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)
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.
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.")
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.
Castor, along with his brother Pollux were 2 famous Argonauts in the Greek Mythology. The 2 most brightest stars of Gemini costellation are called Castor and Pollux after the twin brothers. In Latin the twins are also known as Gemini or Castores. And yes, Castor is a cool name for a kid!
3InSupremes Yes, he goes hunting a lot. In the 1992 video "year and a half in the life of metallica" it shows him blasting stuff with a shotgun for fun.
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
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!!
James is cool.. he shares the stage with his kiddos...Enough said.
Respect! James is a heck of a father!!
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
That's amazing how James does that for his kids (:
Imagine ALL those people singing happy birthday to you! It's awesome.
this is awesome and now castor is touring the country in his own band! long live the hetfields

Ken Jones Castor Is te name of a constellation

Thought it would've been a pun on Stratocaster
@@KevinGsWK AND A TELECASTER HAHAHAHAHAH
It was James' father's name, I reckon.
Fender TeleCastor
HAHAHAHA, this comment is too good
Fils666 haha
Fils666 well done mate
TeleCastor ✊😀
Just a Big man sharing sons birthday with us.... with Metallica family as a part of family... bless you big man and your family...
We've all grown up with Metallica and they have grown up with us. Love how grounded these guys are.
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.
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.
I love the way how James Hetfield sing "Happy Birthday" at the end ^^

Did he name his son after a stratocaster or a telecastor
@MotorbreathMaster really?? cool!!! I'm going to be at novarock nickelsdorf. it's a rockfestival in austria and metallica are going to play there...
Castor, along with his brother Pollux were 2 famous Argonauts in the Greek Mythology. The 2 most brightest stars of Gemini costellation are called Castor and Pollux after the twin brothers. In Latin the twins are also known as Gemini or Castores. And yes, Castor is a cool name for a kid!
and i thought having this sung at a restaurant for me in front of 20 people was emberassing
that kid is one lucky bastard, having my #1 influence for me to pick up the guitar as his dad
It’s mad to think that Castor is now a drummer in his own band
That is so cool.
If you just dont know what face to do when you're sing you the happy birthday's song, imagine in a METALLICA concert with million of people!
That was awesome!!! Good job dad!!
What a awesome dad
too cool man, best celebrity dad in the history of ever!
gosh.,imagine this kids childhood!amazing
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, you look like a Hetfield and you rock like one too.
Fun fact: Castor means beaver in french
@Sammytiki Whoa! That's awesome! Wait...did he go to a private or public school?
Happy Birthday Castor! Very Cool:)
Happy Birthday Son...
Castor:"Oh yeeeaahhhh!!"
EL TIPO DURO SE vuelve un tiernito cuando de sus hijos se trata eso es lo q mas me gusta de el .
3InSupremes Yes, he goes hunting a lot. In the 1992 video "year and a half in the life of metallica" it shows him blasting stuff with a shotgun for fun.
Surprised he didn’t get pied
Like Father, Like Son
so he is 15 now?
lets hope his son becomes the frontman for a metal band too now that james is 50
People were singing in portuguese where was this?
Nope, Castor, as in Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology. The motor oil is Castrol.
+Steve Byrne castor oil.
@Sammytiki does he wear headphones to school?
8/21/06 was rj West 11th.... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY CASTER

That's awesome!!!!
Castor Hetfield doesn't want headphones brought me here.
And this time he got owned.
What a cool birthday
1:30 Castor: "Hey! Daddy tell Kirk to stop spraying me NOW!"
That is so cool & sweet. 👍
This was the first time he took those headphones off since the movie Some Kind of Monster
@HeavyRRRMetal what is it then?
James is the best father here!
James is a way better father that his father was!!
JAMES HETFIELD!!

@pellyell this is in portugal and it's not oway xD
He should be 17 by now... i wonder if he has a similar voice to his dad from the old days
That’s gotta be the coolest fucking birthday present ever

LOL This show was in Portugal (my country),Castor means beaver in Portuguese and apparently Castor has my age!!!
@Rafinha9823 was castor the victims of the fun?
Castor of puppets, he's pulling your silly-string
So cool. Best dad ever.
@HeavyRRRMetal same thing for canada(at least quebec)
He doesn't mind the headphones this time.
His son should have said , how do you feel, feel aliveeeeeeee!!!!!
