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.
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.
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. 😉🤘
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
I respect James so much more, after seeing this. He gave that kid a tremendous amount of respect, with his time and honest answers, while genuinely embracing his rather goofy and childish questions/presentation. Simply, it seems like he "got it" & really had fun 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
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 ...
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.
This kid is a very good interviewer. His astuteness, timing, ability to listen, and ask questions based on what he last heard is something I don’t see in many adults.
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!
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.
I appreciate how James is so nervous throughout the entire interview, his nervous repositioning and hand movements tells me he a super humble guy and still a kid at heart. Great dude and interview.

My God 5:43 where James would like to have Cliff back. I cried. So genuine. Cliff Burton was a master piece into Metallica and as well into rock, heavy metal, trash. Miss him a lot. Great interview.
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.
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
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 👍👊
Met James once in Detroit...my impression of that A down to earth, cool, regular guy who has a dream he has not yet lived all the way through yet. We didnt talk about music or him being a rockstar, instead we chatted about every day things. A great dude!
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.
James seems so at ease, like he actually wants to be here. He looks like he's having a bit of fun. Maybe he trusts that a kid won't put him in a tough spot with tricky questions that can be interpreted wrongly. We need more kid interviewers!! Good job Elliot 😃
@@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.

That is the best interview I’ve seen with James. Not just saying, the best. Such an honest, laid back down to earth interview. Revealed a lot more about James than I seen before.... that’s saying something. GREAT JOB with the interview little fella 👍 Thanks for a great interview.
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.
Its pretty cool to have watched James over the past 35 years and is a perfect example of seeing someone evolve and grow. While I loved angry pissed off young James back in the day. Its nice to see the mature experienced fatherly version too.

Someone told me Metallica is satanic I said bullshit no he is a great guy he reminds me of Tom Arya the songs can be dark but they are nice Christian guys
5:41 I always felt that James never got over Cliff's death, and that a lot of songs til this day are actually based on the fact that he misses him and that his death left a huge scar in James' soul. Songs like Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me, Until It Sleeps, Frayed etc etc for me personally always seemed to be an attempt to try to deal with this absolute trauma that James' experienced and never managed to deal with ... but thats just me.
It is impossible to not like James. He may be a larger than life man in a larger than life band, but he's still incredibly down to earth and relatable.
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 love this so much!! I was at this show, waiting patiently for 'Tallica to hit the stage. The best interview!! That kid is super adorable and James Hetfield, my god, the coolest guy ever. Fix Cliff Burton, I love that. So sweet. Brought a tear to my eye...
Full disclosure: I watch a lot of TH-cam performances, interviews with people in all musical genres. This interview is better than 95% of the stuff available to view. I felt part of the conversation, James and the young man interviewing him are awesome. Will visit this channel again!
Such a great sport. James Hetfield in this interview should be an inspiration to any musician or aspiring musician on how to act with fans. He makes the kid feel so comfortable and doesn't let it drag with awkward silences like so many interviews by adult amateurs do. Thank you, James. You do a great job, unintentionally or not, of showing people that Rock and Roll, Metal, celebrity, and mistakes in life don't mean you have to be an asshole. You freaking ROCK!
James is one of my favorite rock stars when it comes to doing interviews. He's comfortable with doing interviews like these and he doesn't seem annoyed by silly questions kids ask. He's also able to talk to them in a way they can understand :)
Amazing how James is always looking to find out more about people he comes across, rather than elevating himself even with this little guy. Love his humility and genuine approach to life and people.
Great job on this interview! James is such a good soul. I met him briefly years ago and he was very approachable and cool. His sobriety seems to have changed his life in many positive ways.
I love how James talks to him like he's an adult and doesn't talk down to him, seems like a really good guy and you can tell he's been through many life experiences good and bad

James Hetfield is easily one of the best musicians out there. He is a great riff writer, guitar player and has a great personality.
Today he has a awesome personality! The first five albums he was a pissed off jerk! And I still loved him!

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
This interview is golden. James, you've come a LONG way brother!!!
It is impossible to not like James.
He may be a larger than life man in a larger than life band, but he's still incredibly down to earth and relatable.
More kids this age need to listen to metal.
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. 😁
James is a legend, how can you not respect him.
It's so wholesome to see a guy like James being a bit nervous and shy.
I broke down when he said bring Cliff back....
"Oh he hears me , i know he hears me"
Very Beautiful !
This is less an interview and more a conversation. It's great to watch. Very lucky to have got to interview him 🤘
i love that he was willing to do this with a kid! awesome
I love this so much!! I was at this show, waiting patiently for 'Tallica to hit the stage. The best interview!! That kid is super adorable and James Hetfield, my god, the coolest guy ever. Fix Cliff Burton, I love that. So sweet. Brought a tear to my eye...
Full disclosure: I watch a lot of TH-cam performances, interviews with people in all musical genres. This interview is better than 95% of the stuff available to view. I felt part of the conversation, James and the young man interviewing him are awesome. Will visit this channel again!
This is by far the best Hetfield interview I've ever seen, was so funny to watch! Thanks for doing this
Such a great sport. James Hetfield in this interview should be an inspiration to any musician or aspiring musician on how to act with fans. He makes the kid feel so comfortable and doesn't let it drag with awkward silences like so many interviews by adult amateurs do. Thank you, James. You do a great job, unintentionally or not, of showing people that Rock and Roll, Metal, celebrity, and mistakes in life don't mean you have to be an asshole. You freaking ROCK!
Straight pimp
James says “my son is a really good drummer” Lars- extreme sweating noises
James is one of my favorite rock stars when it comes to doing interviews. He's comfortable with doing interviews like these and he doesn't seem annoyed by silly questions kids ask. He's also able to talk to them in a way they can understand :)
5:45 - shit, a litte kid gets James to open up more than most other interviewers
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.
I get a feeling of goodness from James. I feel as though he's a lot deeper than he shows.
Man, can you imagine James Hetfield being your grandpa? 9:40
I kinda want him to be my grandpa
That would be fucking awesome.
_cries_
I Wish.
He'd Be Called Grandpa Het.
"If you could fix one thing in the world, what would it be?" The snare in St. Anger
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?
What a humble man. You can tell he really enjoys this interview.
Man this interview is SO HEAVY and I love how he’s talking to him but also us at the same time
Amazing how James is always looking to find out more about people he comes across, rather than elevating himself even with this little guy. Love his humility and genuine approach to life and people.
I like how this little dude brings out the innocence in adults. Same questions by an adult in an adult environment would yield different responses.
I really think James is a genuinely good hearted person. Very well articulated too. Great interview!
Great job on this interview! James is such a good soul. I met him briefly years ago and he was very approachable and cool. His sobriety seems to have changed his life in many positive ways.
I love how James talks to him like he's an adult and doesn't talk down to him, seems like a really good guy and you can tell he's been through many life experiences good and bad
Lol the one time where James isn't mad at the interviewer
