What a gentleman James is
True rock legend. A dying breed. Sadly.
I would be too if I were a multi Gazillionaire
@@jamesandrews3583 probably not🤔
@@Boktallica1 lmao, yeah, you're probably right
🤣
Hope this guy does a bigger interview with James in the future. You see James enjoyed it and the interviewer showed a lot of respect.
Exactly. It was the best interview with James Hetfield I have ever watched. Probably i would ask him similar things and that's great! I haven't seen anybody asking James these questions. The interviewer is surely a big Metallica fan.
indeed. the guy needs more credit for doing a fantastic job for both james and fans
Must be hard having to answer the same old questions all the time.
All i hear is sucking up. Maybe that works though.
@@fredriksvard2603 it's not 60 minutes.
With so much popular garbage being played on the airwaves, I'm so glad Metallica is still around after over 40 years to show them how it's done. No lip syncing, no half-naked back up singers/dancers, no sampling or autotune. Just pure, raw musical talent.
Here here! Sadly it seems the trend is away from actual musical instruments in favor of software generating the sounds of different instruments. I feel like my dad when I tell my kids that they don't know what real music is these days. 😂
Speaking of raw talent the anchor should have asked James what is his secret of down picking guitar that fast well into his 60s. That's a secret we all want to know.
Yeah I'm not the biggest fan of Metallica's new album, but it's still a million times better than the other garbage on the radio.
@@johngeiger3770Years and years of practice!
@@rodbelding9523 See I actually thought it was great, I just think the singles were the best of it (Chasing Light being the exception, that's my favorite track).
James' anger and introvert personality has brough us some timeless music in the past, but man it's nice to see him like this! He seems so happy nowadays! Personally I don't dig the new music as much as much as the old, but it's still better than many other metal bands. And they have absolutely NOTHING left to proove.
I feel the same way, maybe cause we're old. I bet the young kids dig it.
@@ItsAllAboutGuitar not really, I'm 17 and I still think the first few albums are gems. The new stuff doesn't get to me like that though
Man, it's so nice to see James doing more stuff like this. Seems like the man is having a good time now. 👌🏼
That's what happens when you sober up. Dude is more confident now and less angry. Healthier.
@@eltravos99 YES! I'm very happy to see him doing better in that regard. Wish my musician big sister would get a clue. It's been years now she's been struggling with alcoholism.
This was probably my favorite interview by a Metallica member. It was so light and wholesome. Glad to see both James and the interviewer smile and laugh.
Hetfield inspires both through his musicianship and by his true character!🤟
Ask Jason!?
Metallica is the first band that opened my world up to heavy music. One of the biggest influences for me as a musician growing up.
same here man
Rubbish. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest before them.
That’s undeniable the case 😅🤘
Same. 8th grade for me. Nearly 30 years ago
@@belessretarded4770maiden and priest over metallica 😂 Sabbath obviously because they started metal
Fantastic seeing James do an interview on his own. In the early days he let Cliff lead the conversation probably out of respect. Then, Lars did the talking for decades, well, because he can’t stop talking. Grown up with the band and it’s beautiful to see James happy, confident, and sober.
James has evolved over the years, as his music has. Such an awesome band.
this interview is a pure christmas gift for all those die hard metallica fans around
You can tell he’s a true fan. Not just another sterile suit interview. 🤘🤘 solid interview!
Yeah when he talked about the solo in NEM I knew he was a fan
The world is a much better place with Metallica in it.
That was a great little interview. You could tell he knew the music and who he was interviewing.
such a great interview, James is funny well mannered and the interviewer, did his research and asked some very clever, funny and thought provoking questions. Loving this version of Hetfield !!
It helps when the interviewer is also a fan.
This Metallica guy has potential
This was such an amazing interview! So happy to see a fan interview James. He seemed so relaxed and enjoyed himself and your questions.
One of the best interviews with James. He sounds happy and sharp.
James is absolutely a legend, Metallica are the biggest band ever!!!
One of the best American bands! Hetfield rules...
Nope one of the most overrated
@@jamesevans6335 keep crying
@@jamesevans6335 hm jealous 😂😂
@@jamesevans6335 If someone is overrated in this band, that is definitely not James lmao Lars as a drummer for live shows is a better candidate.
@@jamesevans6335 There first 4 albums are amongst the best albums in metal and you may discredit them because of your personal opinion but they have probably influenced about 90% of every band you do like and have shaped what metal has become, even if they have been somewhat inconsistent after the black album and and justice for all
Great interview bud, love the respect given to our man the mighty Hetfield
Metallica didn't invent thrash but they are by far the most instrumental and influential in its development and exposure to the world.
Urmmm sorry buddy but if I may correct you there....influential maybe...but instrumental...well that tag belongs to Megadeth by a country mile
@@vks4917 They’re both instrumental to thrash 😒
@@vks4917 Megadeth’s debut was two years after Metallica & Slayer.
They were all instrumental.
@@vks4917 Megadeth is just generic Metallica. Metallica made Thrash.
@@redrick8900 Metallica made thrash...not sure I agree...if they did don't forget it was thanks in large to DM who donthis day receives royalties for his contributions to Metallica....8f you are correct that Metallica made thrash then its fair to say Megadeth perfected it 😉
Great interview!!! As a true Metallica this makes me feel good!!! James Hetfield is my hero!
Papa Hetfield. Happy he is still around.
Very awesome! James specifically (and primarily), along with Scott Ian (Anthrax), Kerry King/Jeff Hanneman (Slayer) and Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) were my guitar teachers growing up. Metallica being the main focus. I love where they are at now at this point in their career. Thank you for doing such a thoughtful and cool interview!
I always liked James. He still sounds great at his age.
What an Awesome guy!
Great job! This was a very neat little interview and obviously sincere on both sides.
That was amazing and very enjoyable interview. Very good work. James is alson in amazing condition.
Great interview, felt like they were both very happy to be there
Every body Loves James 🖤
Great interview! Can tell the interviewer is a fan and James really seemed to be enjoying himself.
This interview was very well conducted, as well as fun!
James has become so chill over the years, great interview. Thrash is a sub-genre of the genre Heavy Metal
Excellent interview…bravo 👏🏼…fun and original questions
Incredible interview. Relaxed and fun
This was a great interview! Lots of fun.
Great interviewer! Good job.
You can tell this guy is enjoying every second of it! If interviewers were always interviewing their idols it would be so much more comfortable for everyone
Loved this interview! 🙌
Such a pleasure to watch a entertaining interview
Man , it’s so great to see James enjoying life again . I could listen to him speak for days . YEAHHH !!🤘🤘
Brilliance! Awesome interview……. Bravo 👏
Great interview.
Metallica are part of our lives. Like our mothers and dads and brothers and sisters. We grew up feeding our soulsl with their music.
Honestly, I'm impressed with these comments. Kudos to you guys
Great interview with a legend of metal.🤘🏿🤘🏿
James is always cool interview, great laugh and just very chill.
That was a great interview I must say.
Great interview 🤟🏻
Great interview!
I absolutely love that Mr. Hetfield is wearing a Country-Western shirt. Thrash on!!
They did put out a sneezing album. It was St Anger. 😂 I’m glad they are back to form.
Great interview love the new CD
I'm 47. I grew up listening to Metallica. First concert. Thank you
Awesome interview.
What a great interview 👏
Am really surprised he didn't ask James if there are plans to bring there world Tour to Australia.
What a great interview
great interview! 👍
❤The heart so beautiful ,and the feeling he brings just overwhelmes me !! Thank yous,for being in my life!😊❤
Hello, I really appreciate the love and support I get from you all my lovely fans
I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤
really fun interview
I’ll never forget the first time I heard Metallica, nothing compared to them on the Radio then. Nothing comes close to them now. I’ll always cherish how Raw and Pure their Music is, I don’t think there is enough space on these comments to talk about their Music and Talent. I’d have to write a book on just their music and talent. Also, I admire how respectful, and how genuine people they all are.
Great interviewer!! This guy is made to interview bands!
What a humble kind dude!
He brings up the year that they played Antarctica, but skips the part where that’s the last time they were here. Would’ve liked to have had even slightly discussed.
Maybe he didnt wanna upset aussie fans and hes going through his issues But also james and the boys know they need to come back
@@nickfallaw7795They won’t be back. I’ve a fair feeling we’ve seen the last of Metallica in Australia
@@caelmcleish1212 How come
@@nickfallaw7795 A lot of bands don’t anymore, post COVID it just costs too much. A laughable statement when it comes to Metallica, but a valid concern nonetheless. The importance to get here just doesn’t seem to be there, so I have a feeling it just isn’t on the cards.
Great interview
As an aussie homie is an Og and he is so kind such a great interviewer for James leaving a positive Aussie memory in his brain!
Nice interview.
James looks so happy and that makes me happy 🥹❤️
Papa looks good. Excited for the new tracks.
Great, genuine interviewer.
gotta love james, such an amazing person
A TRUE LEGEND! SUCH A AWESOME GENTLEMAN AND STILL REIGNS AS THE ALMIGHTY HETFIELD!🎼🎸🤘💯🤜🤛🙏😎👊
Their new album is 🔥🔥🔥
This was actually a great interview and the reason why I clicked it was because you asked something about a topic that isn’t discussed as much with Metallica: they invented a genre of music. A whole genre. And the rest that followed was great!
They didn't, Metal had already been around for years
@@redeyeknight1660 thrash metal dummy
@@redeyeknight1660 they were talking thrash specifically. Metallica was one of the pioneers and certainly the most successful.
@@redeyeknight1660 Metal isn't a genre either. Rock and Roll is the genre.
Don't like The Project but great interview with James... him and Kirk are in my top 5 greatest musical influences of ALL time.
Great to see James back on form after soon long..Good interview....I just can't help but think....where would this band be if they just had a decent drummer
7 minutes and 7 seconds of my heart melting ladies and gentleman
This hit me in the feels for some reason 5:00
Naturally, it's quite a sincere reason to do something; Love.
He could be your friendly neighbor or the guy next to you at the bar. Such a humble and honest down to earth man.
But still shredding the stage and your speakers!🤘🤘
🥰🇳🇱
Good to see James having fun
i love James glad i found this interview
What a guy, and what a fantastic album. They’ve smashed it out of the park with this one, I rank it fourth out of all their works
God, I could keep listening to James talk.
Man he is such a NICE guy
James is so charming 🥺
Kirk's so not a show off, I find him extremely humble...They all are humble family men...Great example to wild men out there...Somewhere (dancing) for men to put their anger instead of violence that causes harm to humans...❤❤❤❤
Metallica is iconic and was a huge part of my childhood and teen years. As I grew to different genres of metal, I found they never quite did much for me and felt pretty tame in comparison. It's why they still end up on the likes of Jimmy Fallon. My hope is people who enjoy heavy music like Metallica but have never branched out to explore more, to do so. If you have no aversion to heavy vocals but enjoy singing as well, with heavy riffs but melodic ones as well, check out Invent Animate. "False Meridian", "Cloud Cascade", and "Without a Whisper" are some of my favs. Hope someone sees this and discovers a new band!
Ty. Metallica is like the gateway to metal but it shouldn't end there
I love him so much!!❤
If i was to think of one line that instantly comes to my head when i think Metallica is ... heeey heey heya .. here i go now ..cos ive be spontaneously muttering it since i was a kid ! Even as i write this song it plays in my head!
Completely missed the opportunity to ask about when is the next Australian tour
what a good interview? 👏🏻
James is younger than 5 years ago.
Bloody penguin bones sounds like something from At the Mountains of Madness
So great to see James so fit and healthy and looking good!
Love James and Metallica as well
James is looking great.
James is a cool a.. dude. Love you James like a blood brother
6:37 how can you not? Even I watch Hetfield with dreamy eyes
