just imagine what goes through his head the moment he hears the first notes of Ecstacy Of Gold, all the history, the ups, the downs, the blood, the sweat, the tears, the struggles, the victories, the deaths and then he takes all that and powers up to the task at hand. Very inspiring stuff to witness!
His band makes between four and six million dollars a night, he's probably thinking to himself: _"Should I buy me this black_ _Lamborghini tomorrow or_ _wouldn't it be better if I buy this_ _island in the Caribbean after 2 or_ _3 more shows"_ *🤔 ?*
@@stefankaiser3354 I bet he doesn't own one Lambo, Ferrari or Maserati. Just because the tune is about gold doesn't mean he is thinking materially. Some of you are so basic. Jeez!
@@chaosandorderstudioi think Kirk mentikned that Rob’s bass tech is the longest tech in the band. (at the Ross Halfin Q;A where Kirk and Rob showed up)
@@dociebiemowie915Maybe because you met him during a bad day. He may have been a jerk towards you because he was having a bad day. Your day affects your mood. He isn’t a jerk genuinely. We all have our jerk moments
@@eliasbarnes3710 I was a late bloomer in 1992 but immediately became obsessed. I watched Cliff em all on VHS probably 50 times when I was 13. We were lucky to grow up in a time when a box set like Binge and Purge was such a huge deal, and so amazing.
It's really somehow incredible to see this .. seems like such a private moment to James. And you clearly see the moment when he gets up and the vocalization starts in the song and he "switches" into his stage persona, encourages the fans around to sing along and starts the interaction with his tech/coach there. Really gets to me :)
yeah indeed Two different people.Just after the first notes kicked in he changed from regular James Hetfield to Papa Het in split second. And this moment when he prepared for intro and took his guitar.To me it feels like he is going to war and not on a stage. Obviously very special moment for him.Every single live show-different story.
after his last relapse i think James realized the gift he had truly been given (not that hed been taking it for granted) but i think the spectacle of it all really hit him, and when touring was possible again i dont think he ever takes a single concert lightly, you can see it when ecstasy starts, all those emotions coming in and out, only for him to lock in when his foot touches the main stage
They really love their fans! Amazing footage of James such a legend but they still get nervous after all these years because they are so passionate and don't want to screw up in font of zillions of people 💯
I have nothing but nice things to say about this man. James Alan Hetfield is my idol. I love this man more than I love myself, he brings me so much joy when I’m sad and he always makes me laugh. He has an adorable giggle and a cute smile, he’s just a handsome guy with a kind soul. Very down to Earth man. God Bless James ❤🙏🏻
Man this is such a great video, in the morning of the 26th of may a friend called me gave and asked if I wanna go to the show, he had one ticket left, and what can I say? one of the best Metallica shows
James is the man . I look up to this guy. I battle alcohol he has to and still goes and rips it. Much respect to you James and everyone else out there fighting any thing
This is so awesome. I had the chance to do the same thing. When James came by, and gave me his fist I didn’t wanna let go. when he came by the 2nd time he gave me a fake….elbow to the face motion. LOL. He’s an absolute LEGEND.PAPA HET 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love how no matter how many times he sees and hears the ecstasy of gold intro, he’s still smiling, singing along, getting the crowd to sing with him, but seeing him smile….so much love for papa het
Absolutely amazing moment, thank you for capturing this. Every Metallica fan will know in their bones what these final moments before a concert and the Ecstasy of Gold will mean to them. Seeing James interact with fans, chill out for a bit, ground himself, have a couple words with his guitar tech then head up on stage into Creeping Death is just so cool to see. What a legend!
Great video. Ecstasy Of Gold still gives me goosebumps after all these years. Got to see them at the Lyceum in 84 and few other times in the 80s, but Donington 85 with a big crowd, Ecstasy Of Gold was fuckin' amazing! Again, great video, this guy who is the same age as me is an international treasure.
Thanks for sharing. Come on, admit it... THIS is EVERY person's dream. Walking out to this type of "unified community", finding your own personal moment of focus on the task at hand, going out on that stage to that welcoming crowd, and then flawlessly delivering the goods... including much of it in the rain. A Pros Pro, period. If they can ever come up with a VR version of this walk-in and performance, as shown from James' perspective, I'm in!
Ich mag Hetfield immer noch sehr, er war mein Idol in der Jugend. Als Kill em All raus kam, war ich 14 Jahre und hab den Aufstieg von Metallica voll miterlebt und genossen. Leider konnte ich mich ab 1989 mit ihrer Musik nach And Justic for All nicht mehr identifizieren 😢. Eigentlich war Metallica für mich ab Master of Puppets nach dem Tot von Cliff Leider am Ende.
I like it.He sits in front of thousand people waiting for Metallica's concert.He is smoking,thinking about something.He even spits like a normal person. All this makes him human a lot.This is one of the reasons why i like JH so much.

From what I’ve heard in past interviews, is that when Ecstacy of Gold kicks in, it still to this day gets his adrenaline pumping. Which is awesome!

The guitar technician guy really knows how to put James in his place before the show. They must know each other for years.
Techs are the unsung heroes in rock music...
They have
It's with them for almost 40 years if I'm not wrong
Their basically brothers at this point. He’s been with them for yearssss
@@chaosandorderstudioi think Kirk mentikned that Rob’s bass tech is the longest tech in the band. (at the Ross Halfin Q;A where Kirk and Rob showed up)
What a down to earth man. After so many years, James is still the same music fanatic HUMAN like in the 80's.
💯
only now he has a snake leather vest and smokes cigars
He was always a jerk. Hasn’t changed.

💯
I remember interviewing him in 1985 and he said he would never sell out to stuff like this. well well well!!! ;)
Man/Myth/Legend, ... Chad Zaemisch!
This is call a Rockstar. Thx James for every riff you made !
It's so crazy watching him on VHS tapes being a child to this. Damn I feel old.
Same here, bro
I started listening to them in 1987 at 17 years old after hearing Garage Days.

me too , from that crispy gnarly old footage to HD ,its mad
Saw them at Monsters of Rock in Washington DC. 1988. Front row. Kirk Hammet was right in front of me.
I love the fact he's singing along to ACDC's "It's a long way to the top"
finally a HD video in horizontal direction!

James is a genuinely nice bloke. 👍

Being able to watch James Hetfield get psyched for the gig looks an amazing experience
This man is seriously one of the coolest people ever. He’s gotten so much more humble in his older age!

He’s said in past interviews that once the Ecstasy of Gold intro kicks in, it still gets him pumped and excited/nervous.
Thank you for recording horizontally❤
Ross Halfin getting those shots only he can get! Brilliant photographer.
he is also life partner of Kirk
What do you mean??
@@CS-ox9hn brokeback mountain
@@Suat_senocak No.
@@Suat_senocak mmm no
I grow up with their music in the 80's and 90's
I love them forever
Still the best opening anthem.. Always brings the goosebumps
Seems like a really genuine, humble and nice guy with true passion for what he does still. I like how real he is with the fans.
I have spewed anticipation MANY TIMES listening to the Ecstasy of Gold.
Best intro EVER... 🤘
That was beautiful.
Loved watching his pre-show ritual. A master getting in the zone.
Hetfield looks better now then when he was young. Great video. I see why he needs to centre himself in the middle of that whirlwind of people.
I agree. I’m glad that he’s still around, let alone willing and able to perform. It really was “touch and go” with him for a while.

Wie geil, die letzten Minuten vor dem Konzertstart! Mega
EXCELLENT...Thanks!
Thanks for this amazing footage! I was almost there man!
James is the man . I look up to this guy. I battle alcohol he has to and still goes and rips it. Much respect to you James and everyone else out there fighting any thing
ever present Ross Halfin taking pictures..that man is a legend in his own right
An unsung hero.
Geezus...I remember that name from 'Hit Parader' magazine in the 80s.
@@sstrick500 And Kerrang, he was one of their main photographers when it started!
❤❤❤amazing man right there❤❤❤
ï looked at the last minute literally with my mouth open in awe, old legend still keeps walking up to the stage!
Thanks for the love and support
Goosebumps, every time.
Yes! ...still loving this epic intro!
...timeless masterpiece! 😎
R.I.P. Ennio and TY!
This is a great perspective! Thank you!
Одна вот эта подготовка Хэта к шоу практически равнозначна самому шоу по эмоциям. Потрясающе абсолютно.
Абсолютно согласен 🤝
👍
I love this video so much. Incredible window into the preparation of James Hetfield pre-stage.
This like a UFC fighter coming out to his walkout music, getting in the mindset for a big fight. Cool to see.
Thank you James... Love from Texas
That was one of the coolest lil videos I have seen in a long time, let alone about Met/Papa James. 🤘🙌✌️
It's like a warm up for a football player,, James getting into the head space he needs. Amazing back stage footage :) ... daz fi Scotland
How cool seating, get to see them back stage and maybe chat or take a pic. Fantastic stuff.
ROCK ON
This is so awesome. I had the chance to do the same thing. When James came by, and gave me his fist I didn’t wanna let go. when he came by the 2nd time he gave me a fake….elbow to the face motion. LOL. He’s an absolute LEGEND.PAPA HET 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Наверно это безумное счастье вот так вот в паре метров находиться от Джеймса.
Creeping Death as the first song of the setlist after Ecstasy is always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
A legend. An absolute legend. How does he keep this up? Thank you to whoever gave us Metallica and James Hetfield!
I love how no matter how many times he sees and hears the ecstasy of gold intro, he’s still smiling, singing along, getting the crowd to sing with him, but seeing him smile….so much love for papa het
I love you James.❤️🤟😊
Thanks for the love and support
Great video, thanks bro!
🔥 METALLICA 🔥 💗JAMES 💗 incrivelmente fantástico cm o passar do tempo melhor ainda amoooo 🖤💥🎸
As a backliner I would hate so many people watching me while I do my job.

You know you're rock and roll when you use a cigar as a vocal warm up!!
Great!😍
Amazing ! Great video of the intro.
So very cool to see JH get in to the zone before stepping out on to that huge stage to rock out for three hours!

Never seen them in concert but omg these clips are epic..
❤ JAMES the heart and soul of Metallica, A legend !!
Rest in peace Ennio Morricone 💔 and thanks Metallica
After almost 30 years of being a fan , I can't help get emotional during this intro.
I'm not really a Metallica music fan, but I like how they are, very good feeling. Rn'R!
It’s a long way to the top…
…but Metallica did it.
Great James... in these few minutes there is all that means HEAVY METAL ... feelings, sweat, passion, heart, love and respect for fans ... wonderful !
De pie señores !!! ingresa el más grande !!!!

Just too cool
Il est super ce gars 🎉❤ j adore .. tjr un instant pour son public...

That Cigar move was amazing...what a legend James...🤘
This is so incredible!! What a hero!! James Hetfield is one of the true greats! Up there with the best of them imo!! 🤘

The moment Ecstacy of Gold came in, it felt like the whole universe -don't know how to say it- changed.
As a current alcoholic, I applaud a Papa Het
All I can say is : ❤
I like it.He sits in front of thousand people waiting for Metallica's concert.He is smoking,thinking about something.He even spits like a normal person.
All this makes him human a lot.This is one of the reasons why i like JH so much.

Larga vida Het, te Amo
He is a Great singer and handsam too i think❤❤❤❤❤
