1-on-1 with Metallica's James Hetfield on music and life

[@clevelandbrown5709]

Hetfield 1985: Hey you fuckin fucks! Hetfield 2016: Gosh!

[@georgemarko8403]

Cleveland Brown He is METAL GOSH! ;)

[@oswdrummer]

Hahaha.. That's right!! It is called grow up.. :-)

[@triippy...6476]

Cleveland Brown ever see that clip of them play AJFA? The beginning is hilarious lol

[@joelpocalips]

Cleveland Brown grandma-tellica

[@eazye519]

Cleveland Brown why do people expect these guys to act the same way they did as teenagers? it's called growing up and acting like a man not a punk. try it sometime

[@rylansargent8638]

Great interviewer. She was very relaxed and asked clear interesting questions and James seemed comfortable too. Best kind of interview right there

[@dkyelak]

She is one of the best I have seen in a while. And just the right amount of star struck without being annoying.

[@sereneburrito0476]

Rylan Sargent who tf cares

[@rylansargent8638]

Ecr Tv Idk man I usually don't give a fuck about the interveiwer especially if they are interviewing James Hetfield. But it just jumped out at me and I felt like I should acknowledge that.

[@Maghanashi]

Give and take, and she asked questions fans would be interested in, not things everyone would find mildly appealing.

[@temite80]

Agree!

[@coltallic3114]

He's such a big inspiration for me. He's a fucking legend. Incredible that he wrote that many amazing songs.

[@jebkush1052]

He's the greatest songwriter ever. Bar none.

[@sannygirl2648]

Mr. Hetfield is a fucking legend. Influencing other people's lives for the better since '81. So much respect for him.

[@osc9988]

sanny girl26 in what way?

[@CR-oo3cm]

If you have to ask, you will never know!

[@LostinaMemory]

This man has been a father figure for me and I feel like I owe my music "career" to him. Such an inspiration we saw him go from a reckless punk kid to a pissed off man to an almost broken man to the old yet energetic grounded wise man that he is now. My respects for Mr. Hetfield

[@killerjoe3025]

Lost in a Memory your full of shit are you famous you sukker

[@geekrockrats]

Well said

[@GodZenth]

What career ?

[@wilthomas]

James gets cooler and cooler as the years go by.

[@Epiidevvy]

tommylehman yeah I prefer this James as a person than the James of the 80s and 90s

[@TheRockpelle]

Memu 80’s James to today’s James are 2 totally different persons though, it’s probably because he has a wife,kids and grandkids and being 30 years older

[@rileythompson5127]

89 was gud

[@kst9839]

@@TheRockpelle i had no idea he has grandkids

[@saatmohd9482]

Absolutely

[@Simonize41]

He'll always be the best frontman in Metal to me. I've had the honour of meeting him a coupla times; the first time was back in '86 in London, and as much as he's chilled somewhat, he's still the same as he was back then - honest, sincere and just a pleasure to talk to. And he's what keeps Metallica together. They'd be finished without him. Yeah, top guy! 🤘🏻😎

[@0987slipknot]

This guy is so grounded, it's like he doesn't realize he is in the biggest band in the world

[@triippy...6476]

Diego Martinez Sanna hes just not a fame spoiled scumbag

[@d36class]

Diego Martinez Sanna because of what happened during the black album, they were bigger in their heads then they should of been

[@stevenshewfelt888]

rumor has it they all hold stock in the alcohol brands they drank since 83...lol

[@ickdon7999]

Getting older will do that to ya

[@1977moonchild1]

He's not in the biggest band in the world. Iron Maiden are the biggest and best band in the world!!

[@amandakohler8810]

God his voice just resonates in my chest and I have had a crush on him since I was a teenager. I LOVE him!!

[@starwars15500]

James seems like he legitimately enjoyed this interview.

[@drlaban2024]

Probably becuse the pretty girl. ;)

[@Novaheart1998]

that and she was charming and didn't ask the same old questions.

[@kevincosgrove948]

Yea def. the interviewer is asking good questions too

James Hetfield is such a down to earth guy. Love him!

[@stinkybojangles4128]

Emanuil Valkov They really have humbled since the 90's

[@MastaDRD]

He's a big fan of doing the local, local stuff.

[@realitygutter9694]

Because he is a quite smart person and true to himself no matter what. Acting and talking like a rock star would've been pretentious for him. Don't forget he grew up as a musician in an era when bands like Poison had this poser attitude and MetallicA has always been on the opposite side of that.

[@joelgoodwin811]

@@realitygutter9694 this is true

[@kranwa15]

I love when James talks about his wife and kids keeping him grounded.

[@billynothnagel8850]

James is awesome. Great interview.... So relaxed ..very good questions..loved how clear she was ... What a great job❤️. Josie

[@themusic6808]

James is the coolest. You'd never know the guy has been playing to sold out stadiums around the world for over 30 years, that his songs have inspired a entire generation of people or that he's likely worth some odd millions of dollars. Great guy.

[@amjedjabari1929]

metallica guys are such good people.

[@insparks782]

Lol while James is starting to show his age, when he laughs and smiles, the look on his face is still the same as when he was like 22 or 23. When he does that I just imagine him in 1984, long hair, goofing off. He's still a big kid inside.

[@panossamaras9160]

He seems so calm and grounded. When the journalist tells him: "Thanks James it's an honor" he just goes "Ohhh...I appreciate it, thanks" and handshakes. Such a simple word and move, but shows how cool this guy is.

[@MastaDRD]

So who's here from Magic Mike's video?

[@Guitarmaster7272]

I AM

[@Larxtine]

He is like fine wine! Ugh so handsome

[@ROOKTABULA]

torturaxlc Ironic they talk about how sad it is that fame worship warps people's brains wrt Moth and then you comment that he's handsome. Jaymz would laugh his ass off. You wouldn't give him a 2nd look if he was pumping gas.

[@MJ-ss1ey]

ROOKTABULA he's handsome mature man. And he's fun to listen to. Rich or not I'd still look at him ... a second look :)

[@kevincosgrove948]

Im 45 and just like this but no one ever says im handsome.

I saw James in a Staples in San Rafael once buying post-it's. It was cool.

J Stone I was around, grew up in the 80's/90's. That Hetfield looked cool but he was emotionally unhealthy as hell and a total alcoholic. I kind of prefer the grown up as a human being.
