Those of us long time Hetfield fans are no stranger to the fact that one of his favorite genres to listen to is old, real country. And truth be known, most real metal fans from generations past are also fans of old country music. Long before it became "pop country".
+Jayhoyt32 Hell yeah. Guys like Waylon, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee was where it all started. Their music was considered outsider music back then. People are so narrow minded today. It's not the music that matters. It's the attitude behind the music and Waylon was definitely an outlaw.
+Larry Baumgardner I've heard that as well. And I'd really love to know simply because I've always considered myself a true fan and I'd like to think I know as much about Het as anyone else (that he wants fans to know anyway) but the truth about that rumor still eludes me.
+Jayhoyt32 This is one good ol boy that gives James one more gold star for that one! My only complaint is I can't buy it...... Your dead on Jay, James has always been a huge country music fan. That's because he knows the secrets of music. All music, would be my guess
Most metal fans would respect old country if they opened up a bit. Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, George Strait, Alan Jackson, etc. At least they all use instruments
+Opticillusion160 A lot of metalheads love country, at least the ones i know. I'm a die-hard metalhead and The Highwaymen are one of my all-time favourite bands
BukaTheNoise I never really checked out his stuff and he has a massive body of work. Which CD captures his best stuff? Sorry if that is a loaded question.
dkyelak That's impossible to answer :-) When i discover new bands/artists i usualycheck their live albums/recordings, that's the best advice i can give you
I used to say that too... But lately Metallica has seemed to have found new life. This performance by James is literally music to the ears, very well done. But Metallica in general seems to have new life in it, never count them out. One of the best bands ever.
That was fantastic! Most Waylon covers are not that good, but James nails this one. You can sense the love and respect James has for Waylon right here.
On the tribute album its lists James as playing each instrument. He literally went into the studio and laid down the tracks himself. Drums, bass, sitar, all of it. An homage no doubt. Waylon is the one who inspired the song "Waste My Hate" while he and James ate lunch in a diner.
This is the reason why James Hetfield is my idol! He can play any genre and do it in a bad ass way! I really want a solo album from Papa Het, it would be awesome!
Just gained a new level of respect for James Hatfield and Metallica I was born and raised in Alabama and I grew up listening to Waylon and watching dukes of hazzard people talk so bad about the south and when I see someone like the front man for only the most badass band ever covering one of Waylons tunes tickles me pink
If you haven't yet, I highly recommend taking in Metallica's Load and Reload albums. There is some real thick, dark, outlaw country blood running under those albums.
Pssst...it's spelled Hetfield...not Hatfield, as in Hatfield and Mccoys, lol!! 😉😂 Just teasing...I agree with everything you said!! 🥰🤘😎 I've loved James Hetfield since '86 and I mean EVERYTHING about him and who he is as a human being and not just the frontman of Metallica!! ❤️🤘❤️ Cheers!!
That is the best cover of a country song ever! James stole the show with his performance IMO. His skills are beyond belief, I have never seen someone sing and play guitar that fast and sound that awesome in my life! I never get tired of watching that performance! I wish James would record that so I can download the it. Please James record that song, your fans loved it and I think you may have even gained some country fans with that cover as well!
Waylon would be proud. As someone who grew up listening to country and evolved into a metal head I still LOVE outlaw country. Waylon was and always will be my favorite country artist
Waste my hate was actually about an encounter James had in a dinner. The two were there together and another guy passed out with sunglasses on. Waste your hate was phrased by Waylon.
Bob also seems like a guy that would say "you will never find a permanent bass player" ... because he wanted to fulfill a wet dream by being "that guy" who finally made it by default.
I just noticed bob rock there on the bass, he is a great man and been with Metallica since the black album and what a great album that is too and bobs influence shines on that album
This is AWESOME! You cant beat this mixing the greatest "outlaw" in history Waylon Jennings with James Hetfield from the greatest band in history!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
James Hetfield covering a Waylon Jennings tune? It doesn't GET any better. It is truly a very cool show of respect. Waylon is my absolute favorite and I like James Hetfield (pre black album Metallica days).
James is awesome,! The ending is a theme from Dukes of Hazard that Waylon wrote, I grow up on Metallica and later in life discovered Waylon Jennings, what a nice thing to see James playing a tribute to a real outlaw :)
James was a fan because his Dad was a fan. The song wasting my hate was inspired by a story that Waylon Jennings told. I read that years ago and one of the metal magazines. It's fascinating. Love this! I remember seeing this on TV when it came out. And I bought the tribute album as well just to have the album version. I play it occasionally. Great stuff! James has the musicality to change any genre of music and turn it into a great metal classic while paying tribute to the original artists.
I am really disappointed with James Hetfield, after the notice that he is a hunter and he decided to narrate "The Hunt", about Bears Hunt. I am in shocked with this horrible attitude. It doesn't matter if he plays or sing very well. This action for me it is unaccepatable. Sad but true!
Hello Ryan! No I am not mad that he hunts. I am really disappointed about him. As I said, I was a really metallica fan, for this reason I had a lot of videos about them here. But now, I show my feelings about it. I won't go anymore to the shows and I won't buy anything more about Metallica. On the other hand, I really like their music, I play guitar and I am a rocker. Independent, after Lars said about "who we are "to say anything about this situacion, I am sure that my opinion about the band now is correct. They don't deserve my respect.Have a nice sunday!
Lise Lira You do realize that he's been a hunter for years, I also believe he speaks about that in SKOM (the movie) when addressing to why he went to treatment for alcohol abuse. Also, you shouldn't mix his qualities and talent as a musician with what he does on his free time for leisure.
LIP3XGunner Hello friend!You are right!Good coment!I didn't know about it, but, even those we discovered it now, I prefer the true! And what means Justice for all - the Metallica Album? Have a nice day for you!
Lise Lira what's wrong with hunting? NOTHING! I'm a hunter I eat what I kill, yes there are assholes out there that just shoot and leave the animals laying and those are NOT hunters! I'm sure when James hunts he eats what he kills
I grew up on the old outlaw country like Waylon Jennings, and also hard rock and metal, Waylon is still one of my favorite artists of all time. Good music is just good music, regardless of it being stuck into different generes, this is a great tribute to Waylon from a great metal artist. I know that Waylon was a lover of all different types of music and I know he had actually met James in person, and he would have loved this.
Brad Paisley and Keith Urban can punish the hell out of a guitar and Vince Gill has a guitar collection like Jay Leno's car collection and he can scorch with all of them.
@Sheepleton I'd love to see Brad or Keith try to play Battery! That's what sets him apart from them is he can play their shit with ease, but no way in hell could either one of them touch that song on guitar, or ever think about playing that riff and singing at the same time! Not even close!
When Hetfield saved modern country from itself. He and Hank III need to conquer that crappy "industry" music. Poppy hip hop now. REinStAtE HaNk!!!!!!!!!
don't you worry there is definitely another outlaw movement coming it's just in the shadows waiting for all out war on Nashville, it's small scale now but as soon as we starting busting those doors down it will all change. hank 3, rowdy Johnson band, Dallas Moore, Cody jinks, those poor bastards, lonesome wyatt, shooter Jennings, whey Jennings, are all a part of it and that's just scratching at the surface. it's coming and it may be sooner than you think. corporate Nashville will fall to the hands of true musicians who let music take its own form and don't let "genre's" define who they are.
I can't wait! Anything I can do to quicken the take-over...just let me know. It would be an amazing sight see Nashville return to its roots...and better still with all of those guys reopening the path for up more interesting singers with some lonesome tales to us all. The soul went right out the winder. No one understands me but Hank....and his Grandson gets my anger:) LOL. Thanks for the boost Rich Hope one day we can run into each other on that grand musical revival...revolution day. lol
Amen sister AMEN! Look forward to it I'm just a small town musician who is starting out if you live in the area of central Arizona you might find me playing somewhere lol.
if you don't live nearby my Dad (I'm 17 lol) uploaded a video of me playing working man blue's with the rowdy Johnson band at a bar called the galloping goose (where Waylon Jennings was discovered).
If Waylon Jennings and James Hetfield were friends, I don't see the big problem here. It's common for people to do covers (especially between friends). You can even buy records such as "Diver Down" by Van Halen that are mostly covers. In "Walk the Line," Johnny Cash gave one of his songs to Roy Orbison. Do the covers always sound like the original? No. They usually have a spin by the group that's covering them. If you'd rather hear Waylon Jennings doing these songs, no one is stopping you. And no one is forcing you to listen to James Hetfield.
Read the story about how Metallica's song "Wasting My Hate" was written. Waylon was a good friend of James and a huge influence on him. I can't see how anyone could have a problem with this cover.
This is not only a cover, but it's an odè to his late friend, Waylon Jennings -the greatest of them all! My greatest inspiration both musically and as an artist. The version is pretty damn cool! Note! Both Metallica and Waylon 'covered' Bob Segers song 'Turn The Page'. All are great versions.
@@stubones just what I was thinking. My dad said he found James Hetfield secretly playing guitar with a country band. Since Jason isn't in the band because of a side project, it wasn't supposed to get out but my dad saw it 😂 said you could barely tell it's James.
James Hetfield was friends with Waylon Jennings and this was from a CMT Outlaws special that aired some time after Waylon's death! His son and wife did a Waylon and Jessie song! Kid Rock was on it along with many country artists! This song was a Waylon Jennings song and the last part is from the original Dukes of Hazzard theme song!
I'm for law and order, the way that it should be This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me Someone called this outlaw in some ol' magazine New York sent a posse down like I ain't ever seen Don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand?

What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man? Maybe this here outlaw bit has done got out of hand We were wrapped up in our music, that's why we never saw The cars pull up, the boys get out and the room fill up with law They come pounding through the back door in the middle of our song Yeah, they got me for possession of something that was gone, long gone Hey, don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand?

Maybe this here outlaw bit has done got out of hand Just a good ol' boy, never meaning no harm Just a good ol' boy, never meaning no harm Just a good ol' boy, never meaning no harm Waylon is just a good ol' boy
People who say Mustaine is a better guitarist than hetfield ok that's fine, clearly hetfield is all around better musician than mustaine.. This is proof!
Sloppy Joe At the fillmore shows for their 30th anniversary and they got all musicians who were part of tallica in composing the songs, and dave came up to do a few songs, well sadly he sounded just like a regular guitarist and didn't bring any megadeth stamp to add to it.......BUT this Jaymz guy is metallica because he brings the monstrous guitar tone, voice and character to wherever he may roam, hence this show!!!!!!!!!
I like either James Hetfield's playing or Dave Mustaine's, but don't measure anyone's musicianship by playing any cover band. In my opinion Mustaine is better than Hetfield nowadays, due to Megadeth's recent albums that are better than Metallica's latest album and songs..
Hetfield shits all over Mustaine when it comes to rhythm guitar, he isn't really a lead guitarist, but when he does play lead they tasty as all hell. Ask any top metal guitarist who has the most solid right hand they all gonna say Hetfield.
That "hahahaha - hell yeah" part used to be one of my ringtones. Literally put my phone close to the speaker of my family's desktop computer, played this specific video, and recorded that one second or two of this song.
WOW!!!!!! Waylon Jennings is like "Yup and there goes that Hetfield boy again" lol. Only James can turn certain songs around lol. He's like Dave Grohl. I want them to team up!
his covers of some songs such as this and turn the page are very respectful to say the least, his own sound but not butchered, very hard to accomplish in my book. My hats off to ya !!!
A guy said he wanted a solo album from james.hell yaeah i want the same.notice the speed he has man.astonishing...really.i m a real metalhead and metallica fan and james kicks as here.

Agree. It is evident in certain songs of theirs like Tuesday's gone, mama said, and low man's lyric.
I used to say that too... But lately Metallica has seemed to have found new life. This performance by James is literally music to the ears, very well done. But Metallica in general seems to have new life in it, never count them out. One of the best bands ever.

This song has a great grove and James nailed it. Classic to see the CMT emblem in the corner. Heaviest thing they've probably ever played.
I love that Bob is back there backing up James. Bob just seems like a cool guy, who really genuinely loves music.

James Hetfield is the greatest musician of all time
I wish he could go one octave higher, then I'd agree with you.

This performance shows why James will forever be my biggest influence on guitar and being just a great frontman in general.
James should do a southern rock side project.
Darth Green Load and ReLoad kinda fit into that category \m/
That would be hypocritical considering he denied Jason the right to a side project which led to Jason leaving the band.
@@stubones just what I was thinking. My dad said he found James Hetfield secretly playing guitar with a country band. Since Jason isn't in the band because of a side project, it wasn't supposed to get out but my dad saw it 😂 said you could barely tell it's James.
Why? 😂
@@Zachmitchell1992 cause his voice lends itself to it
There goes James making me love him more and more than I always have! 🥰🤘🏼
Got to love how the steel guitar fits into Hetfields version nice melding of two styles.
GREAT thanks for this !! whoever post it !!
James Hetfield was friends with Waylon Jennings and this was from a CMT Outlaws special that aired some time after Waylon's death! His son and wife did a Waylon and Jessie song! Kid Rock was on it along with many country artists! This song was a Waylon Jennings song and the last part is from the original Dukes of Hazzard theme song!
Hey🌹all love and how are you doing today?
@@jameshetfield6024 I’m doing well!
I'm for law and order, the way that it should be
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
Someone called this outlaw in some ol' magazine
New York sent a posse down like I ain't ever seen
Don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand?
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man?
Maybe this here outlaw bit has done got out of hand

We were wrapped up in our music, that's why we never saw
The cars pull up, the boys get out and the room fill up with law
They come pounding through the back door in the middle of our song
Yeah, they got me for possession of something that was gone, long gone
Hey, don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand?

Just a good ol' boy, never meaning no harm
Just a good ol' boy, never meaning no harm
Just a good ol' boy, never meaning no harm
Waylon is just a good ol' boy
People who say Mustaine is a better guitarist than hetfield ok that's fine, clearly hetfield is all around better musician than mustaine.. This is proof!
Damn straight!!!
Sloppy Joe Rhythmically, James shits down Mustaines throat!
Sloppy Joe At the fillmore shows for their 30th anniversary and they got all musicians who were part of tallica in composing the songs, and dave came up to do a few songs, well sadly he sounded just like a regular guitarist and didn't bring any megadeth stamp to add to it.......BUT this Jaymz guy is metallica because he brings the monstrous guitar tone, voice and character to wherever he may roam, hence this show!!!!!!!!!
I like either James Hetfield's playing or Dave Mustaine's, but don't measure anyone's musicianship by playing any cover band. In my opinion Mustaine is better than Hetfield nowadays, due to Megadeth's recent albums that are better than Metallica's latest album and songs..
Hetfield shits all over Mustaine when it comes to rhythm guitar, he isn't really a lead guitarist, but when he does play lead they tasty as all hell. Ask any top metal guitarist who has the most solid right hand they all gonna say Hetfield.
How the fuck do I just discover this today lol. awesome!!
NO FREKIN WAY. THE GREAT PAPA HET SINGIN A WAYLON TUNE. OH YAAAAAAAAAY
He rocks this song 💯 I crank the radio till my dog hides under the bed 😂
"Hahaha hell yeah!"
Priceless
(:
this is amazing.i love when he clicks into overdrive after that first verse
He is not playing it because it's a country song he had respect for the toughest country singer of all time Waylon Jennings. James is a fan
Fan and friend.
That "hahahaha - hell yeah" part used to be one of my ringtones. Literally put my phone close to the speaker of my family's desktop computer, played this specific video, and recorded that one second or two of this song.
is that bob rock on bass?
And vocals...
Yes, it is
I was asking myself the same question :D
I thought it was an old woman (lol Bob Rock's wanna-be stardom done got out of hand)
Either bob or an old women from Cali ... oh wait same thing
Omg he still got it you go boy
Hey🌹all love and how are you doing today?
Question: "How would you describe James Hetfield?"
Answer: 2:59
A great performance which is still relevant. I’d really like to see a HQ live one.
WOW!!!!!! Waylon Jennings is like "Yup and there goes that Hetfield boy again" lol. Only James can turn certain songs around lol. He's like Dave Grohl. I want them to team up!
his covers of some songs such as this and turn the page are very respectful to say the least, his own sound but not butchered, very hard to accomplish in my book. My hats off to ya !!!
these guys know good songs
one of the greatest performers of all time!James is a beast on stage.
Hell yeah. Johnny Cash and that whole gang of musicians were the "metal heads" of the 50's and 60's. That F you attitude transcends generations.
What a great tribute to a great icon......its called respect....I love it.
and... Bob Rock is doing the bass thing , AGAIN...
i was wondering if that was him!
Bob Rock is god
Wow I just found this today. Fukn wow 🤟
Mind blown!! Metallica doing Waylon Jennings!! and It's pretty good. Nice!!
Just James
I can watch this endlessly
Nice to hear a song with James and no annoying wah pedal.
Okay, this was awesome, man... James can definitely do country really damn well, I loved this
james sounds really good with a drummer who keeps a regular beat
Yeah and like something 'regular' and predictable and boring are losers like you.
absolutely love it!!!!
Is there any frontman as epic as James Hetfield?
CMT crowd: “what is this primal… feeling…? It’s like I have to run in a circle and bump into my friends”
Holy fuckn shit balls...thats awsome!!!! Whoooooo...they even have a steel guitar lol sweet..most country bands dont even know what one is...
JAMES IS TRUELY AMAZING!! I LOVE THIS SONG AND VIDEO!!
Hey🌹all love and how are you doing today?
where can i download this? it's amazing...
freakin amazing !!
3:00 James is so happy. He should play more often with real drummers
🐑🐑🐑🐑
