I met James once at the Kauppatori in Helsinki, just by accident, at the fish market in 2018. I said, "Excuse me," and he was kinda like worried I was gonna going to geek out or something but I just said, "Hey. Thank you so much, man, for everything." He was suddenly all warm and excited and grabbed my hand exclaimed really loudly, "Hey, thank YOU, man!" with a big smile across his face. I saluted and walked away. He's a genuine dude.

That's great. Most would geek out and what we really mean is thank you. He's helped so many people he'll never understand how much. What you said to him is the best

I got a pick from James in 1992 at Arrowhead stadium in Kansas City. It was the Guns N Roses / Metallica tour. It was August and 103 degrees that day and we were DYING! I was 20 and was front row center, in the pit against the rail ALL DAY. He didn’t play guitar the whole concert as he had been injured (from the explosion as stated in the video) and he had bandages on his arms. Well they left the stage and we all knew they were gonna do an encore cause they didn’t play “Enter Sandman” which was #1 on the radio at the time. So the whole stadium (70,000 fans) started stomping and chanting “Sandman! Sandman! Sandman!”… and out comes the band playing Sandman with James playing guitar for the first time in a month!! The crowd went crazy! When they finished they said goodnight and Lars came out and started throwing his drum sticks and James had like 10 green picks on the neck of his guitar and he started throwing them into the crowd. All I wanted was to get one to take home to my younger brother who was only 16 and my dad wouldn’t let him go. I put my hands together in a prayer 🙏 stance and made eye contact with James and begged please!!?? He leaned down and handed it to his security (a guy who had helped me throughout the concert cause I was 100lbs and these big guys kept pushing up against me and crushing me against the rail). Once the security guy got it in his hand he turned to give it to me and one of those big guys leaned over me crushing me AGAIN into the rail, this time breaking my 2nd rib. (I had a hairline fracture). He was able to snatch the pick out of his hand!! I screamed out in pain and felt vomit coming up cause the pain was so bad. I told security “I think that guy just broke my rib!” By the time they could look for him he had split. I was crying cause he stole MY PICK! Security took me over the rail to get medical attention and James saw all of this and leaned down to talk to the security guard..then he reached in his pocket and pulled out an all black pick with METALLICA written on it in gold lettering! I put it in my pocket so fast cause I knew this one was special and said “This is for my little brother who couldn’t be here, thank you!!” I met up with my friends and they took me to the ER which X-rays showed it WAS a broken rib. I had a hell of a story to tell my brother when I got home back in St Louis. This is honestly one of the best experiences of my life. That whole day was. My brother was so happy! He took the pick to have it looked at because he thought the gold lettering was real gold. Well… it WAS! In fact the guy who looked at it offered my brother $50 for it on the spot! 😮 In 1992 that was a lot of money to a 16 yr old kid! He said “I can’t.. my sister went thru a lot to get this for me.. she would KILL ME!” lol He has it framed to this day in his office and 3 weeks ago I flew back home to St Louis to finally take my brother to see Metallica for his 48th birthday.. BOTH NIGHTS, and it was AMAZING! ❤

That was such a real and raw moment. Yeah Metallica has gotten more in touch emotionally in their wiser years, even going back 20 years during the awkward and rough "Monster" era, but they're a sort of macho metal band not known for a lot of banter between songs, especially nothing so vulnerable. They run a pretty tight, well organized live show. For Hetfield to do that during a gig, you know there was real heaviness going on. It's hard not to feel moved when watching it.

Metallica is the reason I started learning to play the guitar in 1999 during my senior year of high school. I started on Bass because a former friend suggested it (the truth is that he had a massive ego about being the sole guitarist), but I felt a stronger connection to James's rhythm style. I changed up to guitar and had a huge falling out with my friend. I've never had a lesson in my life (which I regret, but I didn't think my parents would go along with it), and taught myself to play. "So What?" was my practice routine for mastering the art of blinding fast down-picking.

Fact. JH does not "hate" the music on the Load/ReLoad records. He has been on the record saying when performing "Bleeding Me" and "The Outlaw Torn", he must apologize to the fans, because he's so into those two songs, he forgets about everything else around him. Read them lyrics. Also, "Fuel" and "The Memory Remains" are two of some of Het's favorite Met songs to play live. Still waiting for "Where The Wild Things Are", boys!

Said this as soon as I saw that one. There may have been aspects of Load and ReLoad that Hetfield didn't care for, like the pictures and the cover art, just the general attitude, but he wrote the goddamned music. Sure, there may be a few specific songs that he sees as filler, but i think overall, he's fine with the musical content of those albums. And yeah, "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Fixxxer" are the two best tracks on ReLoad. "Bleeding Me" and "Outlaw Torn" for Load.

I went to see their performance back in the early 90s in my country when they're world touring with my uncles. I was still in the 4th grade in elementary school back then. In '95, I got my hand on the first guitar in the 2nd grade of junior high, and there was Enter Sandman in me. Eventually, I became a bass player by accident because the rest of people wants to become guitarists. During my high school days ('97-2000), I became the one man bassist for lots of bands in my school itself while also having a band of my own outside. I kept on playing bass and earning money from music until 2005, and I completely left the band in 2008. But music is still in me, and so is Metallica. I'd still been jamming with the boys until now. Our spirit is young, but our fingers are accustomed to laptop keyboards now. Guys, for better or worse, you don't know how much you have reached and perhaps helped people out there throughout your entire career, even maybe saving lives. Salute! \m/ 🙌

James, Papa Het, I know you're not gonna read this, and I know I am gonna look corny AF but I don't care. James, have done so much for MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of kids, you are definitely not alone. If I didn't discover Metallica when I was a kid, I would probably be in jail or something worse. Metallica was life and life was Metallica. We ALL LOVE you James and that means we would all do whatever we need to do to make you feel like the KING that you are brother.

@@shamicentertainment1262his voice hasn’t sounded good since the Justice album. There are many bands and vocalists that didn’t start singing like a cunt who didn’t “ruin” their voice. Tom from Slayer and Max from Sepultura both come to mind. Metallica and their “Meat Riders” have so many excuses for why they sold out and none of them hold water.

It's so stupid how some people can be so critical of hair like not letting James on the football team with longer hair, but I guess it was a blessing in disguise, since he is now apart of one of the biggest metal bands ever, if not the biggest. If I had a "treatable" form of cancer but the only way to solve it was chemo, I'd rather die. I'm not going to suffer even more. I believe doctors have good intentions and they have done good for the world for the most part, but I do NOT want any involvement with the pharmaceutical industry or any toxic cancer treatment if I ever had it. Wtf? Teachers slapping hands to correct ways of holding a pencil? Who the hell did they think they were? There's no one way to hold it. What right does band management have of banning James from doing something? It's his and the other band members' band.
@yourmetalsister295810 ай бұрын
Teachers slapping hands/rapping knuckles was what they did back in the day and God help anyone who was left handed. They'd try all sorts of things to make you right handed. And band management have every right to ban a musician from undertaking what can be viewed as a dangerous activity. It's quite common. Bands will be under contract to play shows/tours and it can cause all sorts of problems if they have to cancel. Plus that accident could have ended James ability to play guitar. Luckily it didn't.

The main reason why Dave Mustaine was let go from the band was not the dog, it was his drinking (oddly enough it would turn into a hypocritical move), and no they are not trashing each other anymore, they've actually buried the hatchet in a way and have shared the stage numerous times together in later years.
