one of the greatest metal bands of all time, to some of cheesiest rock stars of all time. And i was expecting a great comeback album after that "made for radio" black album. Just kept getting worse
Havent enjoyed a Metallica interview in over 10 years,aside from the older Puppets footage & Justice footage ............This was Good entertaining stuff imo
I’m surprised they didn’t tell the “guns and roses” story.
If anyone wants to know
Kip winger was nominated for a Grammy last year in classical music worth 4 million Dollars & doesn’t work at Starbucks
Not all those bands were talentless
& he’ll of a lot better musicians then the crap out today.
Yeah unfortunately he became the whipping boy for everything that was shitty and worthless about glam and hair metal. Lots and lots of people say in interviews that he's a pretty decent guy and very talented, its a shame that he became the King of "Wuss Rock"
Howard definitely has changed over the years.
Metallica wore spandex on their first tour
Lars wore it up until and including 1993.
What about the eye liner and short hair in the nineties?
I'd like to forget that era
Was just thinking that.. Alice in chains got them good
Weird stuff, but the music was still good.
James has said many times, that is something he wish Cliff was around to back him up and not go along with it.
we don't talk about that era just like we are not about to talk about the year 2020 when it is over.
Out of all the hair bands Dokken was actually good. Very melodic and heavy compared to the other bands. Too bad they fell victim to the glam image.
I remember listening to a bootleg tape of these guys backs in early 80's from their club scene. I knew then you either love these guys or hate them.There was no in between. I loved them then when nobody gave a shit about them and I love their music even more today. One of the best 4 piece bands ever.
What are your thoughts on anything after AJFA?
Great interview!
A great quote to finish this video.
I review metallica albums on my channel if anyone is interested
Lars was throwing darts at Kip Winger...lol. I never noticed that on the video. Too funny.
I didn’t know Paul Mcartney was a drummer
Ummmm, they wore spandex too.
From the Playboy interview around the time Jason Left the band.
Hetfield: We had our battles with spandex, that’s for sure. You could show off your package. “Wear spandex, dude. It gets you chicks!” On the first tour through America, my spandex-- I fucking hate saying, “my spandex.” It’s a pretty evil phrase. They were wet from the night before, and I was drying them by the heater. A big hole melted right in the crotch. It was like, “They’re not real pants, are they? They’re like pantyhose.” I just opted to keep my jeans on, and that was the best thing that ever happened. Lars wore spandex up through the Black Album tour, though he might tell you different.
