Possibly one of the most remarkable pieces of concert footage I've ever seen. Watching James's pre-show rituals is fascinating. No amount of business gurus or universities or seminars can teach this. This is why Metallica have been on top for nearly forty years. Their music is still relevant. Old songs or new songs... the crowd reaction says it all. And i bet Morricone never got a bigger reaction to his music than from the Metallica faithful.
The pre-show ritual should have been the title of this video. We've all heard For Whom plenty of times and this version didn't do it any different, but the pre-show was cool as hell. The fist bumps with his techs was so cool to see, plus the cigar, mate and sanitizer lol.
I don't see how it's that special. He smokes, drinks, interacts with crowd for 10 seconds, tests guitar, then heads on stage. What is there to really teach by a business guru, university, or seminar?
Watching this, even before they start playing, James seems like a legit cool dude. Here is is getting ready, not backstage, but right out in front of the fans. He stops and starts shaking hands with the fans and having fun with them, but the thing that got me was how cool he was with his guitar tech. Standing there talking with him, looking him right in the eyes and giving him a fist bump which I'm sure they do before every gig, He just seems like a genuine dude.
It's amazing how close they are to a superstar. He's done this probably 1,000 times. The whole thing is pretty mind-blowing they'll be get to see this. Excellent video thank you
Superstar ? What's that ? The fella makes music from which started out as a hobby and ended up paying for a lavish lifestyle. Trust me fella, he still takes a shit and a piss like you and I.
With young fans who keep adding. That's when they see that they have really left their mark on one generation and will do so with another! I’m from that new generation, I’m 27 my dad 56 (an OG fan, because of him I love Metallica and we are going together) 🤘🏻
Non solo quello, ma tutti quelli in cui suonano. Li seguo da quando avevo 13 anni,ora ne ho 54 e secondo me rimangono i migliori assieme a black Sabbath e AC/DC
Metallica is a great band but without their road crew guitar techs drum techs pyro and lighting techs and so on. Let’s raise a glass to thank the Road Crew for the hard work they do to bring these shows to your Hometown.
Excuse me. But he looks like his own imposter. Like a trailer park grandpa you wouldn't let your children play with. His last five years are awful, visually.
@@icepl4net Just compare the pictures. That's not 'trolling' stating plain truth. Metallica became the parody Lars feared to become in SKOM movie. They play with 'the click' live, they use multiple intros, they slow down too much and the can't play their own repertoire anymore. As icing on the cake Het looks more like a Rob Halford fan than like himself. Congrats if you can ignore all that. I saw them too often to be able to.
but really.....Who the fuck cares... You are analyzing and thinking to much... If you hate them so much why are you here ? They are humans like the rest of us. @@Geiermeier
Bin neidisch im positiven Sinne :). Das muss ein Erlebnis sein, dass man nie wieder vergisst und James scheint einfach so down to Earth zu sein, ein ganz normaler Mensch. Klasse.
Bin da anderer Meinung. Ich finde es braucht keine zwei Konzerte. Die Preise sind dementsprechend hoch... Ich weiß ja nicht wie es euch geht, aber in der heutigen Zeit muss man den Cent öfters rumdrehen. Sie haben ein Album rausgebracht, das meiner Meinung nach eines der schlechteren ist. Solche Ticket-preise zu verkaufen und danach erst dieses Album rauszubringen ist einfach purer Größenwahn und zeigt wie sehr Metallica sich auf ihre Fans verlassen kann im negativen Sinne. Ich bin selber ein Fan und habe meine ganz persönliche Verbindung zu Metallica, aber was sie gerade abziehen geht unter keine Kuhhaut. Ich seh z.b in den Videos wie James jetzt immer eine Raucht ( womöglich weil er gerade was neues braucht ) und die Fans in der ersten Reihe zünden mit ihm eine Zigare an. Kann ja jeder tun was er will, aber es zeigt wie sie ihm nachmachen und einfach alles geil finden das Metallica tut. Metallica sollte wieder auf den Boden der Tatsachen kommen und die Fans sollten nicht solche Speichellecker sein wie jetzt gerade.
@@frankbaeuerle2226 Du meinst die 2-3 Leute von den 57000 die eine Zigarre angesteckt bekommen haben? Wer sagt, dass diese Leute nicht schon immer Zigarre geraucht haben? Der Altersschnitt ist bei Metallica Fans eher älter und ich denke die wissen schon was gut und schlecht für sie ist🤷🏼
@@frankbaeuerle2226 Bei dem Album stimm ich dir zu, auch bei den saftigen Preisen aber nicht beim Thema Zigarre. Das sind mMn mündige Erwachsene die das selbst entscheiden. James zwingt denen ja nicht die Ziggi in den Hals.
I am so grateful and lucky that I have live almost my entire life listening to Metallica music. These guys and this band is no doubt one of the greatest! Legends! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are losers. They think they are a boy band. They put the stage in the CENTER. wtf. And hardwired to self destruct is the cheesiest title I’ve ever heard. Their name is Metallica. lol. That alone is goofy. And st anger is the worst album ever.
This band doesn't have a bad song! They all Rock in their own way! This is another one of my favorites! Great drum rhythm! Metallica Rules the hard metal bands!❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸😎✌
My first song, Master of Puppets, I heard back in October 1986 in my friends RX7 cruising back in high school. Blew my mind. Can't believe 38 years later and still listening to them.
I love that he still gets super hyped up for the shows. This man has been doing this precise thing for a generation yet clearly absolutely adores the fans and shows. I wish he could keep rocking until the end of time
I dunno he looks pretty “here we go again “ to me. Keith Richards said he normally doesn’t want to do a show, isn’t wanting to come out, and then gets marginally into it once it starts. Fruciante Hates concerts. Where are you getting all this Joy vibe ? Projection
@@dougcameron6609 I’ve been a fan of theirs for 15 years and have gone to many of their shows. I’ve watched tons of interviews with Hetfield, and briefly met him in 2017 at a show in Atlanta. He’s always amazing. At concerts he’s high energy, emotional, and a great performer. In person he is gracious, kind, and genuine. Not sure where you’re getting this idea of him hating concerts, seems like YOU’RE projecting
You realize that everyone of them is in stage mode as soon as they leave their dressing room, do you? This is already putting on a show. And, yes, you can clearly see that 'Well, I need to look hyped. That' s part of the job'-part. But be happy if it worked on you. It's like children watching a magician. They want to believe, too.
Awesome, so jealous of the lucky people up close with James, a true moment that makes us remember for the rest of our lives. The best Metallica moment I had was being at the first ever Live playing of Spit Out The Bone, the song I wanted to see, the song they had never played and he song that I thought I would never see, and then there it was, like a dream.
ACDC another f****** great band in this world seen them so many times they never disappoint you and guess John without him there is no ACDC rest in peace Bon Scott ACDC is unbelievable live
Ive seen Metallica 6 times..everytime i hear those horns during ACDC is a feeling like none other..its very hard to put into words. My eyes just start watering and my heart rases with happiness and get all the goosebumps and feelings. It very well might be the most mind blowing part of the whole show for me. I cannot wait till next year when they make their way up north to Foxboro!
I think its great they hang out with fans/audience before each show prior to going on that massive stage. They are the biggest metal band of our age and respect to them for doing so good (fyi im 51 years old and a metalhead since age 12 when dio released Last In Line,1984).
I can't even imagine the stress of trying to do your job as a guitar tech while having the audience literally breathing down your neck screaming. Chad can barely even see what's going on with James from where he's standing. I think they will drop this stage design pretty quickly.
I love metallica shows because they never talk politics, right vs left or any other bullshit and just put on a great show and treat all their fans the same. There is a great atmosphere at their shows where a liberals and conservatives can be as one united under the love for the music.
James is as authentic as they come and that's why there is such a hardcore connection between him and all of us. He has been consistent for decades - and can still absolutely crush it on stage - !!!
Ich war bei dem Konzert dabei. Die Jungs liefern einfach ab! Das ist der Unterschied von Metal Bands im Vergleich zu Pop Bands: Pop Stars fahren in abgedunkelten Limousinen in die Venues und wieder raus. Metal Stars haben Kontakt zu ihren Fans 🤘und, meine subjektive Erfahrung, Metal Fans sind die entspanntesten Menschen, denen ich bisher begegnet bin! Keep rockin'
King Hetfield at his coolest and finest moment...everytime i hear those horns during ACDC is a feeling like none other..its very hard to put into words.

(not sure what he says before) @3:49 Hetfield tests the sound. 45 - 50k people can hear that wow @5:03 Hetfield bows to guitar roadie whilst climbing the stage steps [sorry for the hand wipe 'issue'?] My own personal view guitar roadie should have had the hand wipes ready, not a lot to ask really.
The real story of the video. Thanks for getting to the bottom of the big questions. James is a weird dude for sure. You forgot 1:41 spits on the ground
Que inceible banda, es muy grande todo lo que se mueve detras los increibles ingenieros de sonido para que todo este perfecto y suene de lo mejor todo el respaldo detras de ellos
I'm no Metallica-Fan (yet) but I appreciate these minutes before the blast! James is cool and yet under fire (control), has a minute for the fans and no reason to be afraid! Head's up!
Metallica es una leyenda viviente y un gran ejemplo de perseverancia, disciplina y esfuerzo, y bueno, también tuvieron todas las condiciones para adquirir conocimiento y combinarlo con todos los recursos, son admirables...
В мое время (90-е), в нашем городке было несколько субкультур: металлисты, рэперы, скины, кислотники. И вот смотрю на наших кумиров ( в моем случае-это металы). "Оникс" Красовавшийся на балахонах и майках у основной, серой массы, тошнит в местных негритянских амеровских рэпклубах. Скины пришли в чувство и не видать их. Кислотники исчезли, как только появились. И только Металлика рвет мир и собирает стадионы!!!! Рок-н-ролл жив!!! Класика не умирает🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Не они одни собирают стадионы Mötley Crüe , Bon Jovi , AC/DC , Kiss , Rolling Stones , Элис Купер , Deep Purple , Pink Floyd , у Metallica всего 2 хита и не более того которые они поют уже 40 лет в обед по радио заездили эти песни, если приедут в Москву я точно на них не пойду !
amazing to believe we were all 15-16 yrs old with our skateboards and our friends dad's beer probably listening to these guys in cassette over and over and over again, reading magazines, always awaiting the new albums to come out.
This guy look older, but continues to smoke, remind me to the former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger,have a good time, and please don't forget to God, he's give you everything in this planet, maybe here after too, amen 🙏😀
He cleans his hands each time he touches fans. Smart, working at the Hospital really taught me the importance of clean hands. Wash them so damn much lol
Don’t know if we all know or realize that Hetfield actually is one of the greatest musician and entertainer in History. Or actually he might just be THE greatest ✊👍🏻💪❤️
I dig on their stage ! It has the snake pit! And snakes around through the crowd! U can see Lars ‘Robert ‘ and Kirk ! But damn they are all the way over there ! I wonder if Lars has multiple drum kits on stage ?

To be packing out a stadium like that 40 years after the bands inception is unbelievable

Packing the stadium and still bringing it!
Rarified air of artists that can do that. Rolling Stones, Elton John, Billy Joel, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden

@3:16 Hetfield fists personal bodyguard and says 'Have a good show mate'
@ 3:44 Hetfield says to guitar roadie '.....watching me live.' (not sure what he says before)
@3:49 Hetfield tests the sound. 45 - 50k people can hear that wow
@5:03 Hetfield bows to guitar roadie whilst climbing the stage steps [sorry for the hand wipe 'issue'?]
My own personal view guitar roadie should have had the hand wipes ready, not a lot to ask really.
you must have been really bored,lol
The real story of the video. Thanks for getting to the bottom of the big questions. James is a weird dude for sure. You forgot 1:41 spits on the ground
I love this... I've only done a few shows at arena's and this is so accurate... from the check in at the start to the timing
Best band of all time
I love the most when he turns from a simple guy (smoking, having mate) to an ARTIST.
Thanx for filming this awesomeness!! 🏆
You are really lucky was there so close to James. Priceless moments of life!
the most charismatic man alive... LONG LIVE PAPA HET!!!!
Yes, doing what they absolute love, and makin money, big!!!
Haha, James ritual with cigars and mate is just hilarious, how much cooler can it get?
This is absolutely Epic! Seeing Master Het's preshow prep!
Que inceible banda, es muy grande todo lo que se mueve detras los increibles ingenieros de sonido para que todo este perfecto y suene de lo mejor todo el respaldo detras de ellos
I'm no Metallica-Fan (yet) but I appreciate these minutes before the blast! James is cool and yet under fire (control), has a minute for the fans and no reason to be afraid! Head's up!
Metallica es una leyenda viviente y un gran ejemplo de perseverancia, disciplina y esfuerzo, y bueno, también tuvieron todas las condiciones para adquirir conocimiento y combinarlo con todos los recursos, son admirables...
Love the cigars James ! Keep torching the magnificent stoogie !! Smoke em !
this is a great video. I love the security guy with the hat trying to look composed but really hes like 'JAMES FUCKIN HETFIELD NEXT TO ME'
Saw them last fall in St. Louis. They're still amazing after all this time. One hundred percent energy in every song.
I am seeing them for the first time in LA in September I am fucking pumped
Thats cool mate
Never thought of Bellz as an openerer but it makes total sence now that I see this. It gets the audience involved right away.
Thank you to Germany for always showing metal bands of any origin the best time! Incredible hosts.
Kein Problem man
Que grande James tomando mate. Una joya el video.
Only the intro with no music , James and crew doing their staff is even more metal and art than the whole modern music industry
Grande James tomando mate Argentino🔵⚪🔵💪
Look at all the Hamburgers!
To have the love of the audience is everything - magnificent James Hettfield.
В мое время (90-е), в нашем городке было несколько субкультур: металлисты, рэперы, скины, кислотники. И вот смотрю на наших кумиров ( в моем случае-это металы). "Оникс" Красовавшийся на балахонах и майках у основной, серой массы, тошнит в местных негритянских амеровских рэпклубах. Скины пришли в чувство и не видать их. Кислотники исчезли, как только появились. И только Металлика рвет мир и собирает стадионы!!!! Рок-н-ролл жив!!! Класика не умирает🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Не они одни собирают стадионы Mötley Crüe , Bon Jovi , AC/DC , Kiss , Rolling Stones , Элис Купер , Deep Purple , Pink Floyd , у Metallica всего 2 хита и не более того которые они поют уже 40 лет в обед по радио заездили эти песни, если приедут в Москву я точно на них не пойду !

King James still got that crowd in the palm of his hand.... the feels when that Morricone music starts, just wow.
amazing to believe we were all 15-16 yrs old with our skateboards and our friends dad's beer probably listening to these guys in cassette over and over and over again, reading magazines, always awaiting the new albums to come out.
4:25 so much knowledge and experience and he still gets stage fright before the performance ❤
Maybe that's the secret to his lightning-fast downpicking :o
Bullshit stage fright..... He was just playing up to his fans. Nothing wrong with that.
Even ozzy admited he gets stage fright everysingle time he walks on stage.....
Toto video je nádherné. V ten moment je James a my okolo jedna velká rodina. Chlapi, jste úžasní ❤❤❤
This guy look older, but continues to smoke, remind me to the former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger,have a good time, and please don't forget to God, he's give you everything in this planet, maybe here after too, amen 🙏😀
Thank you, great to see James just before stage.
You have the best seats my friend. Cheers!
EL MATE!!!! ♥♥♥♥ VAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOO ARG!
He cleans his hands each time he touches fans.
Smart, working at the Hospital really taught me the importance of clean hands. Wash them so damn much lol
Wasn't Metallica coronas witnesses? Like the Foo Fighters?
well he is from california
Also can you imagine how much money they would lose if he loses his voice from the flu
Thank you for filming this in landscape mode and not vertical mode. Amazing concert it must've been.
Don’t know if we all know or realize that Hetfield actually is one of the greatest musician and entertainer in History. Or actually he might just be THE greatest ✊👍🏻💪❤️
That's the point: he's primarily an entertainer, a huge, talented entertainer.
Give "Greatest" some measurable qualities and I might agree.... Spoiler:you can't it's Subjektive af
2:47 - the hand sanitizer being dispensed by a roadie! 🤣😂 James loves his fans, but not our germs!
I like listening music metal rock of metalica I'm sing a song of they are in caraoke your my everyday 🤘🙏I am .from thailand .
You are welcome.
Thank you for showing this. 👍
i love how James sanitized his hands immediately after high-fiving the crowd and his assistant was right there with it.
Those fans hands were holding something in restrooms a moment before, so sterilization of the palms after them is a must.
getting sick on a tour aint no fun
what a unique approach interacting with fans before setting foot on stage bravo
These guys are awsome
Überragendes Video! James einfach nur cool!😎
He's a General leading the largest army in the world!
Wow. Thanks for sharing.
The security guard near James, you can tell is happy he came into work today
Vielen Dank für's Posten... ich war weiter weg. Das muss ein tolles Erlebnis "da unten" gewesen sein!
Good band, probably make it big one day
I think they have, theve got garage days albums.
Lol
Wow!!!!! Incredible footage at the beginning!!! WOW!!!!!
Awesome back stage pass!
I've seen them live 374 times 104 times back stage they are the GOAT
I dig on their stage ! It has the snake pit! And snakes around through the crowd! U can see Lars ‘Robert ‘ and Kirk ! But damn they are all the way over there ! I wonder if Lars has multiple drum kits on stage ?
He wouldn't know what to do with multiple kits, he can't play the one he has lol!
Are you 12 years old or something? Grow up dude.
Great footage! Thanks from the States
Someone: "You can never mix a cigar with a mate"
James: "OH YEAAAHHHHH??"
