Metallica: James Hetfield - The 72 Seasons So What! Interview

[@braca977]

I grew up with this man's voice. It brings peace and joy to my heart.

[@metalfreak498]

Couldn't have said it any better, he was always a voice of reason and motivation for me. 🖤

[@szeleddie]

Same brother same here!!! 🤘🤘🤘 I have to confess i 've always want be like him!!! Which is impossible!!!

[@Glenvill_e]

Same!! Feels like family!

[@watevatube]

Me too, I'm a fan of few but James is one!

[@matthewbailey8588]

Think of how much James sacrificed. Literal time away from his family to travel and play shows for us. We are like his second family

[@michaelbartholomew8155]

I just want to give Papa Hetfield a big 'ol hug! Such a humble man. Love Metallica!

[@willhargreaveshf]

In all the promo for Seasons especially he's come across as such a sweet, honest boy. Truly one of my heroes.

[@TravisGreen_Music]

I love this man much more than a good majority of the people I speak to and have known personally

I don’t think I’d like folks calling me Papa anything lol

James is a national treasure, we need to protect him. The man has demons like all of us, we are just human.

[@NintenDub]

Protect him from?.... And so, your Gunna do it?

[@psychotictactoe]

@@NintenDub Yeah, you gunna join me or just piss and moan?

Yeah its true we are all HUMANS!!! But he is one of the music GODS!!!

Protect yourself. He's fine. Worry about your own life.

This interviews weird because theres parts of this album where ppl shouldve gone well this could be better or etc should there have been more critiquing of the songs?

Life would suck much more, that's for sure

My dad was around in 1980, he said it was awesome!

[@professionalboycottservice7872]

Metallica can imagine a life without you.

[@matthewwells4733]

@@Ottophil I'm glad most responses to my comment, like yours, were positive. And I'm sure your dad loved seeing them. I've watched the Binge and Purge videos and I owned the VHS for Cunning Stunts. Such a great band.

[@chantaldufresne7418]

Man… can’t hold tears more… I’m a Metallica fan since the very beginning, buying Kill’Em All vinyl in ‘83. I’m a 52 year old father of 3 wonderful human beings now. Hearing James talk about purpose and vulnerability is clearly speaking to me. I’m blessed my favorite band since ever is still totally in sync with me, my life and my love for heavy music. Big hug to you James!! Thanks for being human. See you in Montreal in August!!!

[@guitaratfourty]

James has been my therapy for 35 years.

[@mdub2000]

Yeah I’m the same started from the beginning with my older brother. These guys still pumping out music through their therapy and in turn their music has been our therapy through life too🤙🏾. Keep on keepin on guys!

[@Ghost-vs3du]

I'm heading to Montreal to see them too lol coming from Hamilton.... see ya in the mosh pit 😎

[@TCM215]

This album is heavy:) it's just very produced. If it was recorded with 1980s tech it would be just as heavy as master of puppets

[@theheadbangguy5985]

James' voice is so relaxing to me

[@HomeHalfway]

If NPR ever hosts a metal show, hire this man.

[@PurpleStormProductions]

I’ve been waiting for James’s interview, hearing his voice, hearing his thoughts about times in his life, the record, and more, there’s simply no comparable experience.

[@TheOskr01100]

Compared to 2019-2020 he looks healthier, more vital, happier. That's just so cool and not because of the band, but, because of him. He'd achieved so many things, and gone through many things that I think, " he just deserves to be happy"

[@Omar_E11]

I want more of this. Just James talking, being interviewed. I'd pay money for a James Hetfield podcast. What a brilliant artist, and human.

[@MarioTorres-yp2kq]

Sold!

[@stephanietrickler8688]

Hell yeah

[@Tedtt655]

He has one episode with Rogan

[@mehdi5738]

Yeah, Its my feeling too

[@davidkinsella7624]

The greatest front man and song writer of all time. There will NEVER be another James Hetfield. Man still writes and plays like he's 18. Heart.

[@mandyinseattle]

A true poet. And he's funny

[@KBr-ud6ly]

James you & Metallica’s have no idea how many peoples and lives in many forms, you have saved! I will never forget being at my lowest, during an illness ,post break up, loneliness in a cold far away country- but i went to see you in Germany in a concert and I swear to God that watching you was a healing. That night was really unreal and saved my life and my mind! I love you forever ♥️♥️💕

[@honigdachs.]

He really poured his heart and soul into the new album and it makes it a very special record.

[@jacksonroper22]

Really is a solid record. Love that there is more input from Kirk & Rob as well…feels some of the gaps that exists in the 2nd half of HTSD IMO

[@jujitsusti7719]

72 is a Masterpiece of a album yeah all 12 songs are banging relating to lifes struggles within 🎶🎸🤘👊

[@JC78-e2u]

It's so inspiring to see James so emotionally talk about his first Flying V guitar! It's incredible how humble and down to earth this man is really.

[@mandyinseattle]

I do not know HOW or why his wife let him go... He would have had to pry me loose from him.

[@stephanietrickler8688]

That part really got me 😢

[@gareddpreece6245]

Personally I think that James ,being who he is and having the platform that he has, being able to talk honestly about rehab and his reasons for going there is an inspiration in itself. Being a 50 year old myself who struggled with addictions and depression in my younger years have nothing but admiration for this part of him regardless of his fame and lifestyle!!!

[@bruinsmash8836]

What an insanely humanizing interview. This was amazing.

[@mandyinseattle]

I just watched "Some Kind of Monster," which is amazing. I cried 3-4 times watching it and the making of. They're so humble and funny and intelligent and just plain human and handsome and romantic.

[@nk1974]

If this music thing doesn’t work out, James has a backup career in voice over work and narration. The speaking tone of his voice is just so relaxing to listen to.

[@manguy2000]

He has had 40 years to focus on his voice....work on and refine his vocal chords. He has exercised them mightily...no surprise to me.

[@user-yw5ct1px3x]

music thing doesn't work out and james hetfield ... alright. everyone has their opinion

[@HomeHalfway]

[@andrematos5673]

He's obviously joking people come on ahahaa But yeah, even after retirement he could end up in some project like that, i personally would love to hear his voice in other stuff. Even in some movie would be great

[@Fepao7]

I identify a lot with James. I am a recovering addict and the lyrics on this album spoke directly to me. 72 seasons is a masterpiece. Thanks for existing Metallica.

[@mhlockyer709]

I just started this and I’m already sad it’s almost over. James is the 🐐. I love the last couple albums but 72 Seasons is probably the best since the 90’s for sure.

[@andrewwoodcock7358]

James has such a satisfying talking voice. He should do a celebrity audiobook reading or something.

[@croDIVIAK]

I lost my mother when I was 16 and then decided to blame the world for the trauma I went through, if it wasn’t for my father and the rest of my family and my true friends it would of been hard for me to get to where I am at 28 now, but by god did Metallica help me, James helped me so much through those years where I would shut off from the world and just put my headphones on and listen to Metallica for god knows how long, 72 seasons really does resonate with me and it’s reassuring to know we all have our demons, we all have our struggles, we have all been through shit but it’s up to us to shape our life and change our 72 seasons

[@Stephbraz-4]

I just celebrated 10 years clean and sober and it felt like I was so busy working on myself ALL THE TIME. For 10 years I was obsessed with self help and stuff like that. Now, I have breached a new level where I want to live. I’m picking up my guitar everyday, I’m falling in love with Metallica all over again. Been a fan for 40 years so MetallicA have been the most constant thing in my life.

[@jujitsusti7719]

Ffing well done to you on your 10 th zero alcohol anniversary kudos to you 🤘💯🤘💯🤘💯🤘👊

[@streetsandpeaks3013]

So glad you shared this James. I’m 54 now and I have the same life long challenge to own my life and let go of the blame I put at my parents feet no matter how they chose to own their part or not. The irony is I wasn’t a Metallica fan in the 80’s and 90’s and it’s my 18 year old son who got me listening to you guys by playing your music on his guitars 24/7. Now looking back my son reminds me of you in the hair days. Haha Thanks brother.

I first heard Metallica- Kill ‘Em All in 83 when I was 12 and in grade 6 haha ! ( I’m almost 52 now 🤟🏻😎🤟🏻 and still a headbanger 🤪🙂) I still love almost all metal music new or old. I’ve been super lucky over the years to see some unreal shows live ! seen Prong , Sepultura and Pantera in 1994. Such a Killer Show ! ( met Vinnie Paul in 2012 and had him autograph my ‘94 Far Beyond Driven tour concert shirt…18 years later 😄 Vin was really cool, friendly and funny ! 😊 also got to see Black Sabbath in 1999 at Ozzfest , and Ozzy solo 4x and tons more bands pretty much anyone you can list over the years, most of them 3 or 4 times . I have really been enjoying going deeper down the 🪣Buckethead 🤖 rabbit hole ( as I write this I think he’s at 500.+ !!! Albums! Bucketheadland Pikes series + about 80 or more other projects ?) it’s the greatest thing I’ve come across in the last 10 years or so ( maybe ever?) … that dude is so insanely good on a guitar! 🎸 I’ve played for 37 years myself at this point. To Anyone who has never heard his solo music.. You Absolutely Need To ! I can’t even begin to explain how incredible he is… Bucket 🪣 will quite literally Blow Your Mind ! an entire universe of different styles… and he can play them All… Extremely well!🎸🤟🏻🤯🤟🏻 Even after at least 10 years straight of playing his music every day… I am only continually even more amazed all the time at his skill on the 🎸axe 🪓 !

[@mandyinseattle]

I just really discovered them this year after my son played me "No Leaf Clover" (I'm older than them). I'm now obsessed and have a LOT of material to go through!! Saw them last week and they were great. Saw Some Kind of Monster and cried several times. I dig their authenticity in addition to their talent and good looks.

[@juliecolonna1458]

[@mcafton]

It's nice hearing how these songs were put together particularly why the vocals are a certain way. The singing was fantastic on this album.

[@gallaghim]

It's comforting in its way to hear James say he's still trying to figure himself out. I'm in my mid-40s, certainly no where near being in a place in life and mentally where I want to be. I suppose one's whole life is the pursuit of that and you do what you can. Best of luck, James.

[@vikinglore1066]

Respect James and the rest of the band so much. I couldn’t imagine the pressure on these guys for the last decades, they’ve dealt with it admirably and openly. I enjoy seeing their growth as people and as a band. Just my two cents worth. Even if they never played another note, I couldn’t be more thankful for everything.

Cheers to Steffan Chirazi for being such an important piece to the Metallica puzzle. He really does so much for, not only the fans, but for Metallica history in general. A lot of the insights we get into the band comes directly through his journalism.

Amen. Stefans ability to peel back the curtain is such a gift. Its amazing to see James answering these questions of vulnerability with such openness. Its a reminder that its OK to be weak at times because that leaves opportunities for growth mentally and spirituallly.

[@chrismouton1985]

James is such a legend! To be able to confront your demons time after time and to admit that you need help makes him such a good role model and blows away the stigma that men shouldn't show their weaknesses and admit their short-comings. How many prominent artists have we lost due to their demons and personal problems? Good on you, James. Oh, and the new album rocks!

[@rubaidaallen2764]

This man. Listening to him is so therapeutic. He’s been through so much in his life, and even though I haven’t had a hard life, I’ve had moments of sadness and listening to Metallica has always helped. Hetfield’s lyrics just resonate.

[@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen]

I grew up with James and Metallica, and they have meant so much to me over the years. It felt like they left me after St. Anger was released and it became a void in my life until Hardwired which was when I started to reconnect with them again. And now with 72 seasons I feel like they have fully returned and I can truly embrace them again. It is almost like a long lost friend has returned. No idea if any of this would make sense to anyone but myself but my love for Metallica has never been stronger. 72 seasons is the album I have been waiting for for so long (over 23 years), I thought it would never happen but here we are! To me this is one of their absolute BEST albums ever!

No need to judge my writing ✍️ Or my thoughts as they are positive. I think you should listen to James instead of being a harvester of sorry because you pulled the shortest straw in life.

this is the best interview i’ve ever seen of James. Straight up honesty, no shame, just human ❤

Some character development on this guy. I fucking love how James keeps growing and evolving year after year unlike some other "rock guys" who are 14 year old rebel kids in a 60 year old guy body. He keeps fucking searching and fighting for truth and growth and life. Just an amazing example. It really goes back to when ppl hated the evolution on lyrics on black album, Load, Reload, St Anger... you should try to reborn yourselfs just as he's done.

Course he never was a stereotypical rock star. The lyrics he wrote at just 21 or so already had a lot of insight and psychological depth.

This group is so amazing. To be as successful as they are, but to remain as humble as they all seem to be. The talent they all individually bring to the table, as well as the love they clearly have for each other continues to blow my mind. I got a little worried during COVID that they might start walking away from the band but when I considered how far they’d all come, I knew that the bond they had as individuals and as importantly as band members, I felt pretty sure they would continue on together. Thank you guys for all the good you’ve brought into this world, and the positive feelings you brought to all of us as your fans. Love this album.

These guys have an incredibile career under their belts,

[@tonyloco42]

Can't help but admire this man's honesty. As he said, He's living his dream, one that many never achieve, but he retains his humanity and all the flaws that go along with that, despite such commercial success. In his later years, he's found a way to communicate that to people, without embarrassment. or feeling 'weak' for doing so. Clearly a tough sort of guy, but an inspiring person.
