A million people have told Hetfield they love his songs but it’s a world of difference when a musical icon and one of the best song writers says it and you can see that in his reaction. James likely views Elton on another level musically and was stunned by his praise. It doesn’t matter what genre of music you’re into, musicians have a lot of respect for Elton John.

@jamiegill2640 Год назад

Elton isn't a song writer. His writer is/was Bernie Taupin. Elton just played and sang the songs. Some of the best songs ever written. But Elton is spot on in saying "Nothing Else Matters" is one of the best songs ever written 👌

@ElSantoLuchador Год назад

Musicians are different. They can hear good music across all genres because they have an ear for it. Genre means sht to them. James knows that. A compliment from one great musician to another probably means more to him than 10 million admiring fans.

Being the frontman in the most successful metal band in the world and still tearing up when Elton John compliments you on a song, written 30 years ago. It goes to show how untouched by fame James is nowadays.

0:56 Love James' reaction. You can really tell how he feels hearing one of the greatest performers ever say his song is one of the best!

This has to be one of the most genuine, emotional moments I have ever seen on the Howard Stern show. Look at James' face. This is cool as hell. I can't say anything else. Makes me emotional just to watch it.

Elton is actually a talented piano, even if you don't necessarily appreciate his music.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen James Hetfield tear up before, ‘til I saw this clip, the way he places his hand on his forehead hearing Elton John praising their song tells you how much those words meant for him

@agerven Год назад

Well, simply great! i love both Elton John and Metallica. Both have been with us a long way, both are still standing, both are all about emotion and fun. What more can you want?

@authorrayrogers 2 года назад

To see Metallica starstruck is really something. To see James emotional because THE Elton John said he wrote one of the greatest songs of all time is SO great as a long time fan. Metallica has been a major influence on me musically and in life, so to see them getting the recognition they richly deserve, and from one of the legends of popular music no doubt, is a real thrill. LONG LIVE METALLICA!

@domachh Год назад

Just look at James, that emotion what came of him when Elton says that, speaks for itself. James have such a great persona, even today. Sit's liek little kid when teacher have something to say. Amazing artist all of them!

@bryinthe6197 2 года назад

I read an article a long time ago about James's favorite songs and was shocked that two of them are by Elton John. To have one of your songwriting heroes give your song the ultimate compliment must be a life changing moment.
