Poor Rob just standing there on the side being like... oh, so many cool memories that I wasn't a part of... :(
followerofshrek well, he has his own
If you knew Rob's past youd know he's fine haha. That guy has been around the music scene with the biggest bands you'd be surprised. We almost wouldnt have Korn without Rob telling them to get off their asses haha. Maybe not but he was there with them from the beginning. Alice in chains, Ozzy, infectious groves, suicidal tendencies.
Thats life bro.
"Poor Rob" hardly lol
It reminded me of, John Entwistle always on the side with The Who... Always on the side, camera bearly showing him, but bringing the timeing together of the band, which I reckon most all of the great bands, the bass player is the most unrecognized but mulitalented, that brings the band full circle, can't forget John Paul Jones....
:50 James realizing they tune down 1/2 step now and he'll always be off by one fret. :)
The Misfits are my favorite obscure European band.
hardly obscure
Hardly European
Hardly Hardly
Best comment ever
London Dungeon
I love how James can't just hold a guitar without playing it...
Look at the bass getting tickled too.
And kirk looking at the wah without stepping on it
no guitar player can, trust me
It’s the same with me, it’s hard to not play it
He doesn't like doing vocals without holding a guitar.
Every time Lars speaks, all I hear is Jim Breuer’s impression of him. Lol
Umm....yeah umm ya know lmao
His impression is spot on lol
Focking napsack huh? HUH? Right James?
YEAH? YEAH! YEAH! OOOOH!
Lol
There's your fawkin knapsack! The kid is fawkin irresponsible!
Every time I hear Lars speak, all I hear is BS. All the collective talk and he is the worst micromanager of the group.
It's astonishing to think that not only is Robert now their longest tenured bassist. *_HE'S BEEN IN METALLICA FOR HALF OF THE BAND'S LIFESPAN_*
Crazy. I still look at him like the new guy
I love how Kirk has his foot on the Wah pedal the ENTIRE time. It's like his happy place lol.
At 1:45. I remember when “And Justice For All” just got big about ‘88. The radio station in Shreveport, La. would refuse to play “One” or any of the other songs off of “Justice “ until at least 9 p.m. so me and my friends would call the radio station at 9:01 p.m. EVERY NIGHT and request those songs (back when you could do that)!!!
The radio stations still suck ass in Shreveport/bossier. Thank God for fucking Spotify
TUX99!
It's fans like you with those phone calls that helped pave the way for Metallica....thank you honestly.
I still remember the sense of shock and awe I felt the very fist time I saw "One" on MTV. It was hard to believe that such a terrifying and wonderful thing was under the radar. Even though Metallica is the most successful touring act in history, they still don't get much radio play.
Clint Zuleger good times, man...these days radio stations get paid to play the same damn stupid pop “songs” every hour
0:47 Band members: Hey, we still remember how to play that! Let's start playing along.
0:49 James: Fuck, the recording is in E and we're tuned to Eb.
blakfloyd oh my gosh I noticed that 😂
LMFAO the look of disappointment on his face
Damnnn! You’re insane man. That’s right. Fking well saw.
@@insolitusau hahah his natural lack of range strikes at him from the past ! lol poor fella, amazing song writer - but a limited singer. So many metallica songs are in E and E flat jsut cus that's one of the few key's he sounds good in :( otherwise, hes a rhythem guitar genius and his expression of pain and sadness and the darkness we all encounter in life through his lyrics is truly a masterful work of art.
First time I saw Metallica was when they opened for Ozzy back in 86. What a show.
Yup.
Yeah that was the first time I saw them opening for Ozzy and they were great and Ozzy was too
My son was singing BASTARD BASTARD at 5yrs old in back seat of my 86 mustang. He’s is now 23 and and rocking MASTER MASTER. Good memories
BASTARD! My favorite Metallica song 😆
That’s awesome, man! :) 🤘🏻
“The Master riff, that was yours, James?”
“....... Ok.”
🤣
I guess the flood of beer before, while and after writing this master of riffs played its role.
Hahaha
Mustaine
Lars - yaaaaa, ima take credit for that one if no one else is
Thirty years to the day.
R.I.P. Cliff
It should have been Lars!!!
It was way more then thirteen years ago
@@shawnwilson1514 he said 30. Not 13
Metallica died in that bus crash.
61Tbird Wtf is wrong with u?! It shouldnt have been anyone of them
Rob's bass is slung so low he could play with his toes.
He probably can.
who?lol
If james Hetfield played bass.
every time kirk speaks it just seems he’s about to burst into tears
Metallica influences:
Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Thin Lizzy, Diamond Head, UFO, early Maiden..
Misfits, GBH, Black Flag, Thin Lizzy, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, KISS, Skynyrd etc.
They had a really good taste.
@@HeavyMetalGamer45 silence
Misfits!
Budgie too, in fact, Budgie influenced many heavy metal bands of eighties even Megadeth
Mercyful Fate!!!
James has become a great speaker. I caught him on Joe Rogan too. Love James. I love this band.☺👍
Heavy Joe Chipman bees
Reload is their only good album.
Heavy Joe Chipman you caught him a joe Rogan too?
Haut Strange Filthy Troll!!
I don't believe you.
@@gqfiend on, I meant. Sorry. Was legally medicated and caffeinated when I wrote this. Fixxed it. Thanks👍
I can tell, these guys are gonna be huge.
They already are wtf
What
😂😂😂
You're a bit late.....
Yeah, I can definitely imagine their name in many shirts, don't you?
Obscure songs, proceeds to play a Misfits song. Hahaha.
Well, back then they were obscure.
Why didn't they bust his balls on that one?!?!
@@Omar_E11 Misfits was already considered an important band by then...
cause killing a baby isnt obscure...
Misfits are obscure, the majority of today's kids modern generations dont know about misfits. They never really been mainstream either.
Lars: “I think we’re more about the collective. Those guys in the 60’s and 70’s were all about themselves”
LOOOL
Tell that to Jason Newstead lol
Wonder how Jason would respond to that. Hmmmmm……..
Don't take it the wrong way. All he meant was the older guys were more original, while Metallica borrowed influences. Quit being so cynical.
😂😂😂
I always liked Jason Newsted... Rob is great and a good fit. But Jason always seemed like a nice guy and the way he was treated apparently doesn't really sound like a focus on the collective. (Also excluding guitar soli from St. Anger - which would have made the record a lot better! (I don't mind the snare...)).
They really did make it with virtually zero radio support. As a teenager in the late 1980s in Cincinnati I never heard a Metallica song on any local radio station. I did hear tracks blasting from car stereos now and then. Despite getting zero radio play, And Justice went platinum in nine weeks.
Would have been hilarious if Howard asked Metallica: "So how did you come up with the riff for the Four Horsemen?" Metallica: "Uhhh...well...about that song..." LOL
He only Made the spider riff on that song
?
Charles Leon He woulda just said it was a “collective” and not mention you know who. Lol.
Charles Leon lol ya too bad. I’m positive hetfield wrote master also. That down picking leaves no doubt.
I dont get this
0:47 is the perfect representation of a guitars players relationship with music. Immediately try’s to play it, James and Kirk.
I love Howard's interviews with musicians because he always asks questions about the songwriting
Just like Howard loved hearing about Jimmy Page coming up with the Kashmir riff, I enjoy hearing about the Metallica process. I could listen to musicians insight into their history and process all day.
Cyber Police lol
Agreed. It’d be cool if someone started a dedicated channel just for that.
For some reason these famous rich musicians don't like to talk about or reveal how these things appeared to them. But no doubt they know the exact moment.
"You didn't change your sound at all"
WOT
Metallica is always changing
Load, ReLoad, St. Anger. It changed too much to commercial radio sound.
haha
"Didn't change your sound at all..."
*Load and Reload starts sweating nervously*
Howard still pulling out these even in 2020, love it. Would love some more Beetlejuice as well...
kinda sad Beetlejuice never appear on Howard now..
This was from a few years ago.
Hell yeah
The Misfits cover "Last Caress" was what got me into Metallica when I happened on to Garage Days.
I got into them in 1986 because of a ride the lightning tshirt a kid at my school was wearing. I hadnt even heard the music yet and.i already knew that was for me. no doubt.
Ghost Rider that’s when I got into them.
‘You guys never changed your sound’. Yes I get that exact impression when I listen to Justice and the
Black album back to back 🤪🤪
Please don't
Or even The Black Album and Load back to back
Still sounds like Metallica🤪🤪
they're both good though. I think too many fans underappreciated black and beyond just because it was commercially mainstream
Well they changed definitely but you cant say the black album is worse unlike other albums...
"so how did you come up with that riff?"
~So anyway I was just vibing
That’s a celebrity caught on the spot that takes credit for someone else’s riff... shhh.... it sounds a lot like a Dave Mustaine riff but that’s none of my business....
pteradactylhippo riiiight, dave mustaine totally wrote the master of puppets riff. Hey fuck it, dave mustaine wrote the entire metallica discography. Dave mustaine nerds are the biggest retards out there.
@@pteradactylhippo Dave Mustaine didn't write MoP
@@pteradactylhippo No. I think Kirk wrote it. I believe Dave stole it from him
This is a great interview, it flows so well and everyone is participating with such precision. Music to my ears!
"Guitar Hero: Metallica" says that James wrote the Master of Puppets intro on the D string and it sounded ridiculous but when he played it on the E string it was awesome.
Yea I thought he would've mentioned that !
Didn't kirk write the intro?
@@lapinus You might be thinking of Enter Sandman from the black album. The intro and main riff were on some cassette Kirk made jamming by himself in a hotel room in the middle of the night during the Justice tour.
But through most of the 80's stuff, it was all James and Lars. Kirk would come in and do the solo's and that's it. Then Kirk would have to learn all the rhythm parts from the album once the album was finished lol.
It really wasn't until Bob Rock and the black album that the band actually sat in the studio all together as a band and worked through the songs. (Reference documenetary 'A Year and a Half in the life of Metallica' ua-cam.com/video/x4rbcpm31vc/v-deo.html).
@@lapinus chorus
@@lapinus pretty sure Kirk wrote the riff in the chorus
Howard picks the Misfits as an obscure European band Metallica covered back when they started... Misfits are from New Jersey and came little later on.
Misfits released Last Caress in 1980
Lodi, NJ
Could have put on some Venom or Diamondhead .
My 3 year old daughter likes to listen to Master of Puppets. That’s how legendary Metallica is. Their songs will never be outdated.
Howard stern is the goat for having so many talented musical acts. Not even to mention other individuals. Hes truly a fan himself which makes his questions and intentions align with most of us watching these videos. Bravo.
Meeting these guys is still on top of my must do things list , since childhood
I met James, Kirk and Jason in 97 in Orlando Arena (still have the Photo's ) backstage Before the show ! Great memories
Trujillo : "Do I even need to be here?"
Awesome interview again by Howard making the stars feeling easy and talking one on one! Great job!
One of Stern's best interviews/shows
Im 43 this year and have been a Metallica fan since 1986 when I was 9! I will always love this band! They are the greatest!! RIP Cliff Burton the greatest bass guitarist of all time.
Metalheads are the cutest. They’re all spikes, dark, brooding and black on the outside, but sensitive and intelligent in the middle with a penchant for classical music.
Jack O’nory That’s not true. Believe me. There are a thousand types of metalheads, a lot of good people, but a lot of bad people too. There are way more racists, nazis, killers, real satanists in the metal community than you imagine. Some metalheads burned churches down and killed innocent people in Norway. Saying that everybody listening to metal is super nice is as much a cliche as saying every metalhead is a crazy child killer, and it is stupid. How many people complain when Christians or politicians attack us and say we are servants to the devil ? How many people are trying to explain the masses that this is just provocation, that we don’t really like dead bodies ? The objective of provocation is to get a reaction from people, so let them be scared ! We can’t write songs about Satan or cuming blood if we don’t assume that image.
Anyway, you are probably a new metalhead, and you will soon realize that, like in every community, there are also bad people in the metal world. Wish you the best.
THE METAL_HEAD you are misinformed thats just black metal
@@sageanderson8527 Pat O Brien is Death Metal, and Dave Mustaine did quite a few violent things in the 80s, like kicking Chris Poland in the Face. The members of Motörhead also treated each other kinda badly.
@@adriznosdm8195 Actually there are a lot less of those people than you think. Everyone needs a boogeyman
Keel 0 Nah
You can find any kind of people in the other genres too
Deicide’s singer Glenn Benton is, or at least was, a real satanist
And who cares ? His music kicks ass. Same for black metal.
Hetfiield: The stuff we were hearing - we hated it.
Everyone: We feel you bruh.
I feel u
So true
Cool interview Howard, thx
I used to listen to Center Landman on my Nokia back in 2005! great band!
These guys, especially Lars & James humbled out so well as they get older. These guys are my Fucking heroes and I love them!! \m/
It appears there are bands Cliff brought in (Discharge, Misfits, GBH) and the NWOBHM bands Lars brought in (Budgie, Diamond Head). *Cliff is sorely missed.*
Waiting almost 4 Years to see this epic interview
This is an amazing conversation
One might call out Metallica for becoming famous with covers, but you've got to remember and commend them for how they gave their little-known influences so much attention. Do you think as many people would know Diamond Head or Misfits if it weren't for Metallica giving them publicity?
I could listen to them talking about their music process all day, it's so interesting.
Omar king diamond himself said that Metallica’s covers gave his career a second wind
Yeah me too. I even saw Diamond Head support them in Milton Keyns in 92. Then I covered Am I Evil when I started playing. I'm sure I probably used to think it was a Metallica song 😁
Ya. Because of metallica dimaond head got their rights/royalties from that song.
Anvil is still pissed.
Tons of bands started out playing covers, most bands do until they get signed
Wow, we grew old together.
I was listening to these guys '85.
Loved these guys since 3rd grade I'll be 41 now in 3 days and I still love em.
Love James so much. Very genuine and gracious, he's one of the good ones.
Thanks for posting..Howard has got to be the best interviewer on earth
Him or Ellen , they been around several decades .
0:46 James tries to play along and realizes his guitar is in Eb, thinks about how to compensate and then says fuck it and just dances along lol.
One of the best shows I ever saw was these guys live in '85 for the ride the lightening tour. Yingvy Malinstein was there and the Scorpions headlined. Damn ...
i love how humble they are especially james
Some of the best memories I’ve had was listening to Metallica!!! I’ll never forget these guys!!!
I miss my cousin he got me into them Everytime I hear Orion I think of him he took his life in 05 I love you and miss you Franky Stimetz R.i.p
KNAC, the birthplace of "Mandatory Metallica" at 9pm!!!
It's 9 o-clock what do you wanna hear "METALLICAAAAAAAAAAAA" damn, the good ol days!!!
"KNAC kicks my ass!"
I've been waiting for them to do this again hell yeah just yesterday I watched them play sad but true
The first Metallica song i ever heard on British radio was "Nothing else matters". I never heard of them before that. I was more into the rave scene at that time. '96 i saw them live in Birmingham,England with some friends. From that night i was a fan.
0:29 Robert awkwardly listening to the questions... Lol
Been listening from like the beginning.
Love these dudes. Wish Cliff was still here.
I love these guys they need a movie.
They have a documentary called Some Kind of Monster which follows the band after Jason left and James entered rehab for the first time. It started as just a documentary about the making of St Anger but grew into something much more as the band had more issues occur.
They have at least one: “Some Kind of Monster
How about Through the Never
They have several, lol
They have multiple movies. My favorite is "A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica" which covers the production of the Black Album, it's awesome.
0:44 Robert Trujillo - Imma head out right now
James - You talkin' about doin' Lyp syncing now?
Kirk - I knew it *smiles*
Lars - *beats the 🥁* in excitement
these guys are gonna be huge, i can feel it
Saw you guys in Cincinnati last year in the top row I like the new album peace bros been listening for 15 years
I love Howard's questions. He asks everything regular people wonder on a daily basis that annoying interviewers will never usually bring up.
Howard needs to bring back all his celebrities and start asking these questions
Thats what it makes a good interview.
105.5 KNAC! I miss those days!
Robert’s bass angle is pretty awesome. I hadn’t noticed that before.
Cool cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
I loved that cover in the beginning. They should do an album paying tribute to famous Punk songs with Metallica flavor sprinkled in!
They've covered some other Misfits songs.
They did. Garage Days
and GD Revisited
Check out garage inc and garage days.
Slayer did an album that was entirely full of punk covers except the last song, it was an original. The album was called 'Undisputed Attitude' and I highly recommend picking it up. Bad ass album!
lol
At first I was thinking, what a weird interview. By the end, I thought that was a really solid interview 0:49 HaHa the guitars are in a completely different tuning
I love listening to this interview again, I love you Me🔨allicA, just write what you like.
I found out that most of the great bands come from very humble backgrounds. They were writing what they wanted to hear and not caring what the public or media cared about. Reminds me a lot of rush and they’re rise to making great music
there are those quintessential Metallica songs that'll live forever, Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, Nothing Else Matters, Unforgiven, Sad but True. No pun intended.
What album is no pun intended on?
So Forget Ride The Lightning, KEA and AJFA?
@Shallex sad but true
I love Metallica, but the legend says that Master is Dave's work :P that's why he "can't remember"
Very interesting interview
Any musician can learn a lot from these guys! True legends! Forever 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
When a big part of your reputation was being alcoholics early in your career, your memory is probably not going to serve you well later in life.
1:33 That's a cool warm-up Kirk is doing
Thats a warm up joe satriani taught him
Wow, and he's doing it so fast. Someone needs to ask him wtf is that
Exactly James when you cant find music you wanna hear you write your own!!!🤘🤘🤘
My dad listened to u when I was like 9 and I just kept on u know.
These guys remind me of the dudes from titanic movie , when boat sinks all they wanna do is jam lol Metallica still kicks ass!!
7:20 Lars says he doesn’t feel like they’re part of the establishment. Depending on who you ask, they ARE the establishment. I know many people, including myself, were introduced to metal by Metallica. They brought thrash to the mainstream. These guys set the bar. I guess I understand what Lars meant, but from my perspective, they can’t lose at a game they created.
I love how James wanted to play along with Misfits 🤘
Love these guys
METALLICA RULES SINCE 1981!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember when Metallica wouldnt make a music video.
I was around at that time and it was almost thought of as "selling out" if thrash/death metal bands made music videos.
Thats why no Metallica music videos before One.
KMEL out of the bay would play them late at night
Mostly off jump in the fire
Only way I could hear it was with 80 foot antenna.
I was a freshman in highschool
1983
Howard Stern such a good interviewer
*I remember a time outside a stadium when Ozzy got boo'd from Metallica fans. And I remember Metallica came out and reminded fans Metallica are big fans of Ozzy.*
*Rock & Roll will never die. It came from jazz & soul with respect and inspired hip hop & rap to fight their way outta the streets with their own sound.*
*Real Reel History...*
Swag
Don’t bash the old albums, those were the absolute best.
Lars mentions radio station KNAC in Los Angeles as one of the first to play Metallica. Those were the great days when FM radio still had a little bit of free-form formatting. While KROQ would play strictly alternative/new wave/punk, KNAC played those and mixed in some heavy metal to keep it new and exciting. KCBS was another oddball favorite too - playing 'B' side stuff that ranged from great folk-influenced music to straight-ahead rock & Roll. God I miss those days before pre-programmed formatting and market-oriented business folks took over the FM dial.
The master of pupetts intro was actually a warmup riff played on the higer strings until they switched it to the low E string then it became heavy
Kirk seems like the easiest guy to be in a band with
I find it very hard to believe that James Hetfield doesn't remember who came up with the riff to master of puppets, I have heard several stories about them ripping ideas and even their name from other bands, especially in San Francisco.
I remember seeing somewhere that that first riff was originally played on the d string then they said play it on the low e and i loved it. Was James's riff
It's because he doesn't like being the center of attention, he's very self-deprecating.
James is so cool. He doesn't care who did what or who came up with what. He seems to love metallica and what they do. I would love to meet the man. My wife and I are huge fans. Look forward to seeing them in concert again.
I Love Metallica so much, they are so right in everything they said about doing things differently. 🙂😋😊😁😀🤗😍😘. They are going to keep on going until they all pass away. James, Kirk, Lars and Rob. Keep going. Love you guys
