James Hetfield talk about the album "Hardwired... to Self-Destruct" with Marky Ramone
Recorded interview in Electric Lady Studios, New York, for Virgin Radio Italy - November 2016.

[@afatrubayetmondal6272]

Man I need some James Hetfield podcasts. His voice is soothing af.

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

I could listen to James explain just about anything.

[@Morten_Nielsen1979]

James has a powerful voice even when speaking. Good rumbly bass tone.

[@ma2000]

What is it about James that makes everything he says sound so cool? His voice or his style or his relaxed attitude? He is like Morgan Freeman, he can say whatever and it will sound deep and meaningful.

[@brodo4495]

His voice. He seems so laid back.

[@jonathanway4201]

m-a he’s smart enough to not say anything foolish.

[@hankgege2199]

what about Markey's voice? lol

[@Theflowergeekcrafts]

m-a I love it. I could listen to him talk all day everyday.

[@MetalMayhem1978]

m-a cause he is the fucking Master!!!

[@GeneralButtNaked84]

James' face when Marky says "You sleep on top, Lars on bottom" screams of resonating pain and sadness from the memories of Cliffs accident. RIP brotha.

I absolutely adore James Hetfield. Just an unreal man he is 💖💖💖

[@RichardFriendartist]

great interview...thank you for sharing this!

[@user-uy3eq5hg1s]

Fantastic interview. Thanks for this guys. It's interesting having a music legend interview another music legend because the interviewer has deep insights into the industry as a result.

[@dickrash8706]

James is super down to Earth. A good open and honest guy.

So nice to see marky in good shape ;)

[@manuelag.h.7471]

Long Live JAMES HETFIELD and Metallica! Love you ❤

[@THEDAILYRIFF]

At 7:13, James' face after Marky says "You're on the top! No, he's on the bottom." talking about bunk beds on the tour bus. Yep... If you know a bit of Metallica's history, you know what James instantly thought about... Great interview though. Glad to see them still kickin' ass in 2017.

[@TheRealEricMitchell]

Metal and Rock 'n' Roll interview on... VIIIRGIIIN - RADIOOOOO!!

[@Trakinax]

I'm from brazil, I've been listening to Metallica since a very young age, from time to time, I see the James changed, a lot, he has an intimidating presence, and it's impossible not to be impressed with him

[@karic1294]

I love his voice...

[@StoneColdFox17]

Idk why everyone is complaining about them getting "old"..Hetfield looks better than ever and gets more handsome with age in my opinion

[@davidcurtis4478]

Wow, great interview! Always love listening to James and his real life experiences. Amazing about the family who lost their daughter by a drunk driver and now goes to all the Metallica shows because she was a fan - that's very heart touching. God Bless them! Metallica has been in my life forever and continue to Rock my life everyday. Also shout out to Dave Mustaine. All those guys are special to me. Keep Rockin' guys! 🎶🥁Thanks for great interview! DC

[@Morgan.iiiviix]

I really enjoy listening to James speak. He knows how to organize and articulate his thoughts well to the point that he makes me hang on to every word. That's a gift... I can see James doing motivational speeches later on or do some talks and what not. Kinda like Henry Rollins.

[@peanutbutterisfu]

Man I wonder how much longer James will be able to keep that right hand going. Would be amazing to see them playing at 80 years old.

[@sandhya315]

This interview is so interesting. He also did an interview with Kirk and was so visibily annoyed and almost the opposite of his demeaner in this. He's seems more engaged.

[@samuelklimek1860]

Love music especially metallica

[@bobbyberetta4206]

Great Interview! Great questions Marky.

[@thecrookinc]

[@jburdsinfuse]

3:54- "Do you like Jazz? James' face is classic...the answer is no, no James is not a jazz enthusiast

[@zachmeals8246]

I'm so damn happy to see this album to do damn well

[@Turk_2023]

They should do another immediately

[@bobot1981]

Marky's a riot. Here's a microphone. I'll use it sometimes, and other times I won't. And you'll be able to hear me fine whether I hold it to my mouth or not.

[@ThaiThom]

Their Cliff Burton era is their only era I really like, but I do like "Justice." Their 80s stuff is where it's at.

[@willmartins168]

The last one. I don’t consider the ‘5 minute Ramones’ real...or CJ, to be honest-even though he seems like a great guy.

you have to sleep with lars tonight XD

[@rosiewhitfield123]

When the guys were not mega known and a young band.

[@harijsarajs1060]

Hetfield: "We don't wanna be a legacy band that relies only on their catalogue" Marky: "Right..." Funniest thing I've seen all year.

[@chriskolb3105]

Harijs Arajs The Ramone made new records all the way until they split, and Hetfield (who was a close friend of Johnny when Johnny retired and moved to LA) knows this, unlike you.

[@seymourbutts7398]

There should be a thing where james hetfield just reads a nutritional label or street signs or some random things because it would still sound fucking cool and deep and meaningful and inspiring to me...

[@WyLdXxHeLlFiRe]

Wtf. Am I the only one who sees James face when the guy says "you're on top, no you're on bottom"

[@Fantasybabe]

i've seen that too xDD.. but i dont know what i should think about this XD

[@NeepThePeep]

timestamp? lol

[@SomeoneElse-]

"the guy"? It's fucking Marky Ramone. Or are you talking about someone else, I haven't watched the video yet lol

[@Ado1271]

Elijah De Luna At first this "guy" is legendary Mark Ramone! Second thing is that he said:" You're on the top now he's on the bottom" which probably means that James is sleeping on top of that bed which I really don't know how it's named and Lars is sleeping on bottom on this big bed. Because if you heard what James said before this moment than you can clearly understand about what was Marky talking.

[@mykylc]

"the guy". LOL!

[@mohdrizal5416]

When legend meet legend..i like both..Hey Ho Let's go...Yeahhhh

[@TheLotusManFILMs.]

That guy on the left as such a great sense of humour.

[@DaPoopIsInDaPudding]

The proof is in that wig alone.

[@Turk_2023]

Metallica should immediately get back into the studio and do another while they are still under 60 years old....People bought the album, so that should be motivation to do another.

[@indiangiver]

Go Marky

[@jimobrien5575]

Just take this as it is....a gift from the rock gods.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

"we don't want to be a legacy act, relying on the back catalog". That's funny because that's the path Marky chose. After the Ramones broke up, Marky had a band called the Intruders that made 2 albums of originals, one of which was produced by Lars from Rancid. They were a good late 90's punk act IMO. Then he had another band called the Speedkings. These days he's in the Blitzkrieg that just play Ramones hits... they used to have Michael Graves (former Misfits) and they did one or two originals, but Mark has basically decided to only play Ramones songs. My take is that it's for financial reasons. He can basically hire session musicians and not pay anyone very much, and get the maximum turnout for the gigs.

[@SPGRAMPA1]

It was a great album And these guys are not done I see them playing unto there 60s

[@JamesHetfield-hz9ed]

The accents James, the accents !

[@hellbenderdesign]

Can we see Jason Newsted interviewed by Marky's wig?

[@amandakohler8810]

Hey, we in upstate NY would LOVE for y'all to come up here and write!!! There are some amazing places in the Adirondack mountains.

[@BennyArnoo]

In my eyes Metallica are the 2nd greatest Rock band in history. If I wasn't Australian they would be the first. But of course my number 1 spot will always be held by AC/DC (Ronald Scott) era but Brian is a Legend too.

[@Spongebob-lf5dn]

1UglyMother Fuker Eh. How when there isn't as much diversity in AC DC

[@BennyArnoo]

They were played more than Metallica over my crib I suppose.

“You have to sleep with Lars tonight” lmao

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

But... Did the album kick ass?...

[@cfjelde]

What made you want to do another album is a great question. The extended time between albums with bands is exposing a sad lack of passion for creation. And when you put out an album every 6-8-10 years....you have to live up to the time. Was it worth that wait?

[@MiguelPaulettePerez-bj8ml]

I wish that James was telling the truth.... it's pushing 6 years since Hardwired at this point.

Nice wig, Marky ;)

[@GustavoRamires]

Em espanhol ajudaria mas em italiano não entendo nada.

[@futureskeletons66669]

Metallica should've stuck with their guns in the 00's. Even if it didn't sell, they would've found favor again, but now we have Load/Reload/St Anger which all speak to a confidence crisis.

[@leahflower9924]

James looks like the middle aged bad boy character they would use in lifetime or other women movies

Guys I don’t know if you noticed, but, that new album, kicks ass.

The wig.

[@Axl_Pose]

James should've asked Marky if he still thought the covers Metallica did for the Ramones tribute was still a cash grab.

[@morsteen]

They are a legacy band, whether they know it or not. And they dont even do their legacy justice. No pun intended.

[@J-Ball]

Love Marky, but man he fucked this up. Look at James face when Marky mentions top & bottom bunks. You know he was thinking about Cliff's death . Was probably a little creeped out too. It's obvious Marky never heard of METALLICA until the night before , jeez man.

[@jimmyrose7843]

JASON yeah...

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

Well that's not literally true, since they toured together (Lollapolooza '96), but yeah, Mark is obviously no Metallica historian.

[@MattySOP]

Can you elaborate? I feel like James started it by saying "you have to sleep with Lars tonight"...can you explain?

[@coldbastard6859]

[@rockeee]

James 'We don't want to become a legacy band, playing the hits' Also James: 'Yeah, during lockdown let's go on Howard Stern, Jimmy Kimmel and just play Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters. Play 'Blackened' acoustic..' He also says, they have their HQ..they've jammed 3 studio albums worth in 20 years. 🤷‍♂️ I love Metallica, but there's times I don't get some things.
