This is why I watch Joe Rogan. I'd rather hear James Hetfield talk about bee's than get asked the same questions about Cliff Burton,Dave Mustaine, and Jason Newstead for the 1000th time.
I met James Hetfield when I was in high school, while I was working at chillie’s. Not wanting to be “that guy” I avoided saying anything until he was on his way out, when I said “hey, I love your work.” He stopped and cut it up with me for like 10 minutes. I was just a bus boy at chillies. He is the real deal. Edit: I like coming back here from time to time to see what people are saying. A couple of take aways: 1. people got really upset I spelled Chili’s wrong. You’re going to be ok. I’m sure I didn’t hurt Chili’s feelings. 2. Some of yall are awesome for defending me. I assure you, I’m fine and my feelings aren’t hurt, but the fact you would go out of your way to make sure my feelings aren’t hurt is very touching. You people are what makes the world a great place. 3. I am amused at how many people think I made that story up. What a random thing to make up. James Hetfield lived in Marin county California for years, and got hungry from time to time, and CHILLIES has some dank burgers. This was 2004/2005, Terra Linda Chili’s which I think is a Black Bear Diner now.
This is why Joe is great. Instead of asking 900 metallica questions and making the interview about 1 aspect of James, he let him go on about what's important to him on a personal level 👍
Yes! I love this. It sucks so bad when you see musicians, actors, actresses and people getting asked the exact same, shallow questions at every interview. Its so refreshing when these guys can just talk and share things you don't normally get a chance to hear.
Also why I like this style of media, as opposed to the time constraints of mainstream TV and radio. He knows he’s got all the time in the world to ask about the Metallica stuff
Exactly! James says, "I could sit here and talk for a whole hour about bees." and Joe cuts in with, "Let's do it!" Joe Rogan does conversations, not interviews.
Yeah especially when you consider how long he's been singing the way he does. You'd expect him to have a kinda rough strained voice but it's the total opposite. And he still sounds amazing when he sings too
"Eye of the Bee holder" "Harvester of Honey" "Poor Twisted Bee" "The Hive James Built" "The Thing that should not bee" "Iced Honey" "My Friend of Mr. Bee"
yeah... I was REALLY surprised that Joe didn't mention Prof. Peterson after Het mentioned that. The Bay Area is largely lost to the pointlessly Liberal. Can't hate on Vale & it's an excellent choice for a place to live in the USA, but He & his family would've been FINE up in Humboldt. Thems' CUN-TREE up there. Just guns & greens in arboreal Nor-Cal.
James is right. Lived here for 15 yrs. Coexist stickers on every car bumper you see, but they cannot coexist with anyone that has deferring opinions. They are the new fascists.
*_"I don't know much about moose."_* lol...I love how randomly JRE episodes begin. Reminds me of the one with Duncan where Duncan started it all off by saying _"This is my grandfather's flannel and I want you to wear it."_ Too fucking funny... :)
Met James at a car show a few years back. Super nice guy. They say "don't meet your heroes", but meet James. Always meet James. He is every bit the humble, nice, personable guy you expect him to be.
Being a liberal guy, I've known for years that James is a conservative. I think it's a little silly, and very band wagon-esque that people are shocked by James' convervatism to the point of boycotting shows. My own political views will not stop me from buying every single Metallica album, or going to their shows every chance I get. Additionally, regardless of my political views, I respect James' views because I'm a fucking adult, and that's what adults do.
finally, a liberal who seems to have a brain in his skull. I think people blow politics way out of proportion especially with celebrities and actors and musicians. For example, I may not like if idk Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day yells out f trump and f this and f that and is very very open about their political views, whatever. Imma still go to his concerts and stuff. I love the music, thats what i am there for.
Most of us have brains man... I think the amount of hyperbole that gets thrown around at the same time when talking about politics is a huge reason why they are so polarizing. I wouldn't go so far as to say James is a conservative. I think he leans right in some regards but on average I'd say he's more leftward leaning. I'm not talking about the radical left that gave him the incentive to move to Colorado, just more left than right. He even said that he thinks progressivism is good because it's moving the world forward and hes down with that. What he doesn't like is being told what to do when the reasoning is just downright moronic. Being a lead singer/songwriter and guitar player of the worlds last extremely successful metal band you would think.... rebel. Yes indeed, he absolutely is that and I love him for it.
I met James when I was working security at the Sharks Arena where I worked. He was a guest during the Stanley Cup Finals and came up to get interviewed at one of the outdoor media stages where I was posted and I got to chat with him before his turn. After he was done a bunch of people swarmed him for photos but he managed to come and shake my hand before he went off on his way. It was an epic ending to my job because I hated it, so I quit that very week and went on vacation.
Man the mystery of a band and initial attraction through an album cover is something that I miss and we will not have again. Back in the 80s and early 90s, the mystique of a band made them rock stars. The only way we could find out anything about them was through music magazines or occasional MTV interviews. And bands like Metallica were even more underground. Man I miss buying records and tapes.
Me 2... the thrill of hearing the flip side and finding one written just for you......... or tearing open the package and a sticker falls out and you hold it and it feels priceless... or deciding who is gonna get your allowance this week.
Master, master, where's the honey that I've been after? Master, master, you promised only lies! Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter, Laughter, laughter, laughing at my hive!
I've been following Metallica since I was 13 and this is the greatest interview with James I've ever seen. Joe Rogan deserves his own late night show. Way better than most of the corporate shills out there now.
no doubt ! and the way he really, TRULY appreciates the stuff that they talk about. The bees thing was incredible. The guy was really mesmerized. That's why it is such a great podcast.
I was James Hetfield‘s electrician in SF back in 2007. Got to know his family fairly well and did walk-throughs with him. I had to be professional and not a starstruck fan. But what an amazing experience.
Matthew Speicher - learned some factoids about *Apis mellifera* i never would've known without Powerful J. Hetfield; bananas tick 'em off, for instance. . . ....who knew? Things Giligan never taught us!
Im amazed his vocal chords are in tact. Just think of singing "Exit light Enter night Take my hand We're off to never-never land" for 100's of live shows. I would have laryngitis all the time.

im 33 yo, my oldest bro introduced me to metallica at 8yo, im from venezuela, and also learned english listening to met songs and reading their lyrics. This band has been part of our family like a fuc"#ing anthem. thanks het and thanks Joe for this awesome conversation! i wish i could do that my self!
Most of the country used to have this attitude. Many people still do. Just don't watch televised media and ignore Hollywood. You'll start to find out that when those places are not busy telling who we should hate we can all get along. Even when we disagree. :)
Oddly enough, for me as a huge, lifelong Metallica fan, I loved hearing such a long interview about everything except Metallica. James is such an interesting guy and an icon. So for me it was unbelievably interesting just to hear about life. I'd like to think I know everything about Metallica, and it was fun to just hear about James as a person. But, you're right, they need to do another cool interview like this.
James is one of the most solid, humble, fucking badass dudes there ever was. There's also an old video of someone researching and recording in a lab setting what happens when he screams. His voicebox and lungs produce so much force and vapor that he expels a sonic vapor pressurewave when he initiates the scream. And they recorded it.

unun septium I would like to respectfully disagree. the numbers can't be refuted and Metallica are one the biggest bands,period. but Phil Anselmo, enough said!!
Shane Raines If telling facts about someone induces violence, then that someone is a piece of shit. It sounds like something Phil would do. I loved Pantera until I saw the racism.
unun septium Phil anselmo in my opinion is the best front man in metal period he could make a concert lose there fucking minds but I do agree also with James
This dude is a great example of being an extremely rich person but not because of the money. I really strive to have the attitude that he does. He's one of (if not the most) the most humble and kind musician I've ever seen.
About 10 sum odd years ago my pops owned a bar and godsmack rolled through town and played at a civic center here. One of my best friends mom lived in Massachusetts and lived next door to sully from godsmack, and grew up with him. Well when they came to town she ended up getting ahold of them. They had a couple off days after that show and they came to our bar for a couple hours to drink and eat. Gotta say Sully was awesome and I was young like 12-13 he told me a couple of cool stories and was really down to earth. That bar was sick we also had Charlie Moore the mad fisherman come and do the same thing. I was older for that one and he was mad funny.
DoorDevil You mean Dave Mustaine? He and Metallica are on good terms for quite some time now. And Dave's not a dumbass for having felt that way for quite some time in the past after getting kicked out of Metallica. It's just the way he felt about that happening and he expressed it like any normal human being does. You can't just stop caring about what you love doing the most instantly, can you?
"I tell ya, if I could exercise all of those demons, I would have, but it's something that you embrace. It's a part of me - and I get to celebrate it in my music." Dude's poetic just talking in normal conversation. It's like his mind just produces song verses unconsciously
@@remondx8880 meh, you're a hardworking musician it's pretty much the opposite, most of the "hard" things around music making are explained in music theory
James Hetfield is way too big to be cancelled by sick minded group or society.. in fact no one can cancel no one.. like suddenly we play God.. as long as you’re not causing harm or insulting another human being, be your true self and never apologize for it.
he admitted somewhere, that back in the day when Metallica became big that he did not manage the fame too well, but so was the case with all members of his band. Now he came into age, when people usually get sober, unless there is something wrong with them..
Some former Metallica bandmates (Jason Newsted especially) would beg to differ, apparently James and Lars hogg complete creative control when mixing the albums. But he seems like a nice dude otherwise yeah...
It's always been that way, Each member is open to have their ideas and inputs put its always been down to lars and james to decide if its up to a Metallica standard. I wouldn't really say that it speak about who they are outside of the band as regular people
Have no idea why this guy has received so much hate from certain people over the years. Absolutely love him! Saw Metallica at Slane Castle just a few days ago and for such a massive show in front of 75,000 people it felt so intimate. Incredible band and hope they go on for as long as possible.
With great fame comes great amount of haters. But in this case even the haters still respect James at some level. Some don't, of course, but they are a special type of people who live their lives being brainless cunts.
aisacirema he’s a recovering alcoholic so its assumed he relapsed by starting to hit the bottle again. He’s also been dealing with a bad back so painkillers are also a possibility
That was a killer interview. Joe Rogan is fuckin brilliant. I've never seen someone that could have such a cool, natural conversation with a huge star like he can. I'm sure James appreciated it as well.
I heard Master of Puppets 1st time at my cuzins in Long Beach Rite whn it came out So i believe '86 i was like 11ish turning 12 Dude my life changed forever Im Forever grateful to this band They wrote the Soundtrack to my life 😄✌🇺🇸
This guy and the music his band made, literally helped me survive my youth. I don't know if I met him, that I wouldn't be a big crying mess, not just for the amount of gratitude I have as a musician, but also all of the emotion tied to their songs. I think you'd need a squeegee to mop me up. Thank you James and Metallica for everything.
THE NEW METALLICA ALBUM: Master of Honeycombs is in stores now and includes such hits as: Fade to Honey Don't Tread on Bee Enter Apiaristman Honeyer then thou Of Bee and Man Jump in the Beehive Sting and Destroy (Swelling) Getting Stung The Four Pollinaters Flowerbreath
Yea honestly he wouldn't be talking about bees or as such during those ALCOHOLICA days. Another thing too is Rogan don't invite guests, he just interviews people who are interested in coming to his show.
no way man. marcs' is an ego trip. his passive aggression neuters half of his interviews. joe is able to put his shit on hold sometimes and thats key. marc imposes on ppl.
This is what a rock star is supposed to be like. Just a regular guy who happens to be stoopid rich. No weird eccentricities. Big respect for James and Metallica.
But that type of character doesn't come without a period in the dark, and I'm talking about the early on kind. Then, and only then, you can appreciate peace.
Yeah maybe today because they've worked through a heap of shit over multiple decades. Those exact claims of rock star eccentricity and grandeur have been aimed at Metallica a huge amount over the years, they were dubbed Alcoholica back in the '80s, hated on like crazy for "selling out" and every other choice through the '90s and early '00s.. but it's awesome to see where they're at now.
Jonah Falcon well the best thing about rogans podcasts for the most part he wants his guest to feel comfortable and allowing someone to talk about something they are passionate about makes them feel more natural therefore we get to see a different side of James
Had a friend years and years ago who approached Hetfield in a bar and struck up a conversation. He asked her if she was a fan, and she said "Yeah, but I liked you better before you sold out." She told me he started cracking up and bought her a drink. He's always been cool as shit.
Everyone tastes and outlook on things change many times in life, so of course music and subject matter will change also. I appreciate risks that bands like Metallica (Hetfield) have taken in there craft. Just because you become successful or make money doesn't make you a sell out. The experience of an 18 year old to a 50 something is tremendous. Great interview.
James Hetfield seems like such a laid back dude. Was super inspirational to hear how he overcame his addictions and fixed his family situation, I bet he's a great dad.
Fans here in New Zealand weren't so happy to hear that Papa Het checked into rehab again since it's almost been a decade since they last came here. But me as a lifelong MetallicA fan, I'm glad he did what he did. His health is much more important. Especially at his age. I hope they return in 2020 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Metallica lyrics are what inspired me to want to write. They were probably my first real introduction into how words can create epic and vivid imagery in your brain, not just tell a story.
@ThatMartinJF: Absolutely right. I don't know how that guy thought it's about Vietnam after listening to the lyrics. It might have been, but it's not. Then again it could be universal. He probably thought the helicopter in the beginning sounds like something from Apocalypse Now. Did they have helicopters in WWI? Maybe that sets the mood and if you listen to the lyrics, you might see it happening in Vietnam. But I think Hetfield took inspiration from the movie and wrote some more universal war lyrics.
Easily one of the best, if not THE best, celebrity interviews I’ve seen. I love how it’s just an honest conversation instead of just bullet point, canned questions.
Joe has that something that makes him seem really approachable, not to mention he's very popular and I can't think of any reason to hate him. He gets the best out of people in his interviews.
This is why I watch Joe Rogan. I'd rather hear James Hetfield talk about bee's than get asked the same questions about Cliff Burton,Dave Mustaine, and Jason Newstead for the 1000th time.
Bingo
Thank you!!!! only Joe would make a conversation with James about everyday stuff and bees be so interesting
Exactly
100% This. Plus it's refreshing to see James's sense of humor, he was enjoying Joe's quips. I thought he was a bit of a tight ass, but guess not.
Davivd2 no kidding, it's incredible to me that no one else wants to have a natural discussion. It's like the whole media world is made of robots

@CHUCKY that's what James was most interested in though so that's what he spoke about and Joe was happy to engage in that topic
Can we agree that James voice is amazing just hearing him talk is soothing.
Yeah especially when you consider how long he's been singing the way he does. You'd expect him to have a kinda rough strained voice but it's the total opposite. And he still sounds amazing when he sings too
Yeah there is something in the resonance that is pleasing to my earholes. (oh and Fade to Black is the greatest song of all time)

I've been following Metallica since I was 13 and this is the greatest interview with James I've ever seen. Joe Rogan deserves his own late night show. Way better than most of the corporate shills out there now.
good call. he should have a show!
Well.. He has a show and it's here! Better than it could be on any TV... No Ads, no product placements, no time limits and so on :)
right lol why would anyone want yet another fuckin late night talk show
well said sir
I've been a Metallica fan for the past 20 years and learned more about him from this one interview with Joe.

There is something cool about Joe Rogan when he can smoke weed with Elon Mask and talk about bees with James Hetfield.
No matter what people say about him, you cant say he isn't a pretty open and relatable person
Joe could talk to anyone. He’s even said the podcast has made him super relaxed talking to new people.
But still cant wank same time under the table like Joey Diaz :D
wyatthicks16 thats the key to his success with the podcast. he somehow manages to relate to everyone and just come across as a very likeable person
no doubt ! and the way he really, TRULY appreciates the stuff that they talk about. The bees thing was incredible. The guy was really mesmerized. That's why it is such a great podcast.
I was James Hetfield‘s electrician in SF back in 2007. Got to know his family fairly well and did walk-throughs with him. I had to be professional and not a starstruck fan. But what an amazing experience.

If all folks had that same attitude this country would be a better place to live in.
Don't you mean bee* a better place lol
Most of the country used to have this attitude. Many people still do. Just don't watch televised media and ignore Hollywood. You'll start to find out that when those places are not busy telling who we should hate we can all get along. Even when we disagree. :)
@@futurewavecs I totally agree.
Yeah James is the shit
I get people what Metallica stories but I think it’s good James gets to talk about his life a little and his passions outside of Metallica
I hope Joe brings James back on , I don't like how this ended so abruptly.
Wanna hear some Metallica stories lol
The bane of countenance seems that depending on 'em so,freak bitches.
I think he will be back when next album comes out
Oddly enough, for me as a huge, lifelong Metallica fan, I loved hearing such a long interview about everything except Metallica. James is such an interesting guy and an icon. So for me it was unbelievably interesting just to hear about life. I'd like to think I know everything about Metallica, and it was fun to just hear about James as a person. But, you're right, they need to do another cool interview like this.
@@uncleben03
I see what you mean and you caught me I'm a new fan!
I enjoyed the other stuff all the same, just wasn't expecting it lol.
James is one of the most solid, humble, fucking badass dudes there ever was. There's also an old video of someone researching and recording in a lab setting what happens when he screams. His voicebox and lungs produce so much force and vapor that he expels a sonic vapor pressurewave when he initiates the scream. And they recorded it.

James is the best front man that metal has ever seen.
unun septium I would like to respectfully disagree. the numbers can't be refuted and Metallica are one the biggest bands,period. but Phil Anselmo, enough said!!
Anselmo, Dickinson, Halford, Araya, Hetfield, Lemmy, they're all great in their own ways.
Shane Raines If telling facts about someone induces violence, then that someone is a piece of shit. It sounds like something Phil would do. I loved Pantera until I saw the racism.
unun septium I Can certainly appreciate that.
unun septium Phil anselmo in my opinion is the best front man in metal period he could make a concert lose there fucking minds but I do agree also with James
damn, I wish James could have podcast. He's such a chill, creative, cool dude.

Knight Solaire or really stupid af.
This dude is a great example of being an extremely rich person but not because of the money. I really strive to have the attitude that he does. He's one of (if not the most) the most humble and kind musician I've ever seen.
They were in southern new Mexico, a few people died
About 10 sum odd years ago my pops owned a bar and godsmack rolled through town and played at a civic center here. One of my best friends mom lived in Massachusetts and lived next door to sully from godsmack, and grew up with him. Well when they came to town she ended up getting ahold of them. They had a couple off days after that show and they came to our bar for a couple hours to drink and eat. Gotta say Sully was awesome and I was young like 12-13 he told me a couple of cool stories and was really down to earth. That bar was sick we also had Charlie Moore the mad fisherman come and do the same thing. I was older for that one and he was mad funny.
Eddy Fannin interesting, but do you think its justa coincadence? A girl got murdered when they came to charlottesville va.
James Hetfield could narrate a book and i would totally listen. He has a great narrater voice

It's an everyday fight for some. All the best to James.
I saw them in January and he kicked our asses... He will kick his own ass to be able to get back to kicking ours..
Saw them for the second time in Birmingham this year in January. They killed it like always.
You got this James
He's done it before, he'll do it again.
Such a crazy feeling when someone you're already a fan of comes on JRE

DoorDevil if your talking about cliff he died on tour. do you mean dave
DoorDevil You mean Dave Mustaine? He and Metallica are on good terms for quite some time now.
And Dave's not a dumbass for having felt that way for quite some time in the past after getting kicked out of Metallica.
It's just the way he felt about that happening and he expressed it like any normal human being does.
You can't just stop caring about what you love doing the most instantly, can you?
Had the exact same feeling when Sam Harris was one the first time :)
Just Joe Rogan and James Hetfield discussing things over a wooden James Hetfield. Awesome.
This feels like two dudes catching up. Love this interview
joe you need more musicians on your podcast. PLEASEEEE
Laura Padron yes, more musicians less comedians
Kirk Hammett? Lars Ulrich?
yeah... bring on Tom Araya to talk about his love for grasshoppers
Laura Padron unfortunately it seems he is not much into music
Robert Pollard and Tobin Sprout
"I tell ya, if I could exercise all of those demons, I would have, but it's something that you embrace. It's a part of me - and I get to celebrate it in my music."
Dude's poetic just talking in normal conversation. It's like his mind just produces song verses unconsciously
When you're creative and in touch with your emotions it's actually not that hard. The hard part is creating an actual song out of it.
@@remondx8880 meh, you're a hardworking musician it's pretty much the opposite, most of the "hard" things around music making are explained in music theory
If this episode had been made in 2020, Hetfield would be cancelled for saying that Africanized bees are more aggressive.
Yes probably !!
Nah not really
James Hetfield is way too big to be cancelled by sick minded group or society.. in fact no one can cancel no one.. like suddenly we play God.. as long as you’re not causing harm or insulting another human being, be your true self and never apologize for it.
I didn't know James Hetfield was such a humble and down to earth type of person.
he admitted somewhere, that back in the day when Metallica became big that he did not manage the fame too well, but so was the case with all members of his band. Now he came into age, when people usually get sober, unless there is something wrong with them..
Jovan Nguyen All you need to do to know who he is would be to listen to their lyrics.
well look,this is how he presents himself on public media. I love James and Metallica but he may not be so humble always.
Some former Metallica bandmates (Jason Newsted especially) would beg to differ, apparently James and Lars hogg complete creative control when mixing the albums. But he seems like a nice dude otherwise yeah...
It's always been that way, Each member is open to have their ideas and inputs put its always been down to lars and james to decide if its up to a Metallica standard. I wouldn't really say that it speak about who they are outside of the band as regular people
"oh great, my favorite musician is doing an interview"
*Watch him talk about bees for 40 minutes*
"truly an inspiration"
kms yeah, it is.
and another 40 on hunting...
Mmm that30 gallon hat looking good baby
Hey, don't let us stop you ... go ahead you dumbfuck.
Have no idea why this guy has received so much hate from certain people over the years.
Absolutely love him! Saw Metallica at Slane Castle just a few days ago and for such a massive show in front of 75,000 people it felt so intimate.
Incredible band and hope they go on for as long as possible.
same experience here, I saw Metallica in Cologne
go fuck yourself
They are probably jealous of their success, so when there is an opportunity to bring them down, they just go at it.
With great fame comes great amount of haters. But in this case even the haters still respect James at some level. Some don't, of course, but they are a special type of people who live their lives being brainless cunts.
Mesutswillpower i was at slane too
when James talked about being close to the earth and living in nature, that resonated with me.
Wow, I am a Metallica fan and I just gained a whole new respect for James Hetfield...and bee's !!!
James has always been a thrasher for life. Never seen James this relaxed in an interview
Joe, you have the Best Podcast on the Planet.
Just checkin' in on ya, to tell you you're wrong!
good thing nobody asked yo dumbass.
It was a joke...Bill Burr's podcast?
Bill's podcasts are pretty good too but, the people that joe has on his shows are doper.
Considering Burr usually doesn't have guests I don't see where you're going with that one. Anyway, they're both great. Everybody wins.

What for? Sorry to hear that

That was a killer interview. Joe Rogan is fuckin brilliant. I've never seen someone that could have such a cool, natural conversation with a huge star like he can. I'm sure James appreciated it as well.
Metallica has had such a profound effect on my life. I listen to them everyday, the reason I picked up guitar 27 years ago.
Same here man. 28 for me though

Same :))) Black Album changed my life in 1998 as a wee little kid. Beautiful times of discovery and heavy-metal enlightenment :)
This guy and the music his band made, literally helped me survive my youth. I don't know if I met him, that I wouldn't be a big crying mess, not just for the amount of gratitude I have as a musician, but also all of the emotion tied to their songs. I think you'd need a squeegee to mop me up. Thank you James and Metallica for everything.

Watching this got me thinking: Could I imagine James from 1991 talking about bees for an hour? Probably not..
Justin Lee why not he’s loved nature animals and hunting his whole life basically
You can`t find any videos of James talking about anything for an hour pre-2000....Maybe some clips add up to a hour in a year and a half of Metallica
That got me laughing a lot
Yea honestly he wouldn't be talking about bees or as such during those ALCOHOLICA days. Another thing too is Rogan don't invite guests, he just interviews people who are interested in coming to his show.
who does shit from 1991?
The Joe Rogan Experience is by far the best interview based program ever made.
Marc Maron is.
Jim Lahey I can agree with that. ..100%
no way man. marcs' is an ego trip. his passive aggression neuters half of his interviews. joe is able to put his shit on hold sometimes and thats key. marc imposes on ppl.
I'd love to see old man Lahey chugging liquor on JRE , lol how would that go?
howard stern is up there
His opinion on San Fransisco people is perfect
I love how this interview starts, "I don't know much about moose."
This is what a rock star is supposed to be like. Just a regular guy who happens to be stoopid rich. No weird eccentricities. Big respect for James and Metallica.
But that type of character doesn't come without a period in the dark, and I'm talking about the early on kind. Then, and only then, you can appreciate peace.
Yeah maybe today because they've worked through a heap of shit over multiple decades. Those exact claims of rock star eccentricity and grandeur have been aimed at Metallica a huge amount over the years, they were dubbed Alcoholica back in the '80s, hated on like crazy for "selling out" and every other choice through the '90s and early '00s.. but it's awesome to see where they're at now.
Leave it to Joe to get one of the biggest rock stars in history for 2 hours and talk about bees for 1/2 of it.
Jonah Falcon well the best thing about rogans podcasts for the most part he wants his guest to feel comfortable and allowing someone to talk about something they are passionate about makes them feel more natural therefore we get to see a different side of James
It's not a bad thing. Just so typical Joe Rogan that it is pretty hilarious.
bees are cool, hatfield is cool, rogan is alright, lets listen and learn :)
Lol so true. The shit that shit dude has gone through, let me hear some crazy Metallica stories or some other behind the scenes shit!! Wtf
You wanted him to ask the same questions everyone does to James ?
In our next episode: James Hetfield vs Asian giant hornet.
Had a friend years and years ago who approached Hetfield in a bar and struck up a conversation. He asked her if she was a fan, and she said "Yeah, but I liked you better before you sold out." She told me he started cracking up and bought her a drink. He's always been cool as shit.
Did you used to post on the IMDb music board? I remember reading that story before on there
Your friend sounds like a right asshole.
@@deutschesmaedchen Depends on her delivery of that frase.
It's hilarious how people want bands that they pay to see and hear stay poor.
Everyone tastes and outlook on things change many times in life, so of course music and subject matter will change also. I appreciate risks that bands like Metallica (Hetfield) have taken in there craft. Just because you become successful or make money doesn't make you a sell out. The experience of an 18 year old to a 50 something is tremendous. Great interview.

But me as a lifelong MetallicA fan, I'm glad he did what he did. His health is much more important. Especially at his age. I hope they return in 2020 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Was it alcohol, drugs or...?
Always loves metallica and know plenty about them but never knew James was so intelligent. Very likable guy.
James has always come off as an intelligent human being to me. Lars on the other hand...

mj22jk you gotta have some type of intelligence to make the music he did
mj22jk Same here. I'm so happy one of my child hood bands turned out so awesome. So cool.
metalsquirrelgamer especially songs like one and nothing else matters
James is one of my most favorite people.
Metallica lyrics are what inspired me to want to write. They were probably my first real introduction into how words can create epic and vivid imagery in your brain, not just tell a story.
ThatMartinJF after watching the music vidoe for one I got the book and up till now it is "one" of my favorite books of all time.
Master Master...where's the dreams that I've been after?
Kwisatz Haderach if you like lyrics I would suggest poetry
@ThatMartinJF: Absolutely right. I don't know how that guy thought it's about Vietnam after listening to the lyrics. It might have been, but it's not. Then again it could be universal. He probably thought the helicopter in the beginning sounds like something from Apocalypse Now. Did they have helicopters in WWI? Maybe that sets the mood and if you listen to the lyrics, you might see it happening in Vietnam. But I think Hetfield took inspiration from the movie and wrote some more universal war lyrics.
No helicopters in WW1.. there were horses still
Easily one of the best, if not THE best, celebrity interviews I’ve seen. I love how it’s just an honest conversation instead of just bullet point, canned questions.
You're gorgeous
This is one of the best candid interviews (if not THE best) with James I have ever seen. Honest, real, and direct- the Legend!
Joe has that something that makes him seem really approachable, not to mention he's very popular and I can't think of any reason to hate him. He gets the best out of people in his interviews.
I AGREE ALSO ONE OF THE JOE EXPERIENCES EVER
The only dishonest part was when he said metalica never lost their energy
Well it's not a typical interview. It's more of a hangout, chitchat not question-answer question-answer. By the way James FUCKING ROCKS. \m/
Because it is NOT an interview. It's a conversation.
When Hetfield talks about bees, bees become the coolest animal there is.
