I quite enjoyed another a day in the life video of James Hetfield. Never a dull moment in this one, as like the other I viewed previously. James is just so unreal. His laugh is so infectious. His the reason why I discovered who Metallica were. I saw him first and as the saying goes the rest is history \m/
I can't imagine the feeling of being there while Ecstasy of Gold is playing and coming out to that rawring crowd It would be so great so bad and so amazing at the same time xD
James is one of the greatest musicians I know. He hasn't let all the fame get to his head and hes such a cool guy. I'd love to spend at least one day with the guy.
James Hetfield is an amazing guy and gives all alcoholics hope that there is a way out. The new album is also incredible and they've literally reverted to Master of the Puppets/ Ride the Lightening days! Shows what you can do when your a sober guy!
I know that James won't see this comment, but here it goes, for all the fans out there. I speak for me when i say that James is like a god. Everything on him, from the way that he dealed with his problems, everything is just amazing. Fuck the haters i don't care, i love Metallica. FOR ALL FUCKING EVER! James is amazing, amazing guitar player, amazing singer, and above everything an amazing person. Happy 48th birthday James Alan Hetfield, Signed by a big fan from Portugal. lml
@@gordman6432 It's all good. Back then, I didn't know he did leads or solos. It's fun finding out stuff about your favorite bands you didn't know before.
@@BenHughes81 the man himself responds! rare to see after 11 years haha. and yeah it’s super cool to be learning new things, it helps me to connect with the music and i love little facts
04:30 to 06:30 - fly on the wall peek into the pre show rituals - clearly still feeling butterflies before going onstage, even after all these years...great footage.
I wish James would be more mellow and fun like this instead of being so uptight all the time like he was in other documentaries. The silly tantrums and ego trips just ruin the bands productivity. Just my opinion (don't shoot!) :-)
Its long way from 03 or when ever that tuning room playing Battery, Lars was in another room, it was so small. Now they get a whole garage to tune in, love them, going May 27 in Boston, Ive seen them 8x, but taking my 2 boys 18 and 20 to their first show, the plus is we are going to see Megadeth 4 days earlier a Mohegan Sun, good times!!
After seeing James do his "Yeah" for that kid who asked him to do it so he could record it I have epic size respect for him. I mean I already respected the guy but when I see "Famous Rock Stars" being humble and down to earth with their fans like that it gives me goosebumps, I love shit like that. Fuck yeah James Hetfield you're the fucking man.
i agree with you on that! he's not the guy you wanna meet on a dark street in the midle of the night, or well if you didnt know him that would be very intimidating. but he is James from metallica so i would be happy to meet him :D
"One's shorter than the other... it just-- *pissed off sigh* *weird crying*" "You'll be all outta balence now." "I know... maybe the right hand will go faster cuz there's less weight on it." and then the random Moonwalk onto the stage lol
EPIC part.and to those that don't know exactly what he's doing,hes reading a take out menu and taking the orders and putting it into the lyrics of Master of Puppets.
actually, james hetfield did write and record alot of solos and lead riffs, he doesnt only just play rhythm guitar. he played the solo on 'nothing else matters' as well as others
that's not the guitar which became the Iron cross, just a purple gibson les Paul he used for a while in 2003 2004. however the Iron cross orignally a gibson les Paul which james customized. In 2009 esp Made a signature model out of it.
Man, James is only 47 and the band is probably considering putting the band to bed. I know they're an old band but in my opinion they have at least 2-3 albums left in them. I'm only 23 but started liking them only 2 years ago. My point is, I don't want them to quit yet. I'm not trying to seem too demanding but they cannot stop making music. If they do, I'll die of shock. Please guys, don't stop yet! METALLICA FOR LIFE!!!!!!
@1stSgtSoulStealer It's Their Intro Song. 'Ecstasy of Gold' Its a Classical Song.. but they did a cover for it.. they've been using it as their intro song for their concerts since 1983.
Call me lame, but that smile James pulls at 5:17 is just what makes James that fucking down to earth, awesome man that he is. That's one genuine smile. James kicks ass, Metallica kicks ass.
I don't care how old he is today, he's the sexiest man alive!!!
Valentina Ortega agreed.
7 years later, he still is
he really is
james and kirk are the hottest men ever!!
Indeed!
2:30
Genius idea. You're own personal Hetfield yeah for the rest of your life.
+MrBibbityBop I'd be angry if I lost that phone.
Not personal anymore cause we've all just recorded it off this vid. Boom
Ron Swanson outstanding move
I thought it was an obnoxious thing to ask
5:30 James Praying before they start is just a Powerful moment.
That’s the right way to start a concert.
@@anonymousarsonist9653 dang right
2:29 is the reason why James is my hero and My Idol.He s just a great Human.God bless his soul.
Yeah his just so unreal in my eyes, too 💪💖
8:16 He kicked the table;
HE is the table
+1
GASP!
He wasnt The table Back then
Thats not a table LOL
I'd love to see James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett go head to head in a guitar battle.
Derpytron84 Rocks! Different styles, it won’t work. Kirk wins
6:42 HIT THE LIGHTS!!!
I like him when he had long hair
I like him both,he just looks awesome anyways! :3
He looks like the dude from scooby doo
Christoffer its good I saw your comment just now, or back then I could never unsee what you said... XD
XD
Nos his hair is grown
i really admire kirk, he never lets the guitar down from his hand even before the concert

Lmao!!! James is hilarious xDDD
Lars: "Where are the menus?"
James : "I got them all here, I'm making a new setlist". LOL.
I think a Chinese menu to the tune of "Master of Puppets" would make a great song! Get on that Al Yankovic!
spring roll spring roll master of spring rolls i dip in the suace
7:04 so precious
HAHA- this.
James is mad cool. I met him in 1997 and 2003, both times he was a great guy, and very funny in 1997. He kicks ass everytime on stage!
3:00 oh those STRING BENDING SKILLS HOLD HELL
Can he feel them against his bones, what?! :D
Bro the skin from my fingers cut themselves just from looking at it
1:54 James playing "No Leaf Clover" on drums.
Love how Lars is the second best drummer in his own band lmao
I can't imagine the feeling of being there while Ecstasy of Gold is playing and coming out to that rawring crowd
It would be so great so bad and so amazing at the same time xD
I love how he recites the "Spring Roll" menu in Master of Puppets-ness.
SPRING ROLL! SPRING ROLL!
is there going to be a day that trujilo is not wearing short pants?
That day has come it only took 14 years
You mean him wearing long pants or not wearing anything?)
He's always so happy. That is so great to see. Kind of gets me sad, because he is the best person alive. :'(
Saw them on this tour with Godsmack in DC on October 17, 2004...such a badass show!
2:50!
So he CAN play like that! It was awesome. Should be more clips with him playing fast solos!
James is one of the greatest musicians I know. He hasn't let all the fame get to his head and hes such a cool guy. I'd love to spend at least one day with the guy.
"Where are the all the menu's?"
"I got 'em all, I'm making a new set list."
Bot Lars got stuck @8:27
😂
Hell yeah! James is my idol. Great guy, great guitar player, great singer, he can do it all.
0:20 i'm dying XD
Parsley and BEEAN !best song after Master of Puppets
James Hetfield is an amazing guy and gives all alcoholics hope that there is a way out. The new album is also incredible and they've literally reverted to Master of the Puppets/ Ride the Lightening days! Shows what you can do when your a sober guy!
man you helped me a lot and i learned almost all metallica songs from your lessons ..RESPECT

Happy 49 James! thanks for all the good music you hace apported to the world! :')
James praying...thank you GOD for James, Lars, Kirk, Robert......😎
the fact that this video was made in 2007
Been playing since the 80s and still sexy as hell...I love his voice grrrrrrr!!
thx for putting this video together. I completely enjoyed it.
james is my hero. great guy
i just love watching the guys having a nice time, just like old time friends instead of just a band
Best metal band ever! They never loose a step!
i think the het is totally underrated as a guitarist
2:52
First time I've heard James do lead guitar. Pretty good.
he’s got solos on studio versions of songs too
oh shut i just realized this comment is 11 years old
@@gordman6432 It's all good. Back then, I didn't know he did leads or solos. It's fun finding out stuff about your favorite bands you didn't know before.

He does. James plays the solo for Northing Else Matters, Whiskey in the Jar, and parts of Orion and Master of Puppets
3:06 jesus frickin' christ why not just rip the damn strings out of the neck! Het must have rawhide fingertips...
04:30 to 06:30 - fly on the wall peek into the pre show rituals - clearly still feeling butterflies before going onstage, even after all these years...great footage.

Well he was sober and healthier both physically and mentally here. A sober and healthy James is a fun, laidback James.

5:40 I didn't know you could pray to yourself O_O
I'm glad they upgraded their tuning rooms now
Meu sonho é conhecer ele ^^
tocar guitarra com ele ^^
mais pena que isso nunca vai acontecer ='(
the part about my tattoo made me re-like the mighty Het once again... he is saved, thank God!
2:41 that moment when you realise that James has better musical sensibility than Kirk and is probably a better lead lmao
It seems these guys always have one hell of a time coming up with a setlist lol
8:31 "To all our haters"
What a pleasure it would be just to meet Mr. James Hetfield!
7:13 Kirk is stronger than Rob, lol.
Are you stupid? He just has better strength to weight ratio
James Hetfeild has made an art out of variations and blends of "Yeah" and "Hey".
Heahyeaheahheheahaaah.
After seeing James do his "Yeah" for that kid who asked him to do it so he could record it I have epic size respect for him. I mean I already respected the guy but when I see "Famous Rock Stars" being humble and down to earth with their fans like that it gives me goosebumps, I love shit like that. Fuck yeah James Hetfield you're the fucking man.
kirk and james = best combo of guitarists possible
I like the solo from battery, how they filmed it.. awesome!
Happy birthday jaymz, and thanks for being the reason pickin' up the guitar \m/
James demonstrates all critics what a great guitarrist he is!
i agree with you on that!
he's not the guy you wanna meet on a dark street in the midle of the night, or well if you didnt know him that would be very intimidating. but he is James from metallica so i would be happy to meet him :D
it is the first song from the ...and justice for all.. album, the name of the song is "Blackened".
something good about james is that he has a great personality as well as great gift
I loved it when he was making up lyric melodies for songs based on the menu items
watching this : Fight Fire-Welcome Home ( Sanitarium) live at " Giornata dell'arte " 2010 . THANK YOU!
"One's shorter than the other... it just-- *pissed off sigh* *weird crying*"
"You'll be all outta balence now."
"I know... maybe the right hand will go faster cuz there's less weight on it."
and then the random Moonwalk onto the stage lol
Damn, James Hetfield is better at drumming than my drummer.
1:34 sounds really good..i love that litttle part..cant get over it
James is the man!
I just saw them two days ago in Dallas!!!!
I love you James! LOL
EPIC part.and to those that don't know exactly what he's doing,hes reading a take out menu and taking the orders and putting it into the lyrics of Master of Puppets.
actually, james hetfield did write and record alot of solos and lead riffs, he doesnt only just play rhythm guitar.
he played the solo on 'nothing else matters' as well as others
ok we have to do the setlist for tonite...
SPRING ROLLS!!!!!
I love the way they play Battery at the start.
They covered "The Ecstasy Of Gold" for a tribute album to Ennio Morricone. The year was around 2006 when they did so.
That guitar at5:55 was the iron cross it was before it actually became the iron cross but that was the guitar that he customized it from
+Goreball studios i thought the iron cross is an esp?
that's not the guitar which became the Iron cross, just a purple gibson les Paul he used for a while in 2003 2004. however the Iron cross orignally a gibson les Paul which james customized. In 2009 esp Made a signature model out of it.
'SPRING ROLL & VEGETABLES' YEAH. "WAAAA...ONE'S SHORTER THANT THE OTHER' LMAO I love this video!! Thanks!! Ü

9 years later and I'll doubt you'll be able to see this but metallica is still aliveeee
@1stSgtSoulStealer
It's Their Intro Song.
'Ecstasy of Gold'
Its a Classical Song.. but they did a cover for it..
they've been using it as their intro song
for their concerts since 1983.
8:30 - A plain black explorer... classic hetfield
Dang that voice. Legendary
thanks guys
yeeee .... i have to save for the rest of the show XDDDDD
amazing man
it's great to see that even after all these years and success they are still nervous before they go on stage and don't do it just because they have to
Hey its the guy that taught me guitar! Respect to you dude!
james definitely need to do more solos, i think metallica can sounds awesome with 2 lead guitars making solos :D
Wow I've never seem him solo like that before!!
Go james!
happy birthday JAMES HETFIELD \M/
2:52 you know youre kick ass, when you can play a solo and turn it into a punch line. brilliant
I love that he prays before concerts.
Hearing that ecstasy of gold sends a torrent of shivers down te spine.
I wrote "Table" to the search and this came up
whenever i see backstage footage of them they are almost always practicing.
The last part where james looses his mind is the best!!! xD
lol! Kicking down stands is so cool!
Call me lame, but that smile James pulls at 5:17 is just what makes James that fucking down to earth, awesome man that he is. That's one genuine smile.
James kicks ass, Metallica kicks ass.
04:19 if you gonna hear this anywhere anytime soon, you're in the right place!
He wrote the solo to "Nothing Else Matters" and he plays it live.
