[@LadyLaugh34]

I don't care how old he is today, he's the sexiest man alive!!!

[@metalforlife9141]

[@breannam3451]

[@piubella27]

Indeed!

[@MrBibbityBop]

2:30 Genius idea. You're own personal Hetfield yeah for the rest of your life.

[@Stinkydo0d]

+MrBibbityBop I'd be angry if I lost that phone.

[@ronswanson8141]

Not personal anymore cause we've all just recorded it off this vid. Boom

[@ahmadishmal1791]

Ron Swanson outstanding move

[@Niek67]

I thought it was an obnoxious thing to ask

[@acidangelster]

2:29 is the reason why James is my hero and My Idol.He s just a great Human.God bless his soul.

[@rosiewhitfield123]

Yeah his just so unreal in my eyes, too 💪💖

[@DM-yi1ur]

5:30 James Praying before they start is just a Powerful moment.

[@Danny-si2ny]

Thats not a table LOL

[@Antonypancake]

6:42 HIT THE LIGHTS!!!

[@lkzprd]

i really admire kirk, he never lets the guitar down from his hand even before the concert

[@user-iq2oq8ol6z]

7:04 so precious

[@a-lonley-box3657]

HAHA- this.

[@jaypellch]

James is mad cool. I met him in 1997 and 2003, both times he was a great guy, and very funny in 1997. He kicks ass everytime on stage!

[@Iamphenomenalaj]

Lmao!!! James is hilarious xDDD Lars: "Where are the menus?" James : "I got them all here, I'm making a new setlist". LOL.

[@SoulReaperSlayer19]

I like him when he had long hair

[@ivana3567]

I like him both,he just looks awesome anyways! :3

[@christoffergrahm4987]

He looks like the dude from scooby doo

[@ivana3567]

Christoffer its good I saw your comment just now, or back then I could never unsee what you said... XD

[@christoffergrahm4987]

XD

[@juanantoniocarmonacamacho3344]

Nos his hair is grown

[@LukeJF89]

1:54 James playing "No Leaf Clover" on drums.

[@MegaJani]

Love how Lars is the second best drummer in his own band lmao

[@rosiewhitfield123]

I quite enjoyed another a day in the life video of James Hetfield. Never a dull moment in this one, as like the other I viewed previously. James is just so unreal. His laugh is so infectious. His the reason why I discovered who Metallica were. I saw him first and as the saying goes the rest is history \m/

[@DerpyTheShreddingProto]

I'd love to see James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett go head to head in a guitar battle.

[@nemesysxr0163]

Derpytron84 Rocks! Different styles, it won’t work. Kirk wins

[@a-lonley-box3657]

3:00 oh those STRING BENDING SKILLS HOLD HELL Can he feel them against his bones, what?! :D

[@KarinoChan182]

Bro the skin from my fingers cut themselves just from looking at it

[@GhostofRhurValley]

spring roll spring roll master of spring rolls i dip in the suace

[@RyanSheehan64]

I think a Chinese menu to the tune of "Master of Puppets" would make a great song! Get on that Al Yankovic!

[@Arthurb06]

I can't imagine the feeling of being there while Ecstasy of Gold is playing and coming out to that rawring crowd It would be so great so bad and so amazing at the same time xD

[@Jokkelajnen]

He's always so happy. That is so great to see. Kind of gets me sad, because he is the best person alive. :'(

[@TeeKay047]

I love how he recites the "Spring Roll" menu in Master of Puppets-ness. SPRING ROLL! SPRING ROLL!

[@demyx0067]

2:50! So he CAN play like that! It was awesome. Should be more clips with him playing fast solos!

[@Sparrow-Music]

James is one of the greatest musicians I know. He hasn't let all the fame get to his head and hes such a cool guy. I'd love to spend at least one day with the guy.

[@Sparrow-Music]

Hell yeah! James is my idol. Great guy, great guitar player, great singer, he can do it all.

[@rockndude87]

Saw them on this tour with Godsmack in DC on October 17, 2004...such a badass show!

[@jedimasterdom]

0:20 i'm dying XD

[@craigusselman546]

Parsley and BEEAN !best song after Master of Puppets

Bot Lars got stuck @8:27

[@jacobj3674]

😂

[@MetallicA1988100]

man you helped me a lot and i learned almost all metallica songs from your lessons ..RESPECT

[@jay64stang]

James Hetfield is an amazing guy and gives all alcoholics hope that there is a way out. The new album is also incredible and they've literally reverted to Master of the Puppets/ Ride the Lightening days! Shows what you can do when your a sober guy!

[@JonathanWinegar]

thx for putting this video together. I completely enjoyed it.

[@Lardoization90]

is there going to be a day that trujilo is not wearing short pants?

[@Polishdog974]

That day has come it only took 14 years

[@alwaysawake2022]

You mean him wearing long pants or not wearing anything?)

[@tallica4alltime]

Happy 49 James! thanks for all the good music you hace apported to the world! :')

[@VitorDuzarte]

I know that James won't see this comment, but here it goes, for all the fans out there. I speak for me when i say that James is like a god. Everything on him, from the way that he dealed with his problems, everything is just amazing. Fuck the haters i don't care, i love Metallica. FOR ALL FUCKING EVER! James is amazing, amazing guitar player, amazing singer, and above everything an amazing person. Happy 48th birthday James Alan Hetfield, Signed by a big fan from Portugal. lml

[@IwillbeWaiting]

i just love watching the guys having a nice time, just like old time friends instead of just a band

[@Decemberer1212]

Been playing since the 80s and still sexy as hell...I love his voice grrrrrrr!!

[@kerryoshea100]

04:30 to 06:30 - fly on the wall peek into the pre show rituals - clearly still feeling butterflies before going onstage, even after all these years...great footage.

[@melissaslater2581]

james is my hero. great guy

[@j-sin3344]

Its long way from 03 or when ever that tuning room playing Battery, Lars was in another room, it was so small. Now they get a whole garage to tune in, love them, going May 27 in Boston, Ive seen them 8x, but taking my 2 boys 18 and 20 to their first show, the plus is we are going to see Megadeth 4 days earlier a Mohegan Sun, good times!!

[@BenHughes81]

2:52 First time I've heard James do lead guitar. Pretty good.

[@gordman6432]

he’s got solos on studio versions of songs too

[@gordman6432]

oh shut i just realized this comment is 11 years old

[@BenHughes81]

@@gordman6432 It's all good. Back then, I didn't know he did leads or solos. It's fun finding out stuff about your favorite bands you didn't know before.

@@BenHughes81 the man himself responds! rare to see after 11 years haha. and yeah it’s super cool to be learning new things, it helps me to connect with the music and i love little facts

James praying...thank you GOD for James, Lars, Kirk, Robert......😎

[@theruns123]

i think the het is totally underrated as a guitarist

[@mrhoffame]

Best metal band ever! They never loose a step!

[@VOLGARAPR]

James demonstrates all critics what a great guitarrist he is!

[@necroticpoison]

2:41 that moment when you realise that James has better musical sensibility than Kirk and is probably a better lead lmao

[@Tandereeno]

Hey its the guy that taught me guitar! Respect to you dude!

[@LisaSimpson2]

I wish James would be more mellow and fun like this instead of being so uptight all the time like he was in other documentaries. The silly tantrums and ego trips just ruin the bands productivity. Just my opinion (don't shoot!) :-)

[@vilianavasileva8213]

Well he was sober and healthier both physically and mentally here. A sober and healthy James is a fun, laidback James.

[@FernAveEnt]

the part about my tattoo made me re-like the mighty Het once again... he is saved, thank God!

[@mfree80286]

3:06 jesus frickin' christ why not just rip the damn strings out of the neck! Het must have rawhide fingertips...

What a pleasure it would be just to meet Mr. James Hetfield!

[@allcda]

Meu sonho é conhecer ele ^^ tocar guitarra com ele ^^ mais pena que isso nunca vai acontecer ='(

[@beastmode003]

1:34 sounds really good..i love that litttle part..cant get over it

[@Leo-rg8ho]

8:31 "To all our haters"

[@Ajayw1991]

He does. James plays the solo for Northing Else Matters, Whiskey in the Jar, and parts of Orion and Master of Puppets

[@lolsokje]

5:40 I didn't know you could pray to yourself O_O

[@rockntroopen]

something good about james is that he has a great personality as well as great gift

[@imranhakim1351]

7:13 Kirk is stronger than Rob, lol.

Are you stupid? He just has better strength to weight ratio

kirk and james = best combo of guitarists possible

'SPRING ROLL & VEGETABLES' YEAH. "WAAAA...ONE'S SHORTER THANT THE OTHER' LMAO I love this video!! Thanks!! Ü

[@JosephLesPaul]

watching this : Fight Fire-Welcome Home ( Sanitarium) live at " Giornata dell'arte " 2010 . THANK YOU!

[@roelemans1990]

I like the solo from battery, how they filmed it.. awesome!

[@TheGreatZurEnRaah]

After seeing James do his "Yeah" for that kid who asked him to do it so he could record it I have epic size respect for him. I mean I already respected the guy but when I see "Famous Rock Stars" being humble and down to earth with their fans like that it gives me goosebumps, I love shit like that. Fuck yeah James Hetfield you're the fucking man.

[@42mrwright]

I'm glad they upgraded their tuning rooms now

[@mw599]

8:30 - A plain black explorer... classic hetfield

[@ismeylia3501]

the fact that this video was made in 2007

[@AdamDaBomb11]

It seems these guys always have one hell of a time coming up with a setlist lol

[@mommatwobe]

I just saw them two days ago in Dallas!!!! I love you James! LOL

[@RichoRosai]

James Hetfeild has made an art out of variations and blends of "Yeah" and "Hey". Heahyeaheahheheahaaah.

[@ivanavena]

it is the first song from the ...and justice for all.. album, the name of the song is "Blackened".

[@wassup131994]

i agree with you on that! he's not the guy you wanna meet on a dark street in the midle of the night, or well if you didnt know him that would be very intimidating. but he is James from metallica so i would be happy to meet him :D

[@Stormblade02]

Dang that voice. Legendary

[@MetalSk8Shred]

Wow I've never seem him solo like that before!! Go james!

[@alzico]

Hearing that ecstasy of gold sends a torrent of shivers down te spine.

[@IAmRodyle]

I loved it when he was making up lyric melodies for songs based on the menu items

[@Equipe3v]

actually, james hetfield did write and record alot of solos and lead riffs, he doesnt only just play rhythm guitar. he played the solo on 'nothing else matters' as well as others

[@MetangellicA]

yesterday was my birthday, just one day before the legend!! you rock baby \m/ !

[@EnigmasityGG]

what a great person. gotta love him

[@Cizzie888]

James is the man!

[@bobbledorf]

I love that he prays before concerts.

[@Kakashirules85]

EPIC part.and to those that don't know exactly what he's doing,hes reading a take out menu and taking the orders and putting it into the lyrics of Master of Puppets.

[@xveraxjoanx]

ok we have to do the setlist for tonite... SPRING ROLLS!!!!!

[@JGaRRoWay08]

I love the way they play Battery at the start.

[@rOCKINxsOCKIN]

yeah! i think the old James is starting to come back 6:48, and yeah im lovin the new music, best album in 20 years

[@Smasho8000]

Man, James is only 47 and the band is probably considering putting the band to bed. I know they're an old band but in my opinion they have at least 2-3 albums left in them. I'm only 23 but started liking them only 2 years ago. My point is, I don't want them to quit yet. I'm not trying to seem too demanding but they cannot stop making music. If they do, I'll die of shock. Please guys, don't stop yet! METALLICA FOR LIFE!!!!!!

[@RandomPerson-ui3xv]

9 years later and I'll doubt you'll be able to see this but metallica is still aliveeee

[@BProachPapa]

it's great to see that even after all these years and success they are still nervous before they go on stage and don't do it just because they have to

[@CelloChick14]

"One's shorter than the other... it just-- *pissed off sigh* *weird crying*" "You'll be all outta balence now." "I know... maybe the right hand will go faster cuz there's less weight on it." and then the random Moonwalk onto the stage lol

[@KGuitarH]

There's one song I miss on Death Magnetic: Spring roll! xD

[@fixxxer152000]

They covered "The Ecstasy Of Gold" for a tribute album to Ennio Morricone. The year was around 2006 when they did so.

[@MetallicaBabyy]

@1stSgtSoulStealer It's Their Intro Song. 'Ecstasy of Gold' Its a Classical Song.. but they did a cover for it.. they've been using it as their intro song for their concerts since 1983.

[@frankielapo]

I love the part where james pray before the performance.. you are my idol man! MEtallica4Ever!

[@mat13potts]

its awesome m8 keep it up

[@MaulerAM]

+Goreball studios i thought the iron cross is an esp?

[@lucaslandolfo1276]

that's not the guitar which became the Iron cross, just a purple gibson les Paul he used for a while in 2003 2004. however the Iron cross orignally a gibson les Paul which james customized. In 2009 esp Made a signature model out of it.
