Pretty sure if he wanted a talk show, he had it. Any day, any minute on any platform with anything remotely metal related. Guess it means the man's got better things to spend his time on. But yeah. He's good like that. too.
Daniel Foerster sweet man, does it come with esp pickups and guts? last time I had an Ltd the only difference between the esp I have and my old Ltd was the body was a little cheaper on the Ltd , other than that it had the guts of an esp.
he always said we were just 4 guys jamming, this could be you. KTE really brought that palm mute crunch sound to thrash metal. Its Dave then James who were the pioneers of that sound.
It's soo cool to see James get really excited when talking about his guitars. Wish this video was longer, but i'm still thankful for them posting this video. Thank you James's mother for buying your son a guitar, god bless you.
Master Of Fatality People love metal/rock here. And the metal culture is pretty strong. Whenever Metsatöll(estonian folk metal band) plays here, alot of people go to their shows and show support.
Played a ESP and the Gibson explorer. The ESP wins IMO. they did have different pick ups. One was passive and the other were battery operated EMG-81-85
Lefty here. I'd been hunting for a lefty explorer for years. Gibson did a run for 2018 (I think the last time they made lefties was like '84-85) and I finally got one. It's my holy grail.
D V great guitar. The other holy grail is a Dean ML 79. These guitars are meant to be beat the shit out of. Wonderful playability and well balanced AXE
I just Saw MetalllicA for the 8th time in Daytona Rockville, and James Always says from the stage " If This is your First time, Welcome to the MetallicA Family !"
He went to some bands' rehearsal room * insert name here* and played their kit for fun and realized how easy it was to play the high hat when there were only 2 toms on the kit and didn't make the high hat seem very far away ..this happened in 94 . Someone's got a time machine to stop this XD
i once saw an interview with Lars where he said that they rented drum kits in each city on the Justice tour.. after building that epic stage setup, they didn't have the budget or room to drag a drum kit around the world for 2 years..
He used the white/black heads until 94 and took off the two rack toms that then went to the pearl color. Basically same kit used today if I’m not mistaken just different color with less cymbals.
It's soo cool to see James get really excited when talking about his guitars. Wish this video was longer, but i'm still thankful for them posting this video. Thank you James's mother for buying your son a guitar, god bless youIt's soo cool to see
One thing in the world I’ll never get tired of and haven’t gotten enough of, Metallica talking about musical gear. I wish there was a five hour video of James and Kirk talking about every single one they’ve ever owned.
Agreed. I love that it tells a story. Now as an artist, Ive drawin similar for friends that want unique guitars or hell, ive done a viola for my uncle. I love that guitar for its artisic value, sound, and story
Make another Cover Album like Garage Inc. But name it "Inheritance" and cover all of your inspiration bands (but include a don't fear the reaper cover) that'd be cool.
Any interview with James inspires me. Having a few of his signature guitars and wanting more, listening to Papa Het speak is awesome. I would really enjoy sitting across from him at a table one day and just talking about anything. Thank you for everything Metallica..
With James talking about the V, and getting it between his legs for solos, I can remember hearing a story of Dave Mustaine going from his V to an Explorer shape. Things are going fine but when it came solo time, get that V between my legs and...... dude what!? Dave's struggling with the new guitar he looks over at his guitar tech who's killing himself laughing, as he knew that would happen with the change to the Explorer. Welcome to that club Dave. Explorers are just flat out cool, wouldn't mind one myself one day.
Thanks for the love and support!! You're choosing by my TH-cam managements as an active fan that's why you're seeing this. Kindly send me message on my hangout.❤️
I love James. The shit they've done, the shit they've seen, yet at the end of the day, he's just a dork that likes to play guitar like the rest of us. I would give anything to just get to sit and hang out with him for 15 minutes.
james' smile when the reporter said "metallica is getting deep purple" is why i love james so much! no matter how big and influential they get... they're still the angsty little teens deep inside who gets starstruck by scorpions, deep purple, etc.
I wish he would have another video of him just talking about his Electra Flying V. It was a copy but that was the beginning of Metallica, so special for him and many true Metallica fans for sure
James is the reason I play my explorer. I was watching a lot of older metallica live vids and saw him play black explorer, and one day I went to guitar center and found one just like it for 150 bucks. I picked it up, and it is still the best guitar I've ever played
Always cool to see Mr. Hatfield. He's such a cool guy. I would love to see Metallica again on this tour. I saw them last summer and it was f'n awesome!!!
opened up with a solid dad joke, love it.
Not even the immortal James Hetfield is safe from doing dad jokes!
And the way he looked straight at the camera as well!!😂😂 🎥🎥
There's a reason everyone's dad likes Metallica
dad joke is the best
I am the 666th like on this comment. Do not trespass .
I could listen to James talk for hours
Me too!
He should have ben the one to get a talk show!!?
Go on Joe Rogan's page and listen to James' podcast, should be several hours. Beware though, you will walk away wanting to be a beekeeper
I know, draws me in.
Pretty sure if he wanted a talk show, he had it. Any day, any minute on any platform with anything remotely metal related. Guess it means the man's got better things to spend his time on. But yeah. He's good like that. too.
Someone out there has James’ old SG, and they’ll never know it was his first guitar
wow, thats true lol
Hopefully that guitar still exist somewhere out there
Prob a table by now
666 likes muhahahaaha
Probably burned by homeless to get warm for a while.
"Metallica is getting Deep Purple in there"
James: "eyyyyyyyyyy"
Love this man
Alastor lol my favorite part
My favorite part as well
Alastor Mine as well👍
James always had a great sense of humour.
Super cool dude!
That summarizes this. GG
James wanted a V because of Schenker.. i wanted an Explorer because of James!
Cory Mura same
Me too! I finally purchased a lefty Gibson Explorer this year, and it's all James's fault. LOL
I always wanted an esp, because that's mainly what James plays, and I finally got my first esp "warlock style" bass a couple of weeks ago.👍
same here man, i now have am LTD EX 50 explorer
Daniel Foerster sweet man, does it come with esp pickups and guts? last time I had an Ltd the only difference between the esp I have and my old Ltd was the body was a little cheaper on the Ltd , other than that it had the guts of an esp.
Even after 30+ years of being in Metallica, James still has that Metal fanboy mentality that we all have, I love it!
he always said we were just 4 guys jamming, this could be you. KTE really brought that palm mute crunch sound to thrash metal. Its Dave then James who were the pioneers of that sound.
Be really careful because things are not always as they seem
It's soo cool to see James get really excited when talking about his guitars. Wish this video was longer, but i'm still thankful for them posting this video. Thank you James's mother for buying your son a guitar, god bless you.
multiestonian mom didn’t buy it, grandma did. It’s in the guitar center interview.
Michael Angelo H. I'm gonna watch it. Thanks ;)
mad cobra Yea kinda.
Kelvin Avitia He just said in the interview, that the first guitar he had was bought by his mother. But maybe i messed up.
Master Of Fatality People love metal/rock here. And the metal culture is pretty strong. Whenever Metsatöll(estonian folk metal band) plays here, alot of people go to their shows and show support.
2022: The Purple Album
Make it 2020
Didnt Prince already do that?
Shallex didn’t even notice that typo lol thanks
Yeah 83,84,86,87,88,91!!!
PD: 87 for Garage Days Re-Revisited
T Roy he did purple rain
The explorer shape is seriously underrated. So badass
We love the explorer model
It only seems to look good on James though. When other guitarists wear it, it looks corny.
Played a ESP and the Gibson explorer. The ESP wins IMO.
they did have different pick ups. One was passive and the other were battery operated EMG-81-85
Lefty here. I'd been hunting for a lefty explorer for years. Gibson did a run for 2018 (I think the last time they made lefties was like '84-85) and I finally got one. It's my holy grail.

2:37 james: me exploring *whisper "explorer"
Man i love this guy
"The Explorers didn't do well at all"
Well James, you single handedly changed that. It's one of the most badass guitars any metalhead could ask for...
Dimebag changed that.
I think the three best guitar shapes are the Explorer, the pointy version of the V shape, and the pointy version of Dime's guitar.
@@deeznuts-dm7qz dime bag didn’t use an explorer
False
@@deeznuts-dm7qz I dont recall him using an explorer, his signature shape is half V, half explorer.
Why is this barely 4 minutes long? I want a 40 minute version! :D
Michael O Callaghan One is longer than this interview.
SPENCER HEISLER As well as Disposable Heroes , Master Of Puppets , Seek and Destroy etc. Lol mainly most of their songs. 🤘
metfan4l metfan4l his joe rogan podcast is a few hours of solid Hetfield interview
SPENCER HEISLER I was just rocking to that song brother
A longer version would be glorious
James at the beginning looks at camera like he's in The Office
Tomislav Gredisnjak lmao that moment is 1000 times better with that context. Thank you
Jim Hetfield/James Halpert
Maybe he should start going by Jim
Its _The Office_ not The Office
You gotta play the curb your enthusiasm theme After he does that 10/10 comedic gold
his voice is honey for my ears
rozallica Kinda funny considering James Hetfield is a beekeeper.
Andrew Stinson i know right 😂
It's hardly Richard Burton is it?
You put honey in your ears? haha Just kidding
his voice is like k.y jelly for ya aace howw
He is one of the most sincere, humble and honest guitarist I have ever heard.
Watching videos like these is like hanging out with a good friend, it's very comforting. I think a lot of us see Metallica as family.
I just Saw MetalllicA for the 8th time in Daytona Rockville, and James Always says from the stage " If This is your First time, Welcome to the MetallicA Family !"
All respect in the world to James. The guy is legendary, god tier status, and he's still as humble as can be. 🤘🤘
Jason M stahp
I agree. When he got clean he became more humble than back in the day. He played out that almighty Hetfield Rockstar thing to the fullest
fat turtle “stahp” lmfao leave bro
Shut up, you.
"God tier status"? You silly fool.
James has such a soothing voice. Could seriously listen to him talk for hours on end and not get tired of hearing it.
the dad jokes in this video are amazing
"flip side", "exploring" and "getting deep purple"XD
I'll never understand why Lars stopped using the white with black hardware kit from the '89 Seattle show. It sounded so massive.
He went to some bands' rehearsal room * insert name here* and played their kit for fun and realized how easy it was to play the high hat when there were only 2 toms on the kit and didn't make the high hat seem very far away ..this happened in 94 . Someone's got a time machine to stop this XD
The white kit was used from 91 to 96. The one you’re thinking of, the Justice tour kit, was colored in grey/gunsmoke with black hardware. Super cool.
Shallex yeeaa... The band name was alice in chains... thnx :)
i once saw an interview with Lars where he said that they rented drum kits in each city on the Justice tour.. after building that epic stage setup, they didn't have the budget or room to drag a drum kit around the world for 2 years..
He used the white/black heads until 94 and took off the two rack toms that then went to the pearl color. Basically same kit used today if I’m not mistaken just different color with less cymbals.
We want Guitar talk with KIRK
Jectar Bella It would be wah talk LOL (don't get me wrong I love Kirk. Just kidding XD)
He's looking for his phone and surfing
No we don't, we want more talk with James
I love his guitars, so unique)
Jectar Bella It would be really interesting Kirk loves his guitars as much as James
He is humble, he is down to earth. He still remembers what is it like being poor. He never forgot where he came from.
He is my hero.
The opening dad joke is pure gold! With the stare at the camera and everything, too!
James is a very well-spoken intelligent man.
Hetfield made it my dream to have a white explorer
well buy a Epiphone 84 Explorer fair price and you get the original James Hetfield layout
Matthias Jabs for me, but yeah.
It's soo cool to see James get really excited when talking about his guitars. Wish this video was longer, but i'm still thankful for them posting this video. Thank you James's mother for buying your son a guitar, god bless youIt's soo cool to see
Every interview of James I watch makes me like him even more, I'd love to have a coffee with him and just talk about nothing in particular :')
James the best!!!
Synshred the beast
No homo..but damn I love that man!
DrNickRiveria hahaha
Same.....Papa Het is the man!
No homo taken! ;)
i love these james interviews i wish there were more
Never get tired of James' interviews
You know you're getting old when the lead singer of Metallica comes across as one of the nicest calmest guys in the world.
One thing in the world I’ll never get tired of and haven’t gotten enough of, Metallica talking about musical gear. I wish there was a five hour video of James and Kirk talking about every single one they’ve ever owned.
The garage days Guitar is still the best one
Agreed. I love that it tells a story. Now as an artist, Ive drawin similar for friends that want unique guitars or hell, ive done a viola for my uncle. I love that guitar for its artisic value, sound, and story
For me it's his EET FUK Explorer
His EET FUK is the best.
Peekadam yes it is.
For me it’s his gibson iron cross Les Paul
James 's voice is so Powerfull
Gotta love James man, seems to be the coolest hang in the band.
I LOVE JAMES♥️♥️♥️ HE IS THE BEST!!!!! Metallica Forever🤘
Seeing James’ face light up at the deep purple reference haha
Make another Cover Album like Garage Inc. But name it "Inheritance" and cover all of your inspiration bands (but include a don't fear the reaper cover) that'd be cool.
Cecil Drakan that's what garage days revisited and re revisited are
cypekpl cat
You know that Garage Inc. includes those 2 that you mentioned, right?
That's why he said "make ANOTHER album like Garage Inc". Cheers!
Do it Tallica!
Yes but with more cowbell.
Well, I think they ran out of Diamond Head songs to cover.....
"Dobrodošli" in the background, makes me smile! Greets from the Balkans.
He’s right about wanting the same guitar as someone from your favourite band, I got an explorer because of him and everything about it is perfect
Any interview with James inspires me. Having a few of his signature guitars and wanting more, listening to Papa Het speak is awesome. I would really enjoy sitting across from him at a table one day and just talking about anything. Thank you for everything Metallica..
Love anything James and Metallica to watch , just so fun
James is my Hero!
Long live Metal! \m/
P.S Please COME TO RUSSIA!
"Here's the flip side to that" *Stares into your soul*
Lol
Metallica rules!!!!!!!!!
(Fonzy Brookestone) YEAAAAH IS THE HEAVY!!!
Simpsons
crispyarturo Homer Rules
James makes dad jokes, talks about his heroes, tells old guitar stories. He’d be the best guitar teacher
Definitely need more of these videos.
OUR KING
Tommi Sali terve
Terve
Tommi Sali Totally wrong men... OUR GOD!!
Tommi Sali no
you saying that James isn't our king?
I was like James, I worshipped a band and wanted one of their guitars. I’ve been a proud owner of my ESP Snakebyte for 4 years now 😍
Beautiful guitar.
Could listen to this for hours... Why is this video so short?
I always figured Flying V’s were meant to be with certain people. They’re so awkward but look pretty badass.
Hey, thanks for the love and I know you must be surprised to receive a message from me.
Sweet James, I could listen to you talk for hours! I *♡´* LOVE *`♡* the flying V too!
Love These Guitars & Interviews of JAMES💜🎸🎶😊
both guitars debuted in Lisbon, so proud of being at that show and catching James's drumstick from Now That We're Dead
I love how James just looks your local dad, on the way to pick up the kids from school
This is cool can’t wait to see James in Charlotte NC and also man bring that guitar I’d love to see that live
Hetfield will always be one of my top 5 favorite musicians and people ever!
It's great to hear James talk about Michael Schenker from the Scopions. Best regards from (good) old Germany
With James talking about the V, and getting it between his legs for solos, I can remember hearing a story of Dave Mustaine going from his V to an Explorer shape.

Every time i saw an explorer, i see James, i love this guy, i grew up with their music
METALLICA IS EVERYTHING🤘
See you guys in December

Just hear him talking is better than the Music of the actuell Charts
this comment is better than the actual words
Predicament lol
james' smile when the reporter said "metallica is getting deep purple" is why i love james so much!
no matter how big and influential they get... they're still the angsty little teens deep inside who gets starstruck by scorpions, deep purple, etc.
I'm thankful God put me on earth at the same time as Hetfeild so I can enjoy an experience his music
James Hatfield- the number one man. He's the dude that's taken music to a new level. Rock on man!
“Esp Made me a one-off”. Not quite, 7 were made, and I’m the happy owner of one of them 😉.
I wish he would have another video of him just talking about his Electra Flying V. It was a copy but that was the beginning of Metallica, so special for him and many true Metallica fans for sure
His own voice is great
Yes. Low barritones or barritones/ bass always sound deep and manly
@@ultron374 I forgot about this comment at all))
Metallica was completely new to me. Can't believe I've been listening them for 2 years
@@hatfeel953I am listening to them since i was 12, now i am 34 😀
2:38 ''Me exploring different-- _exploring._ Different colors.''
I love him so much he's so goofy
Metallica 4 ever
To imagine James without an Explorer is just absolute madness
James The King of METALLICA 👑♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Genowefa Jarosinski and kirk is the prince then?
Im falling in love for Metallica. I didnt know that they were so humble and badass metal players.
The thought of James Hetfield NOT pursuing guitar playing gives me a baaad vibe man
Wow James guitar is really beautiful. Cool to see some of your favorites give opinions on gear or talk about it
James: un gran líder, gran compositor, hermoso, sexy, encantador! ...lo máximo! ..
Hey, Thanks for the love and support 🌹
How are you doing over there?

Had no money to buy a guitar.. Now he can buy all guitars in the world 😹
Always cool to see Mr. Hatfield. He's such a cool guy. I would love to see Metallica again on this tour. I saw them last summer and it was f'n awesome!!!
The puns tho!
It's weird. James has grown into such a well rounded man. You forget that ultimately, he is a guitarist. Nice to be reminded of that.
James
James really made me fall in love with a explorer model and I bought a explorer copy and its all thanks to James.
that kid that james bought his first guitar from is probably like: "holy shit I sold james hetfields first guitar"
How about the one that traded him a PA for that first guitar?
Man if I could hang out with one band for the day, it would be Metallica. After all the millions, they all seem like great down to earth dudes.
Daddy
I hope he recovers from this terrible disease. Come on James!!!!
Brasillll
I have a Guitar pick from one of your shows JAMES!!!!! I hangs on my wall FOREVER!!!!!!!
