JAMES HETFIELD of METALLICA talks being nervous, farts, family, missing Cliff Burton 

henrygoeggel That's because he didn't go to college for journalism

he is a pro in my opinion.

Totally true - way more interesting questions than the normal annoying music journalist.

if you guys want, you can Check out a few of my Videos on my Channel.

henrygoeggel I

Justin Brooks same my eyes started to watering

lol..... yeah i agree

Yanno Dave misses him too. I feel like Cliff was just a great guy in general.

If one knows exactly how much of a brotherhood bond that James and Cliff had, and you don't get choked up even just a little bit, there's something wrong with you.

I'm not crying...I'm not crying...

i know right

That's a perfect analogy of what happened to me

Dad: why are you crying so damn loud! Me: Cliff!!!!! Dad: In that case I'll come join you

That one got me in the feels, too...damn 😢

Agreed!

Preach 🙏

🙏🙏

Gospel Lady! preach...

power of music unites 🤘🎶💓

James should know by now that his music inspired / saved so many of us.

Little punk people: do you think heaven exist James drunk as hell: you said what

James would have said "what is that in your hand"

Yes cliff Burton

Even in the 80s Big Foot would be part of the discussion.

Are you fuckin nuts tonight ??

Yoo me too after hearing that thr goosebombs is all over me

Fuckin hit me hard man. He really loved Cliff.

Yak bir sigara...

🤧🤧🤧

Just like C418’s Sweeden

Absolutely

Unless your a Megadeth fan

Hes VERY admirable. It's tough for some guys to truly mature.....(I speak from experience lol) but Het had it really.....really really tough. And he didnt really have the safety net and support of parents. And hes a rock star so...the temptations were always around, compounding the struggle...and he has the darkness. Everybody knows about that. But he did it. And he survived. Most admirable and deserving of great praise.

Jd Dehl I am, but I like Megadeth and Metallica a lot

Couldn’t agree more, genuine great human being. One of the good ones

He's 57 haha.

And he is a dad already 😂

I feel like that's just how he is.

Hes 76

@@balkee42 no, he is 126

The thing that should not be would be my response...but mars ulrich is fucking good too

I was thinking that

Larstallica crossed my mind indeed

now on rehab

akd cdb lol I was about to reply that

@@ivenalanko2462 now he's out of rehab

@@AniW2x4 now he's again there

Reminds me of what Dave grohl said at Lemmy's funeral

Alan Sanchez Tirado Haaaa! Nice! I honestly believe thought that Cliff would have the utmost respect for Rob and would be his biggest fan... And the start his own legendary band and play right alongside Metallica. 😉🤘

I murdered my own sentences. You get the gist. 🙃

Alan Sanchez Tirado Honestly Cliff is wayyyyy better then Rob...

DWD Wizard well... The styles are drastically different. Too drastic for comparison. I'm sure they could play the same songs note for note. But they'd still sound different

Even better.. two basses

I never felt so sad for someone I never knew personally.

You "forgot" typing "(still)". When I`m dead, 1st I do buying the next 2 records of, that never happend in Sept. 86and Cliff did continued his job... ...and the next 2 ACDC records as well! 😎 1980s ...

Bring back Cliff, and Bon Scott of AC/DC. 2 legends

I can hear his voice saying * that’s a tough question man “

I agree with him on that, I carry one every where I go not even for self protection, but for the handiness of it, I actually carry a leatherman

i completely agree bring back the old days when you used to have a pocket knife on you and you did cool shit with it

@@williamschaaf3981 hehe.. who doesn't in this day and age. i also have a leatherman also.. fuck self protection, who even talks about that anymore let alone be able to protect yourself with a knife that conversation is now redundant of course, the only reason you carry a knife now is because it's cool and comes in handy as fuck when you least expect it

Every time they play in socal aliens show up.

@Scott Williams ........Respect

Yea I remember having an epiphany like that lol In high school. Sitting on the bus, watching things go by, daydreaming. I was like, man if I can imagine it, it probably exists lol Somewhere, in some reality, some planet lol Some dimension. It exists lol Or I wouldn’t be able to think of it. Which btw, is probably true.

And yet John Lenon wrote, "Imagine there's no heaven..."

A man who had the idea of the country of the Jews (isreal) said that! אם תרצו אין זאת אגדה!(הרצל)

You think? 😉

Natasza Suarez Yeah, absolutely!

@@diana-cy4kj A lot of people don't like him and it's quite possible. This is an interview. You really thinks that he is 100% real in it? I don't.

Natasza Suarez Who cares?

@@diana-cy4kj You, becasue you're replaying to my comment 😂

Ali Raza great speaking voice

No Phil does

@@koxido Imagine Phil interviewing James.

Corey, Phil, James, all 3 are so nice to listen to talk

Corey Taylor

Me too, man

That's cuz you're a pleb.

As did mine.

Same

Everyone's eyes watered...

They probably saw it as "dis I like"

People really just dislike the Cutest & most Innocent of videos 😔

The Cliff Burton part genuinely made me cry. Even rewatching it, I still teared up.

@Olivia Waliga Green Day...a . milk toast schmuck band

Eet fuk

Tony Hawk beats him

@@kaiser7695 yeah but Tony Hawk's fingers wish he would grow up. Did you see the x-ray of how he snapped a couple in half recently?

WELL PUT♥️

So true. This guy is well traveled and has come out on the right side after a long road of crap. I admire him a lot. Would love to meet him

Fullmetal Norik . What’s up with the profile picture?

@@luvittodeath7031 He obviously likes it...What else would be up with it?

exactly man... such an easy going person

Belle Starr Him as well as Kirk. Love those two 💜

Exact same answer for me. Tom seems cool, humble and a great sense of humor. I could watch video interviews with him all day long.

To me, still weird seeing a full sleeved Hetfield; always wondered why he had no ink in my youth

I'd like to drink a beer with Fenriz !

Nightmare13 Yeah he is really unclely.

I used to refer to him as Uncle Het. This was before I knew he was called Papa Het sometimes. I used to describe him to my dad as that one cool uncle at the family gatherings

One thing I hate about interviews is when the interviewer talks over constantly the one there interviewing like well- did you- how- why- well- and the other person can barley talk etc but interviewers like this kid are perfect!

Today he has a awesome personality! The first five albums he was a pissed off jerk! And I still loved him!

Ramy Adawi I wouldn't say he's one of the best musicians but I too love his personality

Ramy Adawi you're right he isn't 1 of the best he is the best!

Kenny Campbell Jr definitely not

Ramy Adawi he's the greatest musician of all time. I'm not changing my mind so flame me all you want you fucks

Don't say that. You should love your dad Unless if he went out for a pack of cigarettes

Don't say that if ur father isn't a bad guy. Don't make him sad, love ur dad.Trust me u will be regretfull otherwise.

@@ylst8874 I have a great relationship with my dad, i was saying this more like how i think James is a cool guy rather than saying i don't like my dad

@@dclikemtndew Ok great !

Imagine having a dad lol 😂 😭

James Maresca I completely agree. I can't imagine late 80's-early 90's Hetfield doing this (but I could be wrong). He seems like a real nice guy.

Philip Mathew....no he wouldn't have. I met him back in the day and they were all asses except Jason Newsted. I'm guessing time has made him nicer.

stop pestering threads Jason !

Yeah he is great with this kid, Tom from Slayer was great with him also.

You sir have my respect!

Every status suits to him

He always wanted to be a patriarch.

Lol

No. Now he has

David Perrotti yes but more metal

One day ges grandpa Het

James is so much cooler and brave for literally being 100% real and honest with this kid. I mean, James brought up death, Cliff to bring him back. What other Public figure would have the balls to say whatever he thinks and be 100% honest......they would be afraid if they say something wrong, but not James.

Mine too! Thank god for convos about farts. LOL!

Dave?

@@sassaniandynasty3796 No, Dave and James are good friends now. When James reached out during to Dave during his battle with cancer he even said he loves him. Megadeth fans are another story though.

What is the keyword for your profile picture? Looks kinda cool

@@gcat7145 Search "Metallica M logo" on Google Images.

@@Omar_E11 Yeah I have tons of M logo in me. But haven't found that avengers looking M. thanks anyway

Marco Vargas Very good point. You are absolutely right.

Yes!

yES

Hell yeah he does 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

MARCOS VARGAS YOU RE RIGHT BRO. JAMES AND METALLICA ARE THE BEST MEDICINE FOR ME. AND HE IS A VERY GOOD MAN I SEE IN THIS INTERVIEW TOO. RESPECT FOR YOU AND FOR ALL THE PEOPLE 👍👊

The side of him that cranks out great songs with great lyrics peeping through.

@@epictetusofhierapolis4461 like what song?

@@LibertyFixxxer all unforgivens

When I`m dead, 1st I do buying the next 2 records of, that never happend in Sept. 86and Cliff did continued his job... ...and the next 2 ACDC records as well! 😎 1980s ...

Well he is a veteran dad and soon to be grandad (damn how time flies)

Tom Tom cause they're innocent. not out to screw over for themselves...

Tom Tom Yeah I think it's because this interviewer actually wants to know the answers, for himself, not just for the internet.

Throwing out Testament props !!

Yeaah, bring on Chuck Billy if he's down for an interview! They won for a video at the Native American Music Awards a few years back, 2012? Cool video. People kind of criticized them early on for being copycat Metallababies, but you could say that of most early 80s thrash. Any time there's a forerunner in a genre, all bands take a little time to find their comparative stride and sound. And at the time, one could choose the vein of Slayer or Metallica. Death went the Slayer route. Sepultura and Testament sort of went the Metallica vein via more punk influence.

Vedran Anovski I love the way James laughs XD

Hey Lars's wig. I'm a big fan. Where did lars hide you?

@@MewhentheAAAA Lars didn't hide me, I'm hiding _from_ Lars. So I can't tell you, or anyone where I am.

@@larsswig912 ah. Ok. I hope he doesn't find you

james is adorable 2 🥺

@@larsswig912 wanna hide together?

i know what ur trying to say but plz edit trash out lol

Osama NotGonnaPutMaLastName he meant thrash

@@loudtowncar fart

Legit teared up wasn’t expecting that

James has said in a few interviews that, Cliff made James a true musician. James has always been so thankful for having the luck of, Cliff being around James.

If Jesus touched me, I would die.

@Benjamin Giancotti I don't have any hair dumb irritating fucking dick

Benjamin Giancotti why don’t you shut up if they don’t wanna was their bald head then they can do that so why don’t u stop digging into other peoples shit after all it was probably a joke

Benjamin Giancotti it was a joke how can u not see that

Reply section fight hell yeah

A lot of people do, bud

RickGrimes41 it's really sexy ;)

sobster123 xD yeah

***** ;P even dudes on this post think so!! 🤘

RickGrimes41 Same

Chief3hairs ❤️

Chief3hairs best comment on here. hell, almost made me cry. thanks

Chief3hairs best comment on here ❤

Chief3hairs I was thinking the same thing 😃

Top comment

He's a great interviewer. And James is such a cool guy. Little dude handled meeting James a hell of a lot better than I would.

@@tygranharrock9044 it's because kids have no shame and no filter. As we grow up, we continue to worry about what others think of us more and more.

Indeed, he took this more seriously than a regular interview. That's what made this for me.

Every major and minor Metallica videos You just happens to be there looool

He should have told James to play fixxxer

When I met James in 91 he wasn't so nice

Tears...

James can play drums too.

Lars focking leaves the band and James goes to his son and says "so, kiddo, want a job in Metallica?"

Well I don't know how good his son is if he thinks Lars is a great drummer....

@@willgregg1076 i know, I've watched concert's of james and Lars having drum competition's, and i think james is actually a better drummer than lars.

@@AniW2x4 Seeing how poorly modern rock bands are doing in the scene, compared to the giants, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the next big thing was metallica gen.2 where the guys kids just pick up and continue from where the guys left.

He got Papa Het

If he had the mustache then he might have been "hetfield"

JD me too

Me too dude

Me too. ❤️

Everyone does.

Michelle Jones HAAAAA! GAY

Mike Ball It's good to talk about these things. Can't hold that stuff in. I know how ya feel though. They'll all be back together some time, just in a different spectrum of light.

It does. I'm glad they've opened up about it so much now. They kinda just tucked it away for the longest time. Was hard as a huge Cliff fan not getting to know much about him.

unless you are actually older, and your mother held you behind to throw off your ego. Were you always the biggest kid in class?

What about shortest straw? I heard they drew straws for kirks bed?

You never really get over someone's death when they're so close to you.

@@Snoopdave2000 they were cards

xabun you are very true but Until it sleeps is actually about james mother dying from cancer

@@order66dotexe - agreed, especially when they were a bunk or 2 over from your bunk

I kinda want him to be my grandpa

That would be fucking awesome.

_cries_

I Wish.

He'd Be Called Grandpa Het.

A*Jack aggressively horrible

Cats being raped sounds better. If a proper snare had been used, St. Anger could of been a nice album to listen to.

lmfao!!

so original lmao

The bass in And Justice For All?

Metal with lyrics you can actually understand.

President Trump I listen to a little metalcore like As I Lay Dying, for some reason they are the only I like. Im more of a classic metal guy myself, like Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and of course Metallica. The guitar riffs and solos are so in your face...I love it.

I’ve been doing my best to indoctrinate my kids who are 10 and 11. My daughter isn’t having it, but I’ve got high hopes for my son. 😁
