What's news on the new Metallica album?
Bought my passes, coming from Texas to see it!
We love you James

James is God's Prophets
Imagine being born and the first thing you hear is Metallica. Best entrance music ever.
That's what your mom said, she wants Metallica playing when we're alone and I climb on and make my entrance...."Enter King Blaino"
@@blaineedwards8078 Too bad yours is dead 😢
@@blaineedwards8078 ahhhhhhahahaha nice
@@blaineedwards8078 uhhhh...
What did you hear? Yeah don’t remember lol
James showing his struggles helps so many. You are not alone Mr. Hetfield
He's one woke mofo these days. Bring back the 80s...
@@TheErsatzMode what is that supposed to mean? This is about mental health.
God bless Trujillo for rescuing this band when they were free-falling in flames. That man doesn't get enough praise.
So true.
He is much much appreciated
Metallica died over thirty years ago. It's just a reanimated corpse these days.
@@TheErsatzMode but yet here you still are keeping track of what the are playing.
What about Jason Newsted?
Huge respect for James showing this side to everyone. We all struggle, we are NOT alone and it WILL get better.
You have NO idea if it will get better. You can’t see into the future. All we can do is drown out the pain.
Scott Wolff, it does not get better
Only if I get a group hug from Metallica.😔
Right!! Respect for him. I understand really well how it's not easy to show vulnerability in front of someone, let alone doing it in front of many people like what James did.
Even a successful rockstar is just a normal human being with feeling after all. Men and women are equally allowed to be open about their emotions/feelings.
❤️🩹wow James! I guess they’re are good men out there lol who knew?
I actually teared up a little. Metallica have been there almost my entire life and have been there through all my ups and downs. I’ve been to only seven or so of their concerts but I’ve never met them and yet they almost feel like family.
i have been a fan since early 90's and it will be a big dream come true to see them live at least once, if i can.
ONLY???? I haven’t even been to one yet :( I’m dying for that experience ONCE
That’s not entirely a good thing, parasocial relationships can ruin us
@@turolretar is not that deep dude. I just know what it’s like to feel like he felt and I was empathizing with him and it felt good to see his band mates support him. That’s the extent of it.
I wish all members of Metallica a lot of success,happiness and good health.
Anxiety is a monster but James kept his mind steady..I'm proud of him!🖤❤
Especially being caused by drugs or alcohol.. & those demons are always chasing no matter how fast u run
@@aliciahartwell24 hm, why take ur negativity out on or doubt someone you've never met or what they've been through? Ain't my neurologist or phycologist take that elsewhere on someone else...
@@richardwattz5039 I'm not gonna argue with u.. Let's just be peaceful please:)
@@aliciahartwell24 never wish nothing but the best for u & yours 😉🤟
We’ve lost too many people in the rock/metal community to mental health issues over the years. Kurt Cobain, Cliff Burton, Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell, Trevor Strnad, and so many others. It’s always heartbreaking to hear when someone’s story ends this way. But James is completely right, we’re not alone. No matter what we’re going through, someone else out there is going through something similar. And music is something that unites us all as a human race, something that allows us to share our experiences in a way that everyone can understand. And sometimes, all someone needs is to feel like they belong, like they’re a part of something. Sometimes, all we need to do to make that happen is to show it. Give a helping hand. Do something to show someone you love how much you value them. Just be kind, show compassion and acceptance. Maybe that random stranger on the street that you do a quick favor for needed that short exchange, maybe you brightened their whole day with that short exchange. If we can all strive to show others how values they are, than maybe it’ll save lives.
Perfectly said. Please accept a virtual hug from an internet stranger 🤗
Also the rev :(
@@atgimm2090 Oh yeah, The Rev as well. I didn’t know he died by suicide, that makes it even more heartbreaking. I still miss him. Absolute drumming legend.
Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell were murdered.
You forgot cliff burton
James is a good ambassador for people who have struggled and overcome. Love to the guy.
Man, it's getting crazy in the metal and rock community, also RIP to the awesome Trevor Strnad :/ and the legends we have lost in recent years, chester, wayne static, etc.
and he died on mental health awareness month of all months ☹
Being a man in this society takes a toll on the soul
@@provisionalhypothesis don't use these guys' tragic suicides to push an issue that isn't even relevant to their cases. how insensitive can you get?
No. It used to be crazy. Now it's woke, and lame, and soft, and tame.
@@TheErsatzMode it's getting crazy as in the countless untimely deaths these musicians succumb to. It's very sad, and that's whats crazy about the metal scene in today's world.
Nothing more metal than showing your human side and your metal brothers supporting you. Props to Mr. Hetfield!
I hope he’s gonna be ok. He’s one of the coolest guys ever in metal history
He feels like a old guy and can't play anymore ? He's the RIFF LORD !!! Glade to see friends Take care of each other. That's what there for. We all have are moments. 🤘
I’m sure he can still play better than most. One of the best rhythm players of all time
Hetfield the GOAT.
Forever one of the greatest guitar players of all time and definitely the greatest metal frontman in the world!
The best frontman of all time.
indeed. the best in a long time. god has blessed us of having someone like him being in the biggest metal band in the world.
WRONG!!! Sorry Ozzy holds that title!!!
And so the comment flood gate opens😂
freddie mercury
Not even close, Ozzy, Steven Tyler, Robert Plant and many many more
You are NOT alone! We’ve got your back! Love you!! ❤
The best rhythm guitarist of all time in my opinion!
This man has been more of a father to me and has been there for me more than my own dad….and he doesn’t even know it. James has touched millions of people. Stay strong legend!
I hear you. James has taught me so much
And that's why we love james❤
I was at this gig, Hetfield's speech was in my city, Belo Horizonte. Everybody felt he was a little bit sad when he said he hadn't been feeling good but when Lars, Kirk and Rob hugged him, I got emotional because it was such a beautiful scene: friends helping a friend and we all know that James Hetfield will never be alone because we, brothers from the Metallica Family, will always wish him the best!
Metallica rules! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Don't fool yourself. None of them are your friends
@@turtleneckferret lol chill
Hometown of Sepultura. Cool!
@@biohazard8295 lol
They do put on a good show, I think them and Megadeth need to do a tour together eventually.
Probably unlikely
@@jonaha.k.ashazam2535 I think at this point dave is over it, but idk if megedeth woulda wanna open for metallica bc metallica definitely isn’t opening for megadeth, possibly a co headline type thing
@@cunningstunt69 it would have to be a massive stadium tour
Megadeth opened for metallica in 1993
@@paulpv7 i’m talking about right now, i didn’t say they never opened for metallica
We can all agree I think that we all love James Hetfield very much ! 💗God bless this man ! YEAHH !!!
I saw Metallica in Buenos aires couple weeks ago, it was killer, they're older yeah, but they gave a show like always did. Like other bands they proved that the love for music is always in the heart. Thank you.
Saw them on this tour too and i couldnt believe it.
Got a post-show sadness episode because nothing will compare to that concert.
i saw Metallica at their 40th anniversary show (also first time seeing them live), and i can’t believe how incredible that show was. after 40 years, you guys are still kicking ass like the old days? the best live performers out there. the best band in the world.
I was there buddy, amazing experience and I'm so grateful with them for coming again to this part of the globe.
I love to hear famous people just being down to earth with their fans, and even more their friends. Metallica’s been through a lot. Cliffs Death, the pyro incident, the “sell out” scandals, and even performing live all around the world even at their age. Whether you like Metallica or not, there is not a shadow of a doubt that they care about who they’re performing for. I hope James is feeling good with himself. I really do. In a way, he’s helped me through a lot with his lyrics. Metallica made me realize how fascinating the world of music is, it opened up so many gates for me. The “Ride the Lightning” album inspired me to pick up playing guitar, and I’ve been playing for almost two years now and I’ve gotten decent at it I would say. It’s a hobby I really enjoy. James really seems like a good guy. I would love to meet him someday.
James Hetfield is one of the most talented and most wonderful human beings I've ever had the pleasure to watch! A fantastic man!
When people do this publicly and are open and honest with fans and band mates and family...it literally changes the world 😎👌👏 I love that James has come that far to openly ask for help and also give it to others 👏 thos is the kinda stuff that breed unity and solidarity in a broken world ♥️🔥👏
Essentially he has been open about it all the time, since the alcohol abuse was his way of dealing with it.. But its good that he is opening up like this. It helps spreading the word.
This is yet another reason why Metallica will always be one of my all time favorite bands. For me and many others, it goes farther than just the music.
Takes a strong man to open up like that! Admirable James!! We love you!
I just hope that James will continue opening up like this to others. He needs to always be reminded that others are there for him. I'd much rather have him be transparent like this than him keeping things a secret and then, all of a sudden, committing suicide or dying from overdose. My god, it would be so horrible waking up someday and just reading news about James' sudden death. Stay strong, James. Your family, band mates and us fans are there for you. Heck, ALL OF US are your family.
No matter how hard the struggle, just express yourself. We've lost too many along the way that didn't.
Its so inspiring to have watched James Hetfield grow into the person he is today. Getting older really sucks. Its confusing feeling(mentally)like you are not as old as you are, while your eyesight is getting worse, aches and pains appear in odd and weird ways and places, and remembering things seem to add to the.....wait what was I saying?
😂 I SO feel ya, man! I'll always be young at heart, but as I'm closer to turning 42 I really feel like wtf happened here? 😑
Every time I get an ache or pain, I start to worry if it's permanent and this will be my new normal...😁 no joke.
@@timharper4246 Yesss! I am definitely at that point in life! 😳
@@timharper4246 What really sucks is I have already had 6 bouts with kidney stones, 3 were mild but the other 3 were HELL! Have had a pulmonary embolism that almost killed me because I was stupid and put off going to the hospital. Mainly because the pain I was feeling I didn't associate with it being that serious! I mean it hurt like hell but I didn't realize blood clots in my left lung would do that! When I got to the ER they told me had I continued to wait thru that night, my family would have found me dead the next morning. That scared the living hell out of me. Now I wear compression stockings and I'm quite self-conscious about it, but I've grown used to it by now. It has been 4 years since that event. I want to grow old and see my girls grow up and get married and have kids of their own, but I don't look forward to whatever other issues will come with age! Such is life, it is what it is. We just have to keep on keepin' on though, am I right? 😎
@@digitalchaos1980 yes you have to take care of yourself. Your loved ones need you. Strength to you. From an older one going through it too.
The birth happened in my town, Curitiba. It was the first time ever that Metallica came. Special night, special moment and Metallica kicked ass. I believe the fact of being here for the first time gave James the "duty feeling" of make it good and this baby gave him a new inspiration. I hope to see then again soon and keep watching then playing around the world and recording new albuns!
Ps. The Kid´s name is Luan Cliff and James called to the family to welcome him to this world.
We need more of this. We need more embracing mental health awareness.
I was there and it was an amazing part of the concert. Later when they played Fade to Black he repeated "You are not alone!"
What an amazing moment, blessed they are! " Metallica birthing section" luv it! 🙏🤘🙏
I like Metallica. We've all said some messed up stuff in past and made a mess of ourselves. Glad to see him happy and bringing it to the show.
I wasn’t in the best mental state when I went to see Metallica back in February, but right before the last part of Fade to Black, James did this whole speech about how we all struggle sometimes and how we are not alone and that really spoke to me. I’m so glad that James has been so open and honest about his struggles because that has made me realize that I really am not alone. 💜 🤘
I was in the first concert in Brazil, the one they did in Porto Alegre.
It was a magical, fierce night. Actually, for me, it was one of the best nights of my life. This is my favorite band, I was about the third row, and I DID CATCH JAMES HETFIELD'S LAST GUITAR PICK! The kne that ended the show, in Sandman!
It was beautiful. I'll never forget this.
And, I hope James, Lars, Kirk, Rob and all the staff will remember this passage here in Brazil as something truly special and truly remarkable. Like... C'mon, a Metallica baby in the second concert? James opening up like the true great man he is... That's special, man!
When I heard that Papa Het cried, my heart broke into a million pieces. I couldn't go to sleep and the only thing that I could think about was James because I felt bad for him. You are not alone James because we Metallica fans and the other members got your back because I count us as a one big family.
To be able to say "that means the world to me" must be such a great moment of friendship
My dad is old, growing up besides him makes me feel safe. He's strong. But seeing him growing older and older like today, he is struggling now. And i hate it to see it because it hurts me and seeing James Hetfield struggling too because of aging is really tough to handle.
I love these guys and Metallica, i'm very sad that due to money issues i couldn't go to see them when they came here in Argentina, but i will always support them and listen to them. They are my favorite band since I was a kid, i'm almost 21 years old. Metallica is just amazing, healing music to me. I wish the best for these guys, and i hope that i will someday see them live for the first time.
James is married to an argentinian.. Your country have beautiful beautiful women. Salud de los Estados Unidos.
@@xviphoenix69 That's cool to hear from someone of another country! i knew that about his wife, and you can actually see in some of the makings of Hardwired videos that he drinks mate, which is a common cultural drink here in my country, it is kinda similar to tea, just so you know :)
@@HeavyRaiden That's awesome my friend 👍
One thing I've always loved about James is his utter respect for his fans.. Never forgets what it's all about
How is crying in front of everyone a sign of respect for his fans?
The life, the struggles, the highs and the lows this man has lived. I hope he gets the help and support he needs. He can’t go on forever and possibly the pressure of having to do the shows and play the old music might be taking its toll. I would respect his decision to slow down, this won’t be a one off and I fear it happens again. Love Metallica and always will but James will need to put himself first what ever that might be.
Will always be THE KING OF RIFFS.
This band has come a long way emotionally. Good for them!
No worries Mr.Hetfield....
Your bandmates will always support you....and ur fans are always there with u and will enjoy each and every moments of urs....😄
Honestly if I just went see this guys who are my favorite band of all time and at a given moment not only James would open up about his insecurities but they'd hug each other like that... Man, I would cry an ocean. This is so beautiful. Also, it means the whole world to see a guy like James being willing to say those things, that is real improvement for a man whose well known for being a colossus of a Metal icon in a very "masculine" way, so to speak. He seems so used to keep things for himself and be all about control instead of reaching other people so he can get help. Sends a beautiful message, I'm very proud of him.
All the best to you James. You’re a legend.
❤️
Your not alone James. Im here for you and i got your back. Love you dude.
To James and the band, you are all amazing! It takes a lot of courage to stand on that a stage and admit any insecurities, for that, he probably helped a lot of people. Showing others his struggles is a vulnerable position to be in, but he did it. You are not alone!!! Metallic, is and will be my absolute favorite band ever! Prayers to all of the members!! You are loved by thousands!!! Keep Rockin Out!!!!
Master of Keeping It Real
I'm a big Metallica fan and I respect what James said!
Rock on James!! I'm an old guy's who can't play anymore.
James has written so many iconic riffs, intros, bridges leads, lyrics and songs he's a brilliant guitarist and vocalist too. Mad love for James hetfield since I was a little kid.
This man is amazing! My biggest influence in music full stop. Love Metallica and always will. have kids of my own and Metallica are the first band I have introduced them to. Keep rockin Brothers! We all have hard times, It's friends and family that keep us going first! Music is also a massive part of what keeps me going. If it wasn't for These guys doing what they do I wouldn't be here right now. Helped me through my bad/hard times! Thank you Metallica!! ❤🤘
WOW he is a humble man he just earn respect from me.
My dad had a massive stroke last year and hasn't been the same, on top of that my wife decided to move to Alabama to be with her best friends husband after she passed away.
Whatever it is, your not alone! We all have problems in our lives and if your depressed speak out!
We love you James. Don’t worry about nothing.
you can only respect james for being so open and honest
I was there. Had the chance to hear his words, and happily understand has an english speaker! James rocks, Metallica rocks, long live heavy metal and all our metal GODS! |m|_
James Hetfield is my hero. Its awesome to show vulnerability like this. Mental health is not a joke and even the strongest amongst us suffer in silence. Its inspiring to see him be so open about this.
Absolutely. Metal is all "Metal!!!!" all the time. The fact that James Hetfield is willing to stand on stage in front thousands of people and be vulnerable, open and willing to share how he feels is awesome. I applaud his courage. Not an easy thing to do. He's always been one of my favorite frontman. Super cool dude.
Love it, it is truly incredible that they're still out there, still touring, sounding as good, if not better than ever, at their age
I don't know of another band that has a better relationship with their fans. It's great to see the support Het has from his bandmates too.
Much love and respect for having the balls to open up like that on stage in front of thousands. At the same time, those thousands are apart of the Metallica family as am I. Been a die hard fan since i was 9 years old whenever the black album came out and never looked back! We love you James, YOU are not alone! And neither are we ❤👊🤙🤘
He is 58 and crushing it.
Well done Mr.Heitfeld. Showing your struggles will help so many people in a similar situation.
I was at the show myself... it was one of the most touchy moments of my life. Goddamn!
James, You Must Know, how much fans adore and support you..all over the world. I love you, you are awesome..🙏
Kudos James for being open and honest. Metallica is more then music Metallica is Family
Everything about Hetfield and his friends is great, can’t wait to see them for the first time on my 18th!
God i feel so bad for james how he is so in his own head about being too old to play. The man is literally a rock legend and if he stopped playing guitar tomorrow he’s still be hailed as one of the greats. WE LOVE YOU JAMES.
This is completely beautiful. Hairs stood up on my arms.....
James is wise ( comes with age) We are One 🤘🏴
That clip was awesome!!
Wow, even though metallica isn’t my favorite band (I’m more of a megadeth girl), this was a beautiful moment and touching. Really nice to see his band mates and the metal community come together so much and James be vulnerable in a setting where the men are expected to be tough all the time (especially from the era metallica formed in).
Had a friend open up to me recently, he started to tear up.
He says sorry, i promised myself i wouldn't cr...(I stopped him right there)
and said
"HEy, I promised myself
i WOULD cry"
Big respect to James Hetfield! It requieres a lot of mental strength, to go out and tell the world, how he feel! Specially for so famous a man like him! 💪
Metallica are such legends! And this just shows that they will always be there for each other, which is what it's all about! Big respect to Grampa James! We love you bro!!!!!
Love rock musicians who show their soft spot
James is the coolest man alive, period
Good man! Takes a good man to reach out or even admit these things! We’re all routing for you James you changed all our lives and mine would be immeasurably much worse without Metallica & their music! Took me on a lifelong journey! Love you papa het!!!!
Not easy being on the road touring the world day after day, night after night.. lack of sleep then anxieties you name it.
James Hetfield is my metal dad, him and Metallica have literally been there all my life and imo he has the most beautiful male voice ever 🤌🏻
James will always be the goat of metal. Even if he doesn’t have the best vocals or the best riffs he’ll always be one of the most metal people to ever walk this earth and you can’t deny that.
nothing but positive love!!! I cant imagine what it's like to be in his shoes
Papa het... please don't give up on life. Your fans are there until eternity. Understanding the life we live is always a struggle makes it easier to deal with knowing in the end we all struggle with this thing called life. Live strong and rock on James!!!! It's a dumb circle we can't get crushed over!!!
To you reading this, if you're going through it, you're not alone, you're loved, you're worthy.
I love james n all entire band members including the past member..grown up with metallica is one of the best thing i had in my life n of course james played in my small country malaysia 8 years ago in 2014 and one of the best moment in my life...keep storng n steady james luv ya
We all love James and metallica I relate so much.
I love Metallica. I also love that they modeled healthy supportive behavior that we should all be engaging in. Don't be afraid to ask for support, and friends, don't be shy with offering support whether it is a hug, a word of affirmation, or anything in between. 🤘🏻 🖤
Beautifully said
I was thereee best concert everrrrrrrrrr love metallica since 1983...my favoritsss
“What would Hetfield do” continues to be the best life advice.
For his age and despite his past issues, he is still in good shape. I still need to see them live.
I respect James for this so much! Takes alot of courage to admit to that especially on such a big stage. Your music has helped me through plenty of tough times.
James hasn't lost any of his right hand, still a beast.
I'll always love these guys.
Keep playin, James. You're surrounded by thousands of friends who've got your back when you're on stage.
