he really shows that he's human like everyone else. he's just got a spectacular talent, but that clearly doesn't invade his idea of being a regular guy
James is such an introvert . He is a deep thinker for sure. Even those less appreciated albums because that I still like so much because it kinda dig into your soul, and it can let you feel vulnerable sometimes, and not just cover youself with more and more layers. I grew up listening to their music, and I still do now with every album that come out, I have. It is a music for the loss soul and you can find the spot that you fit right in. That is why, I am a fan since 92'..ish. through high and low with them. Awesome journey!
Love the analogy of him and Lars both driving the car while Kirk and Rob are happy in the back. When Cliff was with them, the dynamic was different. Cliff wasn’t driving, and he was happy in the back, but he also showed the other guys some amazing scenic routes they never would’ve taken without him. Jason of course had the impossible task of taking over from their brother Cliff, so any scenic suggestions he came up with were usually shut down. Bless all of them, their collective journey and their individual journeys.
James looks very healthy on this interview and speaks pure wisdom and inner peace of himself. i really dig that attitude. he knows now and its great to see him grown up.
Brilliant interview, James is like my father in music and soul.. as a musician myself i can totally related to him especially on deep stuff fucking love this guy so much.
Exactly! We're close to the same age, so "father" isn't quite the word, but James, especially since he's the lyricist, has had a large role in shaping who I am.
kirk hammett not complaining and demanding something more after not having many contributions to their song making only shows how humble he is. Many musicians have left their band because of this issues including sad to say jason Newsted and in megadeth marty friedman.
James gives such a amazing interview....he really thinks out his answers and explains himself so well ..I really like his body language u can feel his sincerity.... And my god he's one of the best people to interview...he really makes the Interviewers feel comfortable..... Thanks James you are amazing person and have helped me in so many ways ❤️🤘
He is very intelligent compared to other metal musicians. He stands out. You can see that mostly in his Lyrics and Interwiews. Followed by personal demons throughout life, as it is the case for most brilliant people.
I know that few fans are interested in the personal life of James, but for me the truth is I appreciate James, I know that he has suffered a lot and I pray to God for him, God bless him not as an artist but for the human being that is
I thought asking him about using their music to "torture" Guantanamo detainees was a stupid question. He has no control over that. Interrogators also used Barney the Dinosaur, so...
God, how much I love this man! Excellent interview, James gives really profund and smart answers. His simplicity and sincerity are just wonderful. And that voice and laughter are mesmerising and so damn sexy!
I love how James handled the torture question. As well as all the political questions. If you know Metallica, you know they aren't (publicly) political. What I wouldn't give to go hunting with him.
5:25 When he said my mom, you can see it was hard for him to that. I know how it feels because I lost my mom as well. It can be hard to talk about her at times.
People believing pop artists' political views are more important just because they are popular. He nails it right there. That belief is so fucking wrong and that is partly why I hate the likes of Bono and all those activists. This guy right here, that's why he fucking rules. Hail the great James fucking Hetfield.
I don’t think most pop artists believe their political views are more important, they are just self-aware that what they say reaches a lot of people-more than the average person. It’s that way regardless if they want it to be that way. Some choose to use that power for good, like Bono. I never understood the hate he gets. I don’t like U2’s music but I respect that he doesn’t use his fame for just selfish and shallow things, he actually is trying to make the world a better place through humanitarian work and political enlightenment. The problem with James is he’s secretly a bone headed right-wing nationalist. His views are wrong and ignorant and as the spokesperson and lyricist of the band, it wouldn’t work to be political so the others in the band are inclined to be apolitical.
The interviewer sure does seem like he sure is trying to elicit a negative reaction from James further into the interview especially talking about “torture.”
Great great interview ! Best part for me: 12:21 - 12:29 (except the Guantanamo subject where he had no idea what he was talking about, he got lost there :-)
James's comment about his childhood religion not having any funerals is really the way it should be. Bury your dead and move on. Sounds cold, but there's no need to draw someone's death out for a week or two with the funeral business. It can cost close to $10,000 to bury someone, if not more. That's just plain greedy. "We're sorry for your loss, but don't mind us as we turn you upsidedown and shake you til your pockets are empty. Thank you! Next!" Hell, I just may write a will of my own stating that I want to be buried the very next day. Don't draw it all out and make the grieving process even worse than it can already be. The most common phrase I've heard from friends and family after suffering the loss of a loved one and burying them two weeks later is, "I'm just glad it's over." I think they mean the whole drawn-out process of burying the deceased. That's just my two cents. 🤷♂️
Yeah losing someone is painful enough that I don't really need some extra paid celebration to mourn and trigger even more pain than I'm capable of dealing with. If I am capable at all.
i am not sure whether he did not understand that these prisoners were deprived of sleep and exposed to their music at harmful volume or whether he actually condoned it. i hope he was just ignorant, but it does not seem that way.
Doesn't matter. These people are terrorists or help terrorists. Whatever it takes to make them cough up information that prevents more death and destruction . Don't waste your sympathy on them.
Think about it, James has Metallica and really very little else. I mean money is made and lost but the relationship of James and his band is tangible and you can hear that through his conviction in everything he talks through.
I adore this man. He’s gone through so much darkness, and yet he’s such a Light.
he really shows that he's human like everyone else. he's just got a spectacular talent, but that clearly doesn't invade his idea of being a regular guy
Glad he's not such a dick anymore, although I loved his attitude on stage back then because of it. It made him such a badass!!
He's a light...that nevaaaaa...never warms.
Must know the DARKNESS too truly appreciate the LIGHT.
And I love he so much too .GRATEFULLY .
one of my favorite interviews.. could listen to James talk all day
OMG RIGHT!!!!
Im agree, I love that interview too
James is such an introvert . He is a deep thinker for sure.

Utube; are you a good person by living waters my guy
Will never get bored of James speaking, from talking to his lyrics its just mesmerising
And this interview shows how James is one of the best lyricists in history. An artist indeed.
He has such a great speaking voice.
this is such a calming interview...
James really does seem like a down to earth dude. Much respect.
"Poor Kirk" pretty much sums up my feelings watching Some Kind of Monster
Love the analogy of him and Lars both driving the car while Kirk and Rob are happy in the back. When Cliff was with them, the dynamic was different. Cliff wasn’t driving, and he was happy in the back, but he also showed the other guys some amazing scenic routes they never would’ve taken without him.

Such a pity what happened now...
@@nico.ch029 he's healthy and sober again
Perfect example of money can’t buy everything. James had a hard time like all of us. And I’m sure he still struggles.
Now he is harder than ever
Brilliant interview, James is like my father in music and soul.. as a musician myself i can totally related to him especially on deep stuff fucking love this guy so much.
Same here man
me too bro
Exactly! We're close to the same age, so "father" isn't quite the word, but James, especially since he's the lyricist, has had a large role in shaping who I am.
me too i love him a shit ton
This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen. James' so open
I can listen James talking all day
Great interview. James shown to be a very deep soul
Unfortunately there is New Kind of Monster that James needs to deal with now. Wish him all the best.
what is it?
@@stevenailsmusic right? What's new? His addictions aren't new.
@@stevenailsmusic marek probably means sobriety
@@stevenailsmusic he went to rehab again, new monsters that have manifested over time
@@redacted7104 likely addiction whether alcohol, drugs, etc ...its a long-term batt6
I love his deep voice, his laugh, and his honesty. I could, and have, listen to him sing or talk all day long.
I would've named the sequel "The Monster Lives"... 🤘🏼
This was pure gold. I wish this was a series.
He should totally do a TED
i think they only allow leftwing fruitbag type people ..
kirk hammett not complaining and demanding something more after not having many contributions to their song making only shows how humble he is. Many musicians have left their band because of this issues including sad to say jason Newsted and in megadeth marty friedman.
this band makes me live gives me hope
Thanks for uploading!
James gives such a amazing interview....he really thinks out his answers and explains himself so well ..I really like his body language u can feel his sincerity.... And my god he's one of the best people to interview...he really makes the Interviewers feel comfortable..... Thanks James you are amazing person and have helped me in so many ways ❤️🤘
He is very intelligent compared to other metal musicians. He stands out. You can see that mostly in his Lyrics and Interwiews. Followed by personal demons throughout life, as it is the case for most brilliant people.
Most metal musicians are morons. Like mustaine and Hammett. Kerry king is dumb 2
most of metal musicians are intelligent.
For so many reasons the timing of Death Magnetic, the music, lyrics, vocals... was so fkg great. A great Metallica album, meaningful..
New grattitude and new love for life. That's the thing. Love how James listening and sharing each of his inspiration.
I LOVE this man!
Love THAT voice Metallica ever \m/
yyyyyeeeeeeeeaaa
thanks for this video
James is so honest and very polite.
Love this band
*My idol, I wouldn't be alive right now if it wasn't for Metallica, James Hetfield & Dino Cazares is the reason* *why I picked up the guitar.*
“Good thing he stuck through it cause it would have driven me crazy” lol
He never mentioned Jason who put up with exactly that for 14 years.
So handsome
There's a wealth of lyrics to a hundred songs from this interview.
I LOVE YOU MR JAMES HETFIELD AND I LOVE YOUR MUSIC, METALLICA, YOU ARE THE BEST.
I could listen to this man everyday of my life. I Wish my Uncle was around to have listened to this interview, it may have helped battle some Demons.
I know that few fans are interested in the personal life of James, but for me the truth is I appreciate James, I know that he has suffered a lot and I pray to God for him, God bless him not as an artist but for the human being that is
Great video 🤘💀👍
Such a beautiful soul.
"Wherever passion lies that's the answer.." I'll need to go and process this now. lol
"exposing your weaknesses is a pretty strong move" hmm. Yes James I agree.
His choice of words sounds like that of Brian Griffin.
this man changed my mind into up levels!!
I thought asking him about using their music to "torture" Guantanamo detainees was a stupid question. He has no control over that. Interrogators also used Barney the Dinosaur, so...
God, how much I love this man! Excellent interview, James gives really profund and smart answers. His simplicity and sincerity are just wonderful. And that voice and laughter are mesmerising and so damn sexy!
I luv the Het! 🤘💚
RESPECT 🤘
Welcome to the path Brother James.
I love how James handled the torture question. As well as all the political questions. If you know Metallica, you know they aren't (publicly) political.
What I wouldn't give to go hunting with him.
Love James!
i love you james
5:25 When he said my mom, you can see it was hard for him to that. I know how it feels because I lost my mom as well. It can be hard to talk about her at times.
I adore what he says about political matter. I agree, totally.
James is the glue that holds metallica together

I don't want it to stop...in otherwords..james isn't a snowflake
Let's sacrifice Harry from 1D and have James live for 100 more more years, such an awesome guy with amazing music, I love Metallica!!
lmao i dont even know what/who 1d or harry is/
He must have the benediction of tibet monks. Throughout the years he's become a wise man. Tons of respect. 🙏
Respect.
Everytime if I see Hetfield I have feeling that he is my relative
I wish he had more of an evolved point of view on torture. That aside glad he could get sober and keep his band together. Something I couldn't do.
New Kind of Monster is a great title.
ARE YOU ALIVE?!!?!?
Ran away into the back yard, under some dirt 😂
Some kind of darkness
I like his laugh 0:32
Sequal is "this monster lives" simple
But I respect & love this exellent "monster." I have big need of protect 🎶🙌 ☀❤☀🙌🎶
If he put on a hundred more lbs, he would be a fantastic. Santa
👍
Right on the hammer so true every word he says we fear death so much that we sometimes invite it fuckin Metallica rules
Hey, that's his laugh at 0:08.
I. REALLY. LIKE. METALLICA. BECAUSE. MEATALLICA. IS. A. VERY. VERY COOL. BAND. I. REALLY. WOULD. LIKE. TOO. SEE. METALLICA. IN. CONCERT.
I'm going to see them in august🤘😆
He's like a preacher with a really soothing voice I wouldn't be so shocked if he became a pastor at some point
Papa het!!!!
Fell off again be 💪 get healthy and those demons out of u
The interviewer sure does seem like he sure is trying to elicit a negative reaction from James further into the interview especially talking about “torture.”
Who gives a fuck if their music hurts terrorists? They lost their right to not be hurt when they dedicated their lives to hurting others.
Nice softball question to start out the interview🙄
22:26 That's exactly how you should respond to a German Hippie. Smart answer and the deadlocked eyes.
The sequel would be called suicide and redemption (death of the old mind set)
23:15 nice just as i imagined
22:32 --UnKind..
Fuck yeah
SKOM humanized them. It made them relatable.
Maybe the most REAL guy in r n r ever. Over the barriers giving good vibes👍
Metallica is the most punk band ever.
Great great interview !
Best part for me: 12:21 - 12:29
(except the Guantanamo subject where he had no idea what he was talking about, he got lost there :-)
Is 72 Seasons the next chapter?
Yes big time
There are a lot of us that know how the monster works. Just ask us.
Best band ever, love the notion that Metallica member don’t get involved in politics
That's what I like about metallica has absolutely nothing to do with politics.
@@zackmccrea4731thought AJFA was about politics
Other than that metallica is not a political band just so you know
AJFA might have been political you could be right to some extent
Who is the interviewer here? Is it a German?
Better late then never...
Yeah, the interviewer is german, 3sat is a german tv channel.

I’m disappointed that he describes Kirk and Rob as backseat passengers.
I’m disappointed your mother didn’t abort you when she had the chance
no he didn´t. go over to the part again and try to really understand what he was saying.
i am not sure whether he did not understand that these prisoners were deprived of sleep and exposed to their music at harmful volume or whether he actually condoned it. i hope he was just ignorant, but it does not seem that way.
Doesn't matter. These people are terrorists or help terrorists. Whatever it takes to make them cough up information that prevents more death and destruction . Don't waste your sympathy on them.

8 people are bleeding from their assho
It's not OK to be OK with your music being used for torture. Other than that, this was a great interview, but that part kind of spoiled it for me.
That's only YOUR opinion. You're wasting your sympathy on people who would kill you as soon look at you, or help those people kill you..
Metallica borrowed less than arnold but are way in debt still to chuck taylor
Did James become an old man in just 10 years?
