Metallica - A Day In The Life Of James Hetfield

[@NASCARThunder2011]

"I woke up..... That's good. Good thing to wake up." The wise words of Mr. Hetfield.

[@pointuout2020]

It’s even better when you wake up in bed, your own bed to be exact!

But, what a feeling to experience it again in the UHD times! :) It gives more of a vibe of those early internet era. We should be grateful to had such experience and seeing how this enormous monster of streaming and exchanging information was born and developing on our eyes. Also with that change of experiencing MetallicA by fans. Cool thing to archive.

The fan club guy asked Lars to play his demo CD before Metallica went on, right after the Strokes, and he did! Lars called the stage guy over and they did it. That's some love for fans right there, you rule Lars.

[@scopchanov]

The "stage guy" you say. That was the Big Mick himself.

I wanna find out who it was. The band who’s demo got played.

So quirky and the cheekiness which brings that trademark laugh and then the mega smile is what makes me adore him. I'd love to spend a week on tour with Metallica.

All of Metallica's albums are great and amazing work. They have always made great music and if they write more they will do great on those songs just as well, no rock band could ever be better than Metallica, they are the BEST rock band I've ever heard of in my entire life. If I had to chose between meeting Metallica or Avenged Sevenfold... I'd prefer to meet Metallica any day!!!

[@jonaichs1976]

The reason that Metallica is still around isnt because of cum load 1 and 2 , monster and anger albums etc...its because of the first 4 albums and that particular fan base. They could retire today and never make another album and still sellout arenas. Most fans today know them for their albums of the 90's. I was fortunate to see them at their peak 89 91 and 92. They were completely different live...and the fans today will never know that experience. When you go to a Metallica concert today you dont hear fans screaming for songs off the 90's or 2000's albums. Its the first 4.

[@222Brony]

Looks tiring. The fans are great and the appreciation is cool, but that's a lot of fucking work. Think about it for a second. You do what you do, but whenever you're not doing it, you're mobbed by people telling you how good you are and it's the best thing to ever happen in their lives that they met you. Times that by every day for the rest of your life. Don't tell me that's not hard. But for reals, they're fucking awesome.

[@Scorned405]

I would hate to b famous

[@brianm2881]

And if Hetfield is not a dick, then there must be a slight feeling of guilt that he cannot match the fan's enthusiasm. For that fan, it's probably the only time he'll ever get to meet Hetfield, but for Hetfield, he meets fans like that every time he does a show, and is most probably over it.

People like to rag on lars for being a shit drummer but its pretty obvious why he's in the place he's in. He's witty, good listener, has a way of making everybody he meets feel at ease and is overall a charming guy. Now i'm not saying that thats what he's like 100% of the time but he certainly knows when to behave like that. i'm sure he's convinced alot of important people to give metallica's music a chance at the beginning of their career just with those traits alone.

[@basmanios]

@Joel WW Feel bad for the rest of that band, to be honest. They had a pretty decent career going, good following etc. Imagine waking up one morning to the news that your singer, the guy you'd known for years and years, was trying to have sex with a one year old child. Talk about a shitty feeling. Not only is your band done there and then, but you're forever tainted by the very association with him. The rest of them have since gone on to form a new band called No Devotion, but they'll always carry the baggage of being former associates of sicko Ian Watkins. Nothing can ever be the same for them.

No, he always wanted to make it big. It’s documented multiple times. I guess what happened to him is that he just underestimated fame like 99% of us would. You think it’s fun and games until it starts to suffocate you. Plus, he’s a self declared loner and that shy introverted kid is still in him. He’s just not a people’s person.
