Reading through the comments, all these people whining about "why name him Castor? It's "beaver" in Spanish!" He's named Castor because it means "shining one" or "to shine" in Greek. That's why James named him that.
It os also the name of a character from the Greek mythology who is the son of Zeus and Leda, which is, by the way the reason why the star was named like that (Castor is a star from the constellation of gemini)
Anyone who has seen the documentary "Absent" understands how huge this is. Despite the travel and time commitment that is inevitable he is doing all he can to right the wrongs from his own childhood and stop the cycle. Being a father is the best and most important thing a man can do. This is awesome. (men and women both should check out the movie/documentary "Absent.")
You may have a great birthday party someday, but you'll probably never have a birthday party where you get sprayed with silly string by the members of Metallica during one of their shows.
What a wonderful dad James H. have become, with all their achievement in their music he still so grounded. So awesome video, more respect and thanks for sharing the video.
who would dislike this wholesome family event...maybe megadeth haters? or any1 who hates metallica i guess. don't boggle ur mind over the precious time given to you.
@Sammytiki REALLY??? omg?!? be proud that you are in a so close relationship to james hetfield. but do the hetfields not have a privat teacher?? but I think james is a down to earth superstar, and he did not come with necessary...
@katho8472 he's a young a hardrocker! for him that doesn't matter! ;D we all hope, castor wil be the next frontman of metallica. he only should keep it up. he's on a good and optimal way...
Nepotism lives. Metal is worse for it lol. Ozzy. Mustaine. Trujillo. Hetfield. Ulrich. Etc etc etc all their kids get a free ride and leg up while everyone else struggles to even get heard.
YISH! 11 years ago now….Castor is now 21! Old enough to share a cold one with his old man now….It’s now time to truly call him “grandpapa Het”, rather than just papa Het!
Lololol James: What should I name my son guys? Robert: Castor. It means legend in spanish. James: Sick! Thanks man! Robert: Pfft. xD (I know James had Castor before Rob was in the band, it's still a funny thought though)
@pellyell it's olé in cases like this birthdays and events like this one it's just a way to express our hapiness for someone just like saying "nice going kid ur the man" it's just another big party for us :)
When he's a Teen and says "My dad is James Hetfield" All his friends gonna go: "Who da fuk iz James Hetfield? I only know Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber and all that crap"
imagine having one "uncle Kirk"... holy shit...
imagine having one papa het
Imagine having an Uncle Mustaine, holy shit
@@Krzztl ahahhahahahhaha underrated
godfather lars
@@Krzztl He would replace him by another nephew in a few months. XD
I seen castor with ottto in Venice beach California jamming. Venice west. Always praying 🙏
@MotorbreathMaster really?? cool!!! I'm going to be at novarock nickelsdorf. it's a rockfestival in austria and metallica are going to play there...
@Munnchbunnch oh yeah he does!!! he's going to be the next metallica frontman !! (i hope)
HAHAHHA!!! :D The kid had a blast, no doubt! :D
One of the most badass metalheads is one of the coolest dads ever , hell yeah \m/
In my opinion, I guess parenthood and marriage (ACTUALLY) DID KILL THE BEAST THAT WAS, WAS, METALLICA!
how many dads can celeberate their kids birthday while working at same time?? haha!!
Kirk is well prepared
Like the good uncle he is!
James is cool.. he shares the stage with his kiddos...Enough said.
Fender TeleCastor
HAHAHAHA, this comment is too good
Fils666 haha
Fils666 well done mate
TeleCastor ✊😀
James Hetfield -> one of the best fathers in the world for as far as i know!
Tbf any loving dad would do this if they had the chance, but unfortunately, not everyone is in a popular band like Metallica
Yeah and but not every father appreciates his child and sticks around to love and care for his kid/s
Respect! James is a heck of a father!!
Reading through the comments, all these people whining about "why name him Castor? It's "beaver" in Spanish!"
He's named Castor because it means "shining one" or "to shine" in Greek. That's why James named him that.
Ken Jones Castor Is te name of a constellation
It os also the name of a character from the Greek mythology who is the son of Zeus and Leda, which is, by the way the reason why the star was named like that (Castor is a star from the constellation of gemini)
Thought it would've been a pun on Stratocaster
@@KevinGsWK AND A TELECASTER HAHAHAHAHAH
It was James' father's name, I reckon.
It would be cool if Castor follows in his dads footsteps and starts his own band and they become just as good as Metallica.
devinmetalfreak this is a little late, but he isn't interested in bands at all actually.
Acillatem
@@Krzztl 😂
@@skinnyfella4816 hahaha I come from the future to tell you, in 2022 Castor have a band called BASTARDANE and sound really good 😎👍
He has a band now called BASTARDANE. They sound nice. Lets hope he can make success for his own talent, it seems he is in the right track for that.
That's amazing how James does that for his kids (:
Imagine ALL those people singing happy birthday to you! It's awesome.
Kirk is well prepared
I give Metallica full rights to silly string me.
this is awesome and now castor is touring the country in his own band! long live the hetfields
Just a Big man sharing sons birthday with us.... with Metallica family as a part of family... bless you big man and your family...
aaaw, thats kid from some kind of monster movie :D
Yeah if course he is. His James's son. He was maybe just over turning 3.
hahah kirk is like "fuck this poster, FOAM HIM!!!"
I’m surprised he didn’t pie him
Dang he is 20 years old now
That poor kid, he didn't see it coming! :)
Holy shit, he is my age when I was his age! :O
:D
So you're 22? I got confused
We've all grown up with Metallica and they have grown up with us. Love how grounded these guys are.
I love the way how James Hetfield sing "Happy Birthday" at the end ^^

Here in Mexico castor means Beaver c:
Did he name his son after a stratocaster or a telecastor
You may have a great birthday party someday, but you'll probably never have a birthday party where you get sprayed with silly string by the members of Metallica during one of their shows.
Happy birthday tooo youuuuuaaaah ! YEAH! - thats the way it should be by James ^^
What a wonderful dad James H. have become, with all their achievement in their music he still so grounded. So awesome video, more respect and thanks for sharing the video.
And now he's a kick-ass drummer in a kick-ass band 🤘
I bet his birthday celebrations are gonna get even cooler as he gets older!
"Don't tell your mom we did that!"
2:00 brazzers
Omg lmao
Nope, Castor, as in Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology. The motor oil is Castrol.
+Steve Byrne castor oil.
Nobody:
James Hetfield: "happy birthday to youuu OO YEHEAHH!!"
😂😂😂
los metaleros tambien tienen su corazoncito
Awwwww how sweeeet
so he is 15 now?
who would dislike this wholesome family event...maybe megadeth haters? or any1 who hates metallica i guess. don't boggle ur mind over the precious time given to you.
I love how kirk was in his mid 40's and looked 20 with nail polish and eye shades
this happened in Portugal
I love how James just walks off when they start the spray stuff xD
Fun fact: Castor means beaver in french
i'm twelve and this is my favorite band of all time.
That is so cool.
😂😂😂😂 yo even his moms jumped in. Parents getting payback for being a pain lol. Awe that’s so cool, make Castor feel like a member of the band/team.
James i'm so proud of you
Surprised he didn’t get pied
There you are playing games at home, and the doorbell rings and uncle Kirk, Robert And Lars are at the door.
I recall this shit! Me and a couple of friend were yelling "he got bukkaked!"
@Sammytiki REALLY??? omg?!? be proud that you are in a so close relationship to james hetfield. but do the hetfields not have a privat teacher?? but I think james is a down to earth superstar, and he did not come with necessary...
Boys @ 21 year old man now
@katho8472 he's a young a hardrocker! for him that doesn't matter! ;D we all hope, castor wil be the next frontman of metallica. he only should keep it up. he's on a good and optimal way...
Just two days before this, Ronnie James Dio left us... ;'(
And this day (16th May) is my birthday...
Metallica Tradition of course with the whipped cream pies and silly string...
and they kept the Metallica tradition of spraying the birthday boy with silly string,
awesome!!! made me smile n feel warm :)
1:30 Castor: "Hey! Daddy tell Kirk to stop spraying me NOW!"
Castor motor oil. Fuel the song by metallica. Castor is jamess son. James likes cars. James is illuminati confirmed.
Dude, it's Castrol Oil, not Castor.
Castor oil is for hair and skin LMAO
lol fail
illuminati confirmed.. wtf are u talking about.. you sound so stupid
+Raffie Quler 10- 4(T)
Nepotism lives. Metal is worse for it lol.
Ozzy. Mustaine. Trujillo. Hetfield. Ulrich. Etc etc etc all their kids get a free ride and leg up while everyone else struggles to even get heard.
YISH! 11 years ago now….Castor is now 21! Old enough to share a cold one with his old man now….It’s now time to truly call him “grandpapa Het”, rather than just papa Het!
wow were the same age
Lololol
James: What should I name my son guys?
Robert: Castor. It means legend in spanish.
James: Sick! Thanks man!
Robert: Pfft. xD
(I know James had Castor before Rob was in the band, it's still a funny thought though)
Awww..tht was awesome..happy bday castor..love u james,u rock!

Lucky kiddo
Humiliation
1:33 kirk started the foam thing lol
His son should have said , how do you feel, feel aliveeeeeeee!!!!!
They will all say "James who? Haha my dad is Andy form Black Veil Brides, I'm the coolest kid in the world." haha
awesome :)
@pellyell it's olé in cases like this birthdays and events like this one it's just a way to express our hapiness for someone just like saying "nice going kid ur the man" it's just another big party for us :)
Love how Kirk sprays him straight to the face...no mercy from kirk!
lol uncle Kirk 1:33
omg..this is awesome..hetfield is the man..
When he's a Teen and says "My dad is James Hetfield" All his friends gonna go: "Who da fuk iz James Hetfield? I only know Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber and all that crap"
That’s gotta be the coolest fucking birthday present ever
I thought he would shout 'Are you alive? Ye-heah!.' Still cool though.
i got a better one for castor "My dad is the singer of Metallica, and one the most famous people in the world..." now beat that...
Spray him with that shit that spontaneously combusts, great idea
it was in Lisbon, Portugal, 18th of May 2010, first night, sold out gig obviously!!! And they played a second gig on the 19th.
Castor Hetfield doesn't want headphones brought me here.
And this time he got owned.
lol, james just got some of that stuff on his shirt, he gets a cloth en castor just walks away with a pie on his head xD
Love of a son...is love of a son. ❤️
Castor:"Oh yeeeaahhhh!!"
0:48 BR BR BR BR BR FDPPPPPP
well, I dont know if its supposed 2 be funny, but I already laughed. anyways sorry, my English is bad. hehe
Cute kid. And James is a cool dad, other than naming his kid Castor. Does he have another son named Pollux? ;)
i fukin cried, i just... aahww... I CAN'T
and then the proud thing castor could do is punch all his friend in the face for not knowing good artist
If I was James Hetfield's daughter/son.. I would cry every day because my Father would be JESUS HIMSELF.
@pellyell sounds are a little bit diferent but if the purposeis the same then keep on "owaying" xD
Cheers
James is the best father here!
James is a way better father that his father was!!
JAMES HETFIELD!!
@manpower386 my dad is the founder of apple sofwares , beat that ! ... wait a sec , FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU
