Metallica Recalls Hard-Partying Days and Destroying Dressing Rooms

[@thesentinel5523]

Whenever James has his guitar on, he's always in his playing stance no matter what he's doing.

[@rulis1813]

It's called power stance.

[@Steven-lb4bl]

He’s trying to make Lars seem taller

[@michaelaugust3626]

He has to reach down to talk in his mic...What better way

[@ndesdsadfd]

@@Steven-lb4bl 😂

[@berna6900]

It's probably cause of the mic position.

[@AlexanderDecommere]

Hetfield’s legs think he’s still playing Master of Puppets during this interview.

[@TheSixStringGuy]

And him playing while talking, he's probably playing the whole song in his mind.

You gotta be in that stance to play nothing but down strokes 👌

"This is how we celebrated life." That's great.

Actually what's great is his perspective now and how he learned from it not what he did then.

I love how Lars and James are so open to talking about these things, meanwhile Kirk and Rob look so nervous and displaced.

They’re sort of the quiet one’s of the band. And also Robb wasn’t around in those days, so he will naturally stay quiet.

If they ever did remake the Wizard of OZ I would want to see James cast as the lion. Not because he’s cowardly, but because he reminds of Burt Lahr so much.
