[@sawmivanlal9387]

James is kool

[@rawkgawdez]

love his honesty. always.

[@RoCkErX285]

It's sometimes easy to forget how much GREAT stuff is on the Load/Reload albums.

[@juanrezende4914]

IS GREAT ALBUNS!!!

[@minnied2872]

Reload is one of my favorite albums

[@larsswig912]

The way he described Black Sabbath is how I felt when I first heard Master of Puppets.

[@eva-vs1zu]

Lars's Wig that’s how I felt listening to One Hi there btw😂👋

[@larsswig912]

@@eva-vs1zu Hey😂

[@manuelag.h.7471]

Long Live JAMES ❤

[@IncessantWake]

This interview put a big smile on my face, James is a real great guy and the interviewer was good too. It's all about spreading positive vibes man. A blessing

[@SaGeOwL4891]

[@patriotinvestor]

The interviewer was damn nervous, but if I was him I would've stuttered every question

[@FelipeNumpaque]

He knows how the life is, He really knows how to live it. What a nice guy, what a beautyful person.

[@Scipiuz]

That's why I literally love Metallica. They're putting themselves on music. It's not something they have to do to please someone; it's not their music, they are their music. They're true. But not in the way Slayer are.

woooooooow, so cool he's proud of Bleeding Me, Outlaw Thorn and Fixxxer, I love those songs, I think it's Metallica at their top, I hope they got back to those kind of songs

[@VelvetVixen09]

I love James he seems like such a cool Guy to talk to about anything

[@Pavl0ve]

James hetfield is amazing , he's really a special and good person

[@redlinebam]

I think this is the best interview I've seen with James, thanks for it

[@RocknRoll7425]

Would be awesome to have a chat with mister hetfield

[@shumen73]

like i said...masterpiece of a humankind! ...what a person!!!

[@larsswig912]

Take a shot every time he says "y'know"

[@mistersunshine1330]

*James Goes Back To Alcoholism*

[@GRIMLOCK91]

I think he gradually got them to cover up scars on his arm from when he got burnt.

[@temite80]

Great interview. Nice job by the interviewer. A lot of respect in the room going both ways, great thing to see. Thanks!

[@snugglyjeff214]

The bit about musical diversity within metallica....I think this really hurt you guys long term. Corey Taylor did it right. When you make a band, you create a product...you create a "brand". While it is completely understood that some "off-brand" songs will sneak their way in to an album, it is detrimental to your overall product if you make entire albums off-brand. Corey Taylor understood this, so when you buy a Slipknot cd, the customer knows what they are getting, and will be confident in their purchase. Throw too many different styles of music in a Slipknot record, and people will stop buying. So here comes Stone Sour for all those weaker songs that should never be on a Slipknot record. If Metallica had the foresight to do this from the beginning, we could have still been getting good focused heavy records, and the people who liked the lighter side of what the members of Metallica create, could buy the records from their side project band. So this is why I have zero expectations, and therefore zero interest in the next Metallica album, as I have no idea how much of the album I am going to like. The next Slipknot record I am definitely buying though.

[@123lowp]

James is awesome!!

[@JJMM33]

Bleeding Me... Fuckin epic song. So underrated.

[@aaronsherwood8165]

One of the most open man I’ve ever heard. So creative

[@xXDJsmileyXx]

he is still human...

[@Locoandchooch]

I guarantee, nobody will talk about this, no rockstar or actor etc, except this man. James. If you’re going to choose your hero, choose smart.🤘🏼

[@thaohien1793]

11:29 "bye~" XD

[@cathycastadena6084]

Really loved this video!!! Very excited about your interview!! I get it !!!!!!! ❤

[@Asjunior]

He's great cuz he's human!

[@FabX6]

Funny how in the 90's James didn't have one single tattoo and now look at him.:-D

[@19Anxiety85]

Oh, I just love James. He's so....what should I say.... lovable! His voice are amazing, and when he plays the guitar my ear's smiling. And not to talk about how damn sexy and hot he is! And when he shows this honest and symphatic side it just can't be more awesome! (and YEAH, I'm a woman and a big Metallica-fan ;) ). Sorry if I did'nt spelled everything right, I'm swedish...

[@SlashvsAdamSadler]

funny how his cap is perfectly calibrated with his head

[@aaebsssb9914]

lark Ulris Mirk Hakkem,e,ent Jason Cliff ride the puppets justoce for lightinign

[@ratmbulls]

i loved the part when he didnt want to say phil collins's name haha

[@philippeclement1570]

I feel like he holds back a lot of anger towards interviewers espeacially when sober.

[@MrKschuldiner]

James is a real gentleman. respect king James

[@BigBi90]

Bleeding Me et Outlaw Torn are badass songs !

[@LEFTBEHINDTIMES]

“Anything can be Metallica”

[@konrad3014]

"obviously fire" hahahaha :D that was awesome

[@AndrewEwing1995]

James might some ego but he is an honest and a caring person who jusy wants respect

[@m47h4r]

Fixxxer is THE ONLY SONG I could enjoy when I'm going through some shit. And then bleeing me is exactly what I'll listen to a couple of weeks or months after that shit I went through, it picks me back up. Those two songs are really beyond music, they have a high bandwidth communication of going through a tough time. Thanks James, thanks Metallica.

[@samuelstoner1838]

Great guy

[@MrMrrazze]

O love that James said YEARLY maiden ;)

[@almabouchot]

Why is he so cute?

[@boezerdieser]

but he had some very good questions there.

[@quasipseudo1]

great interview

[@347xTOM]

actually he wasnt completely honest, at the end of the vid he said ' and at the end of the day were human' he's obviously unaware that they are gods

[@AndreaLeon33]

What a man!

[@d3monloki]

@DustinFarleyTV probably b/c its where he has his interview questions written down on

[@MTAlupyourass]

Het is so kickass dude

[@xurxo12]

mr. james alan hetfield, please: PLAY UNFORGIVEN 2 LIVE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanx, the fans.

[@immortallix]

5:48 Jason lol

[@NickW0608]

KZbin fucked up the enter bar and when i try to enter it posts the fucking comment. thats going to take some getting use to

[@LarsUlrichIsMe]

@XzevastianX i wish they played them live more

[@quavde]

Is it Joel McIver interviewing ?

[@davidrikersisland8657]

Am I the only one who notice the Papa from Ghost tattoo on James neck 😎😈👊

[@josefranco9707]

I agree with James there we can't forget some songs of load and reload like the outlaw torn ,bleeding me, fixxxer , unforgiven II great albums but very unappreciated

[@metallicaboy123]

Obviously afraid of fire ahahahaha we love you James

[@MetalMayhem1978]

We need a James Hetfield biography. From him ! Not some ghost writer

[@NickW0608]

i forgot what i was going to say now

[@Abrahamhamham]

It`s so annoying to see James answering the questions and looking at the interviewer, and that guy taps the iPhone. I know he reads the questions or whatever, but it`s silly to talk to a man who isn`t even looking at you.

[@chriss2452]

Corey is an excellent solo artist, I'm a little surprised James bashes him like this.

[@freeridergarrett]

@FabX6 tattoos are extremely expensive espically his he probably got the best of the best

[@josephkony9102]

well he is a tattooist now aswell

[@filandrianos]

sober james is better!

[@jackbauer1818]

No. Drunk James is the best

[@BrodinBrothers22]

@RodHammett95 The fans proudest tracks...

[@patrickscott2914]

Only thing I don't like about this is the side project comments. Makes zero sense. Corey isn't hurting for money, some people actually want to branch out and do different things

[@NickW0608]

had something to do with 8:15

[@ferryvanextel]

Dave,STOP disliking!!hater...!;-)

[@Brann82]

HARD ROCK PRIEST.

[@MilitantOldLady]

oh snap! its Fred Durst! :D

[@Lpfan32iK]

he is?

[@1970karenleah]

Phil Collins 😳

[@josephkony9102]

Well he has tattooed fans, and he is good at it so yea I guess you could say he is a tattooist...

[@petegilk]

2:59 - 3:10

[@thequintessential5503]

What does James mean when he was talking about Corey Taylor?

[@gordanlazinica]

+The Conrad Basically, he doesn't like when someone is not fully invested in only "the main" band. I think he feels that you spend too much of your time and energy on many other things and then you can't focus fully on your main thing.

[@thequintessential5503]

+Antikoagulant I thought he was just disappointed in him for selling his soul for more money. I know I sound crazy for saying that

[@gordanlazinica]

+The Conrad No, it's cool. I wouldn't necessarily agree because I don't think he does it for the money, just because of his freedom to do many stuff more independently. James is more like: "Anything you need to do you can do it in one thing and with your main gang." But, I think that you should do anything you feel that you want to do and not be stuck in something if you don't get enough out of it. On the other hand, I understand James in terms of, if you always give 100% to only one thing, you'll get more out of it than doing many stuff and be not as focused on everything properly as you could.

[@thequintessential5503]

Antikoagulant that makes sense.

[@daoyinyang]

I meant didn't know, but yeah. I know what you mean/

[@Guggebilen]

Old Fred Durst?

[@daoyinyang]

did know he was still a cusser. thought he put all that passed him

[@mortemdrummer]

FIXXXER!!!

[@SaGeOwL4891]

lol

[@RanS2804]

11:42 XD

[@RodHammett95]

his proudest tracks: bleeding me, outlaw torn, fixxer, unforgiven II......WTF!!!! where are master of puppets, one, fade to black, and justice for all........

[@Kruegerisgod]

James, Phil Collins is a badass

[@JRRIII]

i was in an elevator with phil collins in ny, he cut the nastiest fart and didn't apologize.

[@Kruegerisgod]

@@JRRIII Lol

[@elenigeop]

Come on man you re interviewing JAMES HETFIELD stop being on fucking facebook!

[@MasaM-c2c]

Unforgiven II is for me, kinda pointless, but i dont even like a whole album, reload, not in my favorites list at all, it is out, earlier it sounded some pretty good but after all, noooo noooo.

[@MasaM-c2c]

Well. Nothing else matters is album worst song, for me anyway. unforgiven i love alot! Black sabbath is one what born heavy metal but who did basic, led Zeppelin, noone cant deny that, if so, that is a lie?

[@miltontohd6448]

blah blah blah blah blah. forget this fool. who cares what he says.
