James then is a lot like James is now. Light energy, down to earth., totally relatable. I always felt that James' energy was always pretty heavy and somewhat dark during the height of the Black Album days. He later said the ego of being a rock star was getting the better of him.

[@jye_24]

It was sadly he was never stable and constantly was battling with his creative side trying to please the whole music world, however he is like this in all interviews hes always been James he just kept getting older, he had a horrible life yet he has never once been rude to an interviewer hes just a old soul he was Meant to be the front man of the world

The James of today seems like a completely different person.

Jason hasn't changed a bit. Watching this, well re-watching this - made me realize quite literally all the stuff he was saying about how Metallica were at the forefront of the thrash/metal movement since the beginning, and it only makes sense they would represent this genre to a mass audience by being in the first ever metal category at the Grammy's, and how people shouldn't view them gaining popularity as a negative gatekeeper thing; dude that whole bit is exactly what he'd say today if asked the same question. His respect for Metallica before he joined, during his tenure, and after his departure has NEVER wavered.

It’s funny how different James’s voice is in his younger days. Now it’s much deeper, as if he went through puberty during the 90’s, while in his 30’s. Obviously damaging his vocal cords by distorting his voice for many years contributed heavily.
