Metallica's James Hetfield Interview Part 1 (1997)

[@sinceunati]

Man, James is cool as shit. Drunk, sober, tats, no tats, long hair, short hair. Whatever. When you're cool you're cool.

[@Stormblade02]

Exactly. King Hetfield

[@raqueledwards6061]

❤️😎🤘

[@sleepless51]

This is a very sincere interview. Not like the formal boring interview. Everyone seems to be in a nice mood.

[@debonaire_nerd]

James' secret to ageing: look your age, ALWAYS sound like you're in your mid forties.

[@Eris_Norregard]

2:20 "Lars and I have since gotten married..." :D

[@alex8449]

not to each other (ʘ‿ʘ)

[@RickGrimesS5]

And people say james was an asshole when he still drunk Ha! James was a really cool guy back then (he still is) And he was so funny. And he wasn't even cocky or whatever. I miss james like this tbh :/

[@Danimal77]

I miss this version of James too. He's become way to PC and restrained since getting sober. Back then he just said what he thought/felt, not giving a shit.

[@juanrezende4914]

@@Danimal77 But he is like this today, not only because he is sober, but because he has grown older, today is more mature, and takes more care than he speaks.

[@symphonyinkart]

U should not at 56 behave the same way at 25.. .. cmon lol.

[@RickGrimesS5]

@@symphonyinkart He was in his 30s here. And it's not like he was behaving like a kid or whatsoever. Pretty sure kirk still behaves like when he was in his 20s or 30s.

[@symphonyinkart]

@@RickGrimesS5 well, acting like ur 20s in ur 30s is the same. A lot happens. I think i binge youtube too much as i dunno looking at this old comment i wrote 56! Anyway, but yes. You get what i was trying to say lol

[@tillman40]

[@danny355]

I love how James talks to anyone, you don't have to be a huge radio station or have a pro set up (No offense, haha). This clip is a really great little treasure. Reading '97 was my first Metallica gig. Seen them 12 or 13 times since.

[@alexzoris7216]

The guy who is doing the interview, knew Metallica since the days that they were a demo band, so there was a long friendship between them already

[@tvalla]

I love this James!

[@access1992]

wow those people passing by in the background have NO idea who's being interviewed behind them

[@bryansteele832]

I was watching this video about filming locations for the movie office space. People in a apartment complex in Austin Texas probably had no idea that Jennifer Aniston was right outside their window. Whatever, they eat, shit, sleep and are people just like the rest of us.

James has known Danny, the host at the start, since the 80s. If you watched Get Thrashed you'll see Danny show up several times.

In every interview, Lars demands royalty cheques for each sound that resembles a snare! Fact!

Can't figure out which to love more James or the pixels....

[@Terrakinetic]

Public Access Television - These guys outlasted multi-million dollar shows with just their dinky equipment and passion.

[@jye_24]

With that comment it Forever Blows my mind Metallica were Number 1 for 2 Music Generations... The Fact James was Experiencing Popular bands in the 80s like Ozzy, Priest, Maiden, Scorpions, and Van Halen... Compared to his 90s Time with bands like Bush, KoRn, Marily, SOAD, and Kid Rock.

[@SilentNightBodomNight]

Bring back the 90s. Ever since mid 2000s nothing feels the same. Times these days sucks ass.

[@METALFROG6]

Master James Hetfield. No one is worthy!!! Your still not worthy!!!

[@whereisevan]

Damn it! I thought I was getting close! XD

[@ozanareyiz7773]

1:28 He and Lars were struggling to explain. "not too far apart"? Like a year and a half. I could understand 6 months but 18 months?

gush Hetfield was so young back then...

I think it's Low Man's Lyric

[@booishoois309]

Wow James used to have such a nasty sense of humour. You can tell how it's changed over the years to be much more positive.

[@Danimal300zx]

Man James was so much fun back then and cool. It's as though he got a lobotomy in 2002.

[@diananascimentofreire1361]

Danimal300zx I Think that he saved his life in 2002 and his wife had all the credit in that. If he didn't stopped drinking alcohol he would lose his family, Metallica and his life, because he was to close to self destruction.

[@SilentNightBodomNight]

@@diananascimentofreire1361 He may have been an alcoholic but he was nowhere near Mustaine and his level of addiction, so by that logic Mustaine was border line death.

[@av3nger3]

Another side of Hetfield I didn't know about.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Lyndon Baines Johnson (Stonewall, Texas; 27 de agosto de 1908-Ib., 22 de enero de 1973), conocido por sus iniciales LBJ, fue un político estadounidense que se desempeñó como el trigésimo sexto presidente de los Estados Unidos entre 1963 y 1969. 22 de noviembre de 1963 20 de enero de 1969.

[@CrackBeaver]

What does this have to do with LBJ?

[@embassyhotel]

Dam it just seems like yesterday that Load came out & I was a ripe 20 years old lol,it was funny to hear him say they did a festival with Bush,not a good combo.But I remember listening to Load in my tape player before my hockey games to get pumped up.But I wasn't a fan of re-load.

[@snugglyjeff214]

Not a good combo? Metallica was just a southern bluesy alternative rock at this time. They followed the trends just like they always have, and added their little edge to it. Bush was definitely on the heavier side of alt rock as well so it seems like a perfect fit to me. Certainly a lot better fit than Manson.

Load and reload nah but love metallica

[@ryanpatterson906]

I know for a fact James is extremely proud of what they accomplished musically & sonically on Load and Reload. Watching James' inerview on Fan Can VI, when asked what song he is most proud of. He proceeds to name Outlaw Torn, Fixxxer, and Bleeding Me as top 3 candidates. I don't blame him, these three tracks are more 'Metallica' than anything they'd done before that. They are definitely more 'Metallica' songs than anything else as James likes to say, like many others on these two records.

[@denialedthishandle]

So fucking what... what are they gunna do just shut the power off when they play what they want. now days if you don't mind the rules the industry will be upset and fuck that the reason why rock n metal isn't even allowed on radio stations anymore is that they are musicians and they control there sound and the industry can't control or dictate anything like they can with pop stars there ghost writers and everyone knows that it's all a joke anymore they are fully independent and owe nobody anything they own there Name Metallica is the most influential things of all time I do disagree with Lulu and St Anger but really it's whatever haha
