JAMES HETFIELD REACTION WHEN FANS THROW BOTTLES ON STAGE LIVE (2023)  

stupid people exist, sad but true. ; )

That or hurting someone else just enjoying themselves.

Simple man, they have been disappointed by the performers. Art industry is harsh. People love you when you do good and dont care if you are not upto the mark. Its a blessing to be in shoes of audience than to be a superstar most of the times

​@@santoshnanduri Well monkeys fling shit too.

Well said!! Well said!

Why do people still act like Axl is the same person he was 30 years ago?

@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202 that's what I want to know too bro

😂

He would have cancelled next 5 shows.

​@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202because it was his signature move to increase their demands

good

i think it was in 97 or 98, jason was knocked out on stage with a bottle, so yeah

The other question is how did someone sneak in a bottle of Jack Daniels?

@@jeffgomez88 it was the 90s, overall security at places was more lax

@@CarimboHanky I actually worked security at the same concert venue. We checked every single person that came into the Colosseum. We used hand held metal detector wands and scanned from head to toe, front and back and looked in every purse and bag. We were mostly looking for weapons and alcohol. I confiscated lots of bottles of alcohol as did every guard at the other entrances. Yet I was always amazed at the number of empty bottles on the floor after every concert.

Pricks!!!

You the hell fab

Himself, for the last 30 years

smh

un ultra fan de megadeth

This

Right. They must stop throwing bottles.

Throwing stuff is a fairly good way to get your backside stomped at a concert.

Oh BS

Throwing bottles is a dangerous and foolish behavior, and it's even worse when people throw them when they're full. I remember during Evanescence's opening for Metallica in 2012, there were fans who threw bottles filled with urine at the lead singer. It was disrespect and disgusting.

Mosh Pits. When the mosh starts, people who have plastic goblets in hands for drinking just before the show just let them fall on the floor, and they get kicked during the mess at the people aside the Mosh pit who doesn't like this. So they pick them back and throw it back in the mosh pit, but often too hard and it sometime gets to reach the front barrier. You also have some people from behind or aside the Mosh Pits who just throw their half emptied goblet of beer inside the mosh pit just to splash people they just view as a pack swine brawling on each others. Sometime, they don't aim good. I know this because I'm a die hard metal head who listens to hundred of brutal bands, I've been in countless mosh pits during the inside number of Death metal or Thrash Metal concerts I've been in (including the one you see in this video), and I've seen this happen all the time...

@@BabyDiamond18 Dude, I literally was at the show you see on this video and got splashed over by a goblet filled with beer while moshing during For Whom the Bell Tolls. I'm just trying to explain you how things actually are during a Thrash metal concert.

I can't imagine paying all that money to see Meturdica only to have Jane Hatefilled make fun of Layne Staley for his addiction and then watch Jane get mad at someone when someone throws a shoe at him for making fun of another addict.

@pigGRAY Fun fact: James and Layne were friends. Years after, there's video proof of those guys ribbing each other back and forth. Would you like to be my next muppet?

@@Fister_of_Muppetsyeah, Layne and Jane were definitely friends in life. Both bands were really good friends. Same with AIC and Slayer. I just thought that James pretending to shoot while crying "it huuurrrrts" was not a move a friend would make. Heck, Jane had his own demons and still struggles with them. Mikes "uncut" bass should've said "Friends don't let friends riducule each other". imfao

What's even funnier, is that tools like you full of childish comments, still keep coming back to Metallica videos to make said childish comments!! You really need to find something better to do with your time, like feeding yourself to a crocodile or something!!

@pigGRAY In fairness, James was probably drunk when he said that on stage. I love James, these days I find him matured, wise, sober. But I can admit that his comments were ill-advised, which is odd because it's one of the only times on stage that James said something even remotely controversial, ironically 10 years later he went to rehab himself, so I'm sure he would never poke fun at that now.

wtf are you talking about? 1. you don't know the age of the people who threw the bottles and 2. people would throw way worse shit back in the 80s and 90s but it was fine then?

Are you ok ?

Old school, New school , it dosent matter. What matters is that a band ( I love & payed well to see up front ) is walkin off stage because of some asshole and now my money is down the drain. Thats enough reason right there ( for anyone ) to bust someone's ass.

what.

HELL YEAH HOSS TELL THOSE LIB WOOSSIES WHO THE BOSS GOD BLESS HOG CRANKIN

Damn, which show was that?

@@Poutrel Jacksonville FL saint anger tour

​@@michaelklingenberg7872 nice

I was at that show in Jacksonville. I remember James just staring right at the guy.

Was this in Jackson Mississippi by chance. I was at one in Jackson and James almost got hit and stopped the show and told the audience to grab the next person to throw something and bring them to the stage so James could kick their ass. He was pissed!

I was at one in the early 90s and James almost got hit by a Jack Daniels bottle. He stopped the show and told the audience to grab the next person that threw something so he could kick their ass. He was pretty pissed, I couldn’t blame him. They can’t really see something until it is right at them because of the lighting.

step on that feather weight bottle and you'll twist your ankle, especially if you aren't expecting it at an older age.

pershaps the bottles were unopened / sealed, so hetfiled can have a ddrink from a fan?

Metallica concerts are some of the best I’ve ever been to. I was at one in the 90s when James almost got hit by an emptyJack Daniels bottle. He stopped the music and told the audience to grab the next person to throw something so he could have a chance to kick their ass.

I saw WASP the same year and someone threw a huge bowie knife at Blackie Lawless .. it was only a flesh wound that needed stitches, luckily .... That kinda stuff is just dumb, and not funny in the slightest. Rock on, guys!

You from Southern California? Long Beach Arena was a great venue in the 70s and 80s

that wood hurt a foam cusion

I heard an interview just yesterday with Lars on a Conan O'Brians podcast where he said the band had to pay for those destroyed seats and anything else destroyed at a venue. I was surprised that was the case but he sounded totally sincere.

I was there brother. The last good tour and album they ever had. It all when down hill when they chopped their balls off on the Black album. That Long Beach show was off the wall... specially when the water fall of fans jumped off the balcony. After that it was a cushion throw fest... awesome gig.

where did they get a pig’s head from? how was that smuggled in😂

Reminds of Ozzy biting the head off of a bat like how did they get a live bat in the concert in the first place?

sure you would fan girl

One more thing to add to the list of things that won't happen.

...and then youd be crying in jail. SLOWLY clapping for you. Theyre plastic bottles.

I was at that show the shit flying down was insane.

Is there a video of it

Then you'd bribe somebody at the door with a fat joint to let you back in.

Usually the real fans would just stomp the s$&! out of you after pointing you out to security. Then hand you over as a bruised mess to be hauled out.

l remember someone chucked a flare at Motorhead at Donington,Lemmy was'nt impressed. A plastic container is not as bad as a crushed metal can used as a frishbee at a concert. Fukin go to an opera if you want genteel. Not lived if you not had a plastic bottle off piss land on your head😂 To busy,fliming on your phone,to show your mates. Rant over😂

BAD NEWS, haha 😄 😆 😅 🤣 😂

I have heard that Dez is not a man to cross and get onto the bad side of.

Its at an outdoor stadium, and its still bright outside in the Summer evening when the gigs start. As the show goes on, it darkens. Gig starts at about 8pm, something like that whennits still bright.👍

Roadhouse

Eh, more like kick ass in the 80s but sell outs ever since.

@@heywoodjablowme8120 still, that doesn't make them any less professional. And even if they "sold out", their music is the 90's kicked ass *(p.s. Load is my favourite album of theirs)* , and their newer stuff does as well. Come on now, call me a poser, a fake metalhead. Come on, I'm waiting.

@@pavlosrousiamanis Pfft...I was raised on their hard stuff. And justice for all....was the start of the decline. They hired Bob Rock to get radio air play and make them sound more mainstream. I heard it and thought they sold out then. The Black album, of course I bought it but thought it sucked and I chucked it because this wasn't Metallica. They bitched and moaned about Napster while being multi millionaires while bands like Pearl Jam encouraged fans recording their concerts without acting like dicks. Probably treated Jason like crap so he bailed. They cut their hair ....sell out. After Black I knew they weren't coming back . Bro if you heard Kill en All, Ride the Lightening, Master of Puppets and Garage Days.....all their later crap is just that. Slow, polished, made for the mainstream. That was never Metallica. They all could of died on that bus with Cliff and they'd still be gods. Today they're rich old men, trying to fool people thinking they still rock when they really just need to stop because they suck ass. That's my opinion. They've been dead to me for decades. Still love the fast and fast stuff, not the watered down bubble gum Debbie Gibson shit. Metal up your ass....used to be the bands motto, and actually a toilet with a sword sticking straight up was supposed to be the album cover for Kill em but the record company said no. I metal head loving LOAD..... laughing my ass off. Dude those sounds will never enter through my ears because I can tell you it ain't for me, but if it works for you....... WHIPLASH!!!

Correction. Imbeciles with untreated mental illness have been throwing bottles for decades.

The only thing i saw flying in Hamburg was a soccer ball/football.

Right! I recognized it immediately 😂

3 died at donningron in 1988 asshole.

yeah i no i was there 87 91 92, they hqad great band on 87 appart from metalica were not my cup of tea

the bottles were filled with urine i got peed on a few times i brought 2 loafs of bread hollowed out with 2 disposal cameras only to find out you were aloud to bring cameras

These are not bottles but plastic beer cups

Theyre plastic.

They're plastic water bottles.

Facts

What is your point? Of course they play for money.
