Видеоклипы
Jason has always comes off as a perfect fit for the band at this time. He seems like he's been with them for years
He is Lars man, he said it , are ya deaf? (Sarcasm)
And still is/was the best replacement after Cliff as good as Rob is, he doesn't fit the puzzle.
Yeah, except I get the impression the rest of the band found that to be annoying. Jason had been following the band for years so he was a mega fan, and James said they wanted to "un-fan" him. Jason acts like he has band for years, but James. Lars and Kirk have only known him for less than a year at this point, I can imagine how that can be kind of grating.
@@bryansteele832 he proved himself since the moment he walked in the door and nailed the auditions, and brought awesome energy to boot on and off stage. The years-long hazing he endured was a shame, like if ANYONE joined their favourite band they'd be stoked as hell, pretty immature of the guys to hold that against him
Jason was such a solid in the band man, super talented, amazing backing vox. Any time James was too fucked to remember to sing, Jason was there to fill the void. Jason will always be my 2nd fave Metallica member.
I'm not james hetfield and i am lars ulrich lol
i love the intro, it made me audibly smile.
Man i wish i had a time machine and could go back to that times. 😥
Absolutly, go to 1983-1993
Thats crazy just stumbled across this interview. Memories are strong for that Monsters festival. I was 17. Time flies. Great fkn show by Metallica and Jason was an awesome new bass player.
08:02 JH: "We got some interesting riffs from Jason")) Blackened probably
Always nice to hear James being nice to Jason instead of doing the macho BS.
@@bonechip01 Most of the time he was nice to him, dunno how people think James was 99% of the time an ass when Jason himself has defend him. I clarify, he did some bad shit to him, specially turning the face on the AJFA production, but they where close and if you pay attention they did a lost of interviews together
@@bonechip01 was not “macho bs”, he was still grieving over cliff burton’s death - i mean he literally died the year before this interview. It’s like losing your real brother and then having to meet your new step brother.
@@uptilhail3496 please. He had that macho facade before Cliff died and for about 15 years after his death. Quit excusing every bad thing these guys did because of Cliff dying. Btw, they choose Jason. That was 100% their decision.
@@allsystemsgo8678 finally I see someone who thinks that. I very much agree with you. There was no excuse for them to treat Jason so bad, imo.
This is when James’ confidence began to rise and started asserting his presence much more. In the Cliff years, yes he wrote the songs, but he was a very shy person where Lars and Cliff did a lot more of the press. After Cliff passed , James really stepped up his dominance as you could tell by the time Justice came out. That’s just my 2 cents
It changed him alot. I also think they were starting to get songs together for Justice album during this time so he was more focused
Yeah. You can see afterwards Cliff's death had a huge impact on him. It had been a few years but when Justice came out he looked older and sang deeper. He lost a brother and that had to be the hardest thing for him since his mother passed. Actually even Kirk and Lars matured quite a bit from the heartache as well.
@@OnlyJosephSanchez Yeah, or he just got more masculine because he got older😅 The guys were in their twenties when they started. They were just boys and now they are starting to become men🤦♂️
@@XXLRebel True. They were young, but they also had never been through remotely anything like the accident and Cliff's loss. No way that didn't affect their stress and subsequent maturity a bit.
@@OnlyJosephSanchez Yeah, it's not like James' dad left him when he was 13 and his mom died at 16 years old. I'm sure that didn't affect his stress at all...
James is ready to burst into tears after that lady’s first sentence
What did she say?
And few moments later Jason introduced Blackened riff to James. 🤘
"forward progression" And he was right, Justice is the proggiest Metallica album. You could tell Jason was real excited about this new rockstar life he acquired.
Rockstar life for Metallica just came 4 years after that.
@@juanrezende4914 That was the peak. But they've touring and rocking since 1983.
But that was the Masters of Puppets-Tour
@@juanrezende4914 they were already opening arenas at this point. Justice debuted at 6, went double platinum in its first year and they were headlining arenas. That sounds like a rock star to me.
@@MrOctober44 Not so much
Dio playing live while this was happening is the best thing about this interview.
100%
We Rock!!!!
Hetfield looked like the ultimate "80s metal dude"
I am the female James!!!!!!!!! Yessssssss. Hahaha. He is the coolest.
Because he was
i love that
and he was and is
100 %
"Give us a year or 2" Jason knew how determined and motivated the band was after losing Cliff, they were destined to take over Music.
James and Jason - 24 years rock stars :)
Wow a video interview from 87 is rare as fuck! Thank you as always from your favourite Italian fan
jason 🥺💞🥺💞🥺💞
Black black black black number one
Somewhere between 1987 and 1988 James had to of just started going around ripping the heads off lions. He changed so much in such a short span.
Hahahha, I think the facial hair/moustache made the difference. He seemed to change over night didn't he...
@@straycatsanctuary3475 dude went from 25 to 48 overnight
Just imagine if James stuck with this image during the justice and black album era's.
I couldn't imagine how that would work with those songs and his live performances in those respective era's.
JASON FOREVER!!!
That was at the Monsters of Rock 1987 in Nuremberg. With
Deep Purple
Dio
Metallica
Ratt
Cinderella
Helloween
Pretty Maids.
My first Monsters of Rock. The next Day I was in Pforzheim too. But then I only watched the Shows by Dio and Deep Purple
James Hetfield seemed like he was shy for years until the Justice album! Hes a musical genius though! I look at what great lyrics they've had since 1982! Pretty awesome!
Jason was so adorable and a great fit for them
"All the tunes we write go on the album. We don't write 20 songs and pick out the best." How times have changed.
What's so bad about that?
@@XXLRebel I don't think they were implying it was bad per se', just that you can tell how passionate they were, and hungry they were. When they wrote 8 songs, all 8 songs went on the album. When they found mega-success it afforded them almost too much time to overthink everything to death in the studio. Before mega-success they'd basically have the album written and THEN hit the studio.
8 days after release EP Garage Days Re-Revisited. The first work with Jason in the studio
Should’ve kept Jason out. With all do respect and justice for all sounded great with no bass
@@profileone5655 we wouldn't have Blackened without him.
@@profileone5655 you need to hear his vocals live with James
@@profileone5655 sounds better with bass tho lol
@@gerbalnuts69 All the fan-made attempts to make the bass gtr audible e.g. 'And Justice for Jason' miss the mark. They are interesting, noble attempts to be sure - Yet in general the bass guitar is always just a little too loud and / or 'out of place' in the mix.
If anything for more audible bass guitar, the best (despite being quite unpolished overall) are Flemming's own rough mixes.
Holy goooood I needed it with this quality
Dio band playing We Rock in the background. Totally badass!
Great! I never saw this interview before. Great to find an interview from this season of the band. Late '87. 💪💪😎
It's really awesome James's physical transformation between those years.
Thanks for sharing. Haven’t seen this before. 👍
Shes a great bilingual interviewer.
THEY were Legends in Germany in 1987. I got stationed there in January 1987 in the Army. All i saw in Stuttgart was metal fans with demin and leather jackets with patches of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, etc. They loved the heavy stuff. The heavier the better. When i left the USA a month before it was all Poison, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi.
It's interesting how they were into skateboarding back then and all had boards because they definitely had the look for it.
Jason talks about a new album little did he know it would have no Jason on it. that still blows my mind that a band did this to the new guy that was so gung ho and put his entire being into this band. still very cool to see this old video.
Interviewer: This is good interview, jah? James: This is free beer, right?
Boys, it’s that weird transition year between fetus-James & bearded-James
Yeah, he's still a bit cringe but a lot more confident, yet still not that confident as he would be a year later😂
haha that's a perfect way to describe James' debut of his late 80s/early 90s look
Just imagine Metallica performing live in Seattle 1989 and San Diego 1992 but with James more or less sticking with the image he has over here.
Not James & Lars seem like buddies in this.
eman kcin they were and prolly still are
They´ve always been, Fake Lars and real Lars did some bad shit to him too though
The good old days! I miss it.. James and Jason 2 metal beasts.. 🤘🤘🤘
Much Love Jason
every time this video pops in my home I watch the beginning of it, Jason and James making fun of themselves is just priceless
Damn, Jason is so gorgeous.
Finally a better quality
Jase and Het were actually pretty good buddies at times 🙂
They always were. Everyone fanboy tries to make it out as if James constantly bullied him. Yea, he did control him a bit but it's not as if he was bullying him.
They were actually pretty good friends, you can see that there was good chemistry between them, on and off stage
They shared a dressing room for 14 years. I mean, of course they were buddies. They hazed him at first, but they were still all fiercely protective of him. The fact that James drove him out of the band showed how fiercely protective he was of him, to a fault.
Wow this is GOLD
Man I never seen this but James actually looks like he's sad. Kinda messes with you
He’s grieving from cliffs passing probably
He's not sad at this moment in time. He just wants Jason to stfu. Jason always seemed to push it a bit too far in the beginning with interviews and James and the others didn't care too much for it cause he hadn't put in his dues but would always talk like he did. Just listen to him. James is frowning and probably thinking, "I'm gonna get on his ass about this once we're alone. " All while trying to hide it to the public so no one would think he was a dick. Some of you guys have no idea how bad the hazing was for Jason. It was very very brutal.
@@samuellivingston5255 nah, he's pissed at Jason. Can you guess why?????
he clearly does not like doing interviews and answering awkward questions he does not have answers for.
@@samuellivingston5255 oh for God's sake. Does everything they did or said have to do with Cliff?!
Jason... ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great to watch it! I´ve been there and it was really a great concert. I remember that Metalica performed at daylight, that changed a bit.....
JASON I LOVE YOU
I was there at the festival and still recall how James introduced Jason on stage : " Pls welcome our fuckin' new fucker Mr Jason Newstead ! Damn, they nailed it back then ..
Gotta love this transition. James is getting more confidence but at the same time still has some of those uncomfortable teenage quirks😂
You could just feel James' resentment growing and growing and growing
If you say so.
@@MrOctober44 Oh, right, sorry. They never, ever resented Jason...
From Jason not taking a breath in between talking
@@definitiveenergy1878 Well someone had to talk. James shy ass kept finger tapping/playing with his hair and drinking beer.
@@Dirtnap1986 exactly. I can't understand how people overlook that. James was terrible at interviews in the eighties and early nineties.
The golden days of metal
Good old days!
i realize people eventually have to grow up, and i realize james had an alcohol problem to overcome, but i miss the FUN metallica like this!.....chilling having some beers ready to party! .....even their interviews are exciting, just looking at them makes me wanna trash a hotel room, and drink till i pass out listening to motorhead! .....where as now its like a bunch of fishing dads who play instruments!.....i realize natural progression of life, im not blaming them.....im just saying i miss when metallica was fun!
Yep, we all need to get old, it's part of it
If they had now the same lifestyle they had back then, they would be dead
The idea of those interviews was that some members of the group were doing an interview for one TV channel, others - for another.
Nice upload
Que lindos!!! los amo a ambos
James' hand was never stopped during the interview😆
James face at 4:40 though. Mans side eye says how he"s truly feeling.
They were balls deep into writing Justice for All ~
Iconic. And Dio playing we rock, live in the background. Fuk!
I was at that Festival
DIO We Rock in the background
8:40, he was sadly mistaken about this!
Bryce Fox how? He wrote some pretty good riffs throughout the years
Travis Braun three or four GREAT riffs absolutely, but that’s it. Look up his writing credits, just being honest!
@@Brycefox Because Hetfield and Lars didn't let him do more stuff.
@@Brycefox There´s more than writting credits to give to band though, bass tone, bass line style and a lot of stuff more. If we are honest Cliff did not wrotte that much music either but he gave Metallica a lot of tools
well cliff didnt wrote that much of riff either besides bells most of them are harmonies which i like but i dont think cliff came close to blackened main riff
Очень милая приятная беседа , и разница в произношении слов не имеет значения , когда стиль мышления и взгляды - совпадают ! А Рихард Круспе потом так влюбился в их успех у женщин , да и у мужчин тоже , у всех !!!! И очень даже может быть , что позавидовал им ! От пламенной любви вперемешку с испепеляющей завистью и родился знаменитый Рамштейн : кому то кажущийся серьёзным , а мне вот например несколько курьезным . Просто удачной и зрелищной пародией с куражем . Почти все темы позаимствованы у Металлики . Надо быть слепым , чтобы не заметить этого . Вот именно : только слепой не заметит , хорошо изучив их творчество , что там везде , изо всех щелей СКВОЗИТ МЕТАЛЛИКОЙ . Поэтому я для себя СДЕЛАЛА выводы и прекратила ловить , или если хотите , искать для себя что то в их творчестве и ПОЛНОСТЬЮ погрузилась в МЕТАЛЛИКУ . Потому что там ЕСТЬ ЧТО ЛОВИТЬ ! Они как ЗРЕЛОЕ МАРОЧНОЕ ВИНО ОЧЕНЬ ХОРОШЕГО КАЧЕСТВА !
James looked better without facial hair
Just months before ...AJFA was released! 🤘
I was there
Fuck man, looking back at this now as a man in his 40's... this is tough. You always portray a tough facade, but they are going through some real shit, and they're handling it the best way they know how at that age. We all know that deep down they're hurting...BAD. But they soldiered on for better or for worse. Life is a hell of a thing, and they handled it better than almost everyone.
I wonder if they still have those "Metallica " leather jackets they're wearing here? I'd kill for one of those!!!! I remember seeing James in a pic around this same tkme with his on and saw the "Metallica " logo on it and, damn! How effing Kool is that??? Now I see Jason has one too!!! Damnit I want one!!!!! Lol!!
Dio at the back killing it! 🤘🏼😍🤘🏼
what song are they playing?
We rock 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
The german girl Is an Eye candy
thats the same girl that interviewed slayer
Annette Hopfenmüller
She’s gorgeous.
0:08
Ah yes
*M æ t l i c c a*
I was 4 years and 14 days old
Lol, people crack me up! The reason most people people believe Jason fits the puzzle but Rob does not is because most people became fans of Metallica after Cliff's death. Jason in the band just seems natural to most for that reason.
uh, there are alot of diferent reasons...
I wonder if Hetfield remembers this interview
Hit and miss considering they've done hundreds of interviews over the decades.
Apparently Lars can't remember the Metalhammer Fest of 1985 which is one of their best recorded shows.
03:57 james: pffff
I’d give both grapes for James’ Justice tour jacket he’s wearing.
This is 1987 so he’s wearing the Puppets era Damage, Inc. tour jacket.
Wow James and Jason soooooo young here
Almost a year to the day that cliff died
Молоді ще вони сповнені сил і енергії
nice
🔥🤟🏻🔥🤟🏻
Wow
I always wanted to be in a band called Melodica then open for Metallica! How Much more of a Hershey’s worker could you be
4:53: Interview girl: „We look at a video, before we go on fucking, ok?“ James: „Finally.“
Jason Curtis Newsted (Battle Creek, Míchigan; 4 de marzo de 1963) es un músico estadounidense, conocido por haber sido el bajista de la banda de thrash metal Metallica desde 1986 hasta 2001.
Jason🤘
Did anyone notice the music in the background DIO is Playing WE ROCK??
lmao... best metal band ever !
Sabbath, Priest and Maiden are the best.
@@korgond Mmm no, maybe Sabbath but Metallica is better than Priest and Maiden
Annette Hopfenmüller🤘🤘.....wir waren damals in Pforzheim.....Pretty Maids / Helloween / Cinderella / Ratt / Metallica / Dio / Deep Purple......soviel ich noch weiß haben Pretty Maids nicht gespielt ......🤘🤘.....Annette💜💜
Man i wasnt even born that time
James with the Samhain t-shirt.
Is this right before James grew the beard?
Yep

Video!!! Who is it? Metallica! Metallica?
Jason doubt was right, Metallica never released a video till One :D
Jason, deer in the headlights.
He's doing almost all the talking, lol. Not sure why you think that.
Dio doing We Rock in the background
James sideburns lool
Those were greasy
gross. love him
Damn! Hetfield is the man. He is king. He's got virtue and charisma. He's real, doesn't waste time of others and has the skills to fuck the shit out!
He has done so many things right, because he is LEADER. Many try to copy him, but can't never beat the original. NEVER.
I love him. He hasn't changed. True king. He's persona is something special that people follow like a magnet. Hetfield does not talk to gain (useless) attention. He does not need it. He is real! Best. Whole package is dope!!!
He has purpose to give and live with a purpose. Nowdays so many people try to take without giving, but James is the HERO!
I respectfully disagree about doing everything right, he disrespected Jason by being the insecure control freak that he was. I love MetallicA but I can't defend the James that screwed Jason.
Dave Mustaine is the King. Not hetfield.
Mustaine is much more talented as a musician, and has a bad boy character as a rock star.
@@korgond but not as macho a shames LMAO
If I was James Hetfield, I’d be kinda disturbed by that comment. lol
Relax dude, he’s human like all of us, he’s just blessed to be able to express himself as well as he can musically and he’s lucky people got to hear it because talent alone doesn’t win you stages in arenas.
@@korgond What are you even talking about? Mustaine is the better guitarist but "bad boy character" ???
I can see why James grew out the Chops and beard around this time. Beer was giving him a bit of chub
This is 1987. He grew it out of and on in 1988 - 1989, and then permanently in 1990.
@@russkate88 thanks didn't know that bit of history
@@russkate88 gotta say i love "Lion James" era
@@BigboiiTone I would have loved to see his image had he been clean shaven during the Black album era.
I see hair. Just hair
Peak Hetfield here.
Say...................."hi Lars" :P
