Interview with James Hetfield from Metallica (part 1)

[@vilkaslarsenas]

I would listen to this man for hours. And usually I hate people talking:)

[@danielberma]

Its quite easy actually, James is a person that doesnt like to repeat himself and at the same time humble enough to talk very clear with people not having English as their native language.

[@Desertmouth]

he uses hand gestures alot anyway, hes very intellectual. and you can see this through the darkness and character in all his songs.

[@cmorrow132]

Hetfield is so freagin awsome. You can tell he's a real family man, and he really cares about people. It's amazing the change they have gone through - from the destructive image to deep personable people. Very cool.

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

Gotta love James, i respect him a lot because he has surpassed his troubles, his own stuff, and now he's just in the music.

[@Jimiriffman89]

man this is some down to earth shit from papa het!!!

[@acmcfc]

now i know i'm not the only one using gestures when talking xD and i surely do not agree with the comment bellow me, but as a freak that always moves his hands while talking i say - it's easier to talk that way xD

[@jdogsguitar]

My favorite guitarist and great interviews. I could listen to him talk for hours (or sing, lol)

[@gerrrarrd]

you can see in interviews with james when the audience is non-english speakers, he is more articulate and uses his hands a lot more to be more clear! James is god, one of the best rhythm guitarists ever!

[@G4M3RGU1D3]

oh yeah you're right i'm probably not a true Metallica fan - i've only been in a band tribute to Metallica for 6 years, doing countless shows knowing pretty much all Met songs up to Reload - Knowing the songs intrusmentally cannot let me say my honest opinion about my favorites Met years oh plz will you ever be able to forgive me Master? gtfo

[@eeddssoonn1989]

he speaks slow because of all the drugs and alcohol...thank god he still able to talk

[@yvettehugues]

I've met James and the rest of the boys they are one of the nicest people I've ever met and I'm glad that their from the bay area it's what Cliff wanted them to do move to northern California and their going to stay in the bay area forever they are not going anywhere

[@cmorrow132]

If you think Metallica's best years were the early 90s, then you need to study Metallica's music more - and I mean really study from a musical standpoint. Metallica have been great from 1982 to the present. The music changed, as they did, but they have gotten better with every album. You can't compare, for example, Kill Em All with Load, Reload or Death Magnetic. For that matter, you really can't compare Reload with Death Magnetic directly. In other words, each album stands on its own.

[@bhavnish22]

@bhavnish22 Yeah i know. What i meant was all that he's saying could apply to him as well

[@mannnymanny]

that thing i dont like about metallica is they dont give other bands a chance to be as good as them :) haha....metallica rocks!!!! i love METALLICA!!

[@buoghuoj]

James is good at logical thinking

[@brainiac101693]

ya but who wut rock star didnt do drugs at that time. gene simmons claims he never did drugs but thats hard to believe but it could be true so i cant judge him just like u are judging james

[@Ramo_Baramia]

man i love james, since i saw him for first time, i knew he was my idol. that was way back when i was kid:) i use to have t shirt of him in at the front with explorer shape esp guitar, sadly i can find any more in shops. james is fucking true front man and metallica is my religion:)

[@nederwiet1]

that guy really is passionate about music !! duh he's the best tythm guitarist in the world+ best songwriter

[@cmorrow132]

And with all that said, Metallica are still here, still making records, still selling out shows. That alone speaks for itself.

[@ScarU4life]

James is talking slow and using his hands alot. They have subtitles James.lol

[@bigalkramz]

is hetfield playing an SG at 2:31?

[@eeddssoonn1989]

JAMES IS SO FUCKING COOL... NO HOMO

[@TheFBM2011]

i like 'tallica than slayer slayer is good when you're hyper

[@darkahnubis]

james' hand gestures crack me up sometimes!

[@darkahnubis]

[@bhavnish22]

For the first 30 seconds i thought 'Damn James you could be talking abt yourself right now'...lol

[@nederwiet1]
