I’m honestly not a fan of his mustache and hairstyle now. It makes him look older (which I know he isn’t young). The goatee makes him look younger. That’s just my opinion though.

@@killswitch2408 The Production is everything for me. It’s rushed and compressed. Hardwired’s productions smooth and sounds great.

@@Luke_22 hot take: i enjoy the production of dm way more than any of their albums since the black album. load & reload, and hardwired are just way too stale sounding production wise. atleast dm had character. and st anger was just something else lol.
Genuinely, James Hetfield is my favorite musician of all time. I had the good fortune of shaking his hand. He might even vaguely remember that moment if ever it were to come about.
Lot of people hating on James for ageing. Drugs, alcohol, stress of being famous and the loss of Cliff made him age a lot more then he probably would of naturally. It’s a shame
2018 And James just aged over night, got the old man eyes the works, weird, Mustaine looked young for 30 years or so and then boom aged over night too.
St Anger is a hideous album. Reload had a couple of decent songs but mostly not good. Garage inc is badass but all covers. S&M not fantastic. I'd have to choose Death magnetic with load coming in at a fairly close second. Just my opinion 👍relax🙏🤘
As much as I love James, he's uncomparable to Freddie. And if James is one of the best, so is Axl Rose, Jon Bon Jovi, Steven Tyler, Kurt Cobain, Dave Mustaine etc...
Onun burcu, " ASLAN " olduğu için olabilir mi acaba !? ( mmmmm, tabii ki öyle !! ) ASLAN burcu olduğu için, ASLAN gibi görünüyor, o ROCK- HEAVY METAL dünyasının ASLAN'I !! Kalplerimizin ASLAN'I !! 🤩🤩😍😍
I love how Hetfield has always been one of those Rockstars that would never be brutal or nasty to somebody. Other than certain other Guys from the early 80s.
Didn’t he used to spit on people at concerts back in the day? When Justin Bieber did it a few years ago he got enormous hate for it so that makes James no better
The change between 2018 and 2019 is unbelievable, like he suddenly aged 10 years. James kept a young look for many years, I remember seeing the XXX anniversary shows and he looked young and in shape, like he went back in time, he undoubtedly worked very hard and probably got some gear to get in shape for those shows. Overall he is quite well nowadays, considering almost 40 years of endless touring and heavy alcohol use.
I have a feeling this video is from earlier this year, because the song titles are on the left. And the static effect was put on the years and usually he just fades out the years.
Vi a un amigo, compañero de alcohol y drogas, ví mi vida corriendo a través de los temas y fotos, me emociones, casi lloro recordadando todas las etapas de mi vida al lado de Metallica, colegio, universidad, matrimonio, separación, mi hijo de 4 años con sus baquetas emulando a Ulrich, vi mi existencia desde los 13 años cuando me aprendi el "máster of puppets" y ahora mis 41,. Veo a mi Idolo líder de la mejor banda de todos los tiempos.
Yeah the morph effect was weird... it didnt stop long enough on any one photo to see what was going on, so it was more like "Having a bad acid trip while looking at James Hetfield aging" ..... I always thought James and Kirk aged quite well, but that last image he looked like my grandpa. LOL
Creo a ciencia cierta que el vocalista de Metallica el señor James H. Con el tiempo ha ido mejorando,es como el buen vino mientras más años tengan mejor
He looks refined, and still rockin it out! One thing he is not a quitter and never stops. Saw Hardwired concert and they rocked the auditorium!!! He is only a year older than me, I sure couldn’t, or anyone else except President Trump could keep up with that kind of energy and stamina. I really hope they do at least one more🤟🏻
Ah, Mr. Mike Inez...dude still basically looks the same after all this time. You know that his SECOND band, after playing lounges and clubs in LA, was with Ozzy? Then he joined AIC. Not bad for around 2-3 bands. AIC was Sean Kinney's second, after playing for years with his dad in a big-band setting.
I enjoyed that quite a lot. Thank you for the effort. What a carrier of charisma (even tho he likes shooting ducks ... in their nest). I just hope no one ever does that of me.

Dude went from teen kid to 30 y/o adult in only 2 years from 1986 to 1988
It’s a huge change! like puberty finally caught up with him at 23-24

Best those were a crazy couple of years lol
Testostorone kicked in from all the women, touring etc.😂

James goes from teen dude bro to cowboy to biker dude to dad
And then grandpa 🥲
Teen dude bro hahahaha

nah james was cooler in the 80s
James was fucking BADASS in the Black Album era
@@yepp7686 yeah he was the best in 83-91
actually 83-94
Actually 1963 - 2021
Ever since he was born he was badass and he is still today
From kid james, to the cowardly lion, to roadeo biker het, to everyone's papa het.
ㅋㅋㅋ😭
Cowardly lion😂
There will never be another James....just unique and he will live forever and ever ...the best heavy metal voice ever
I would say he’s the second best metal vocalist after Glenn Peach of Glenn Peach and the Fuzz
At his prime, about 1992, Phil Anselmo was the best for Metal and Sebastian Bach for Hard Rock IMO.
Some of these morphing pictures scare the crap out of me. It’s just James, yet some pictures look like he’s got demons inside him morphing in his expressions throughout all the eras.
everyone has those :) the trick is to discover them time after time in your life :)
He has more than his fair share of them I'd say.
Speacilly 87-88
Он блядь лучший, Металлика весчь
James Hetfield suffered from second and third degree burns and even today you can still see that in his face
Damn, 88 then 89, its he aged 5 years in 1
The first picture that he showed as 1989 is actually from 1992
After 2019 James started to get old very fast
Its the beard change
The last rehab took it's toll, I think.
I actually think he looks a ton younger now than he used to

Hey🌹all love and how are you doing today?
the transfer from like 2000s james to grandpa het happens so quickly lol
Yeah, speacially by 2005 or 2006
Fr
Papa Het to GrandPapa Het
The drinking probably played a part in that
thats life. all of a sudden happens round that age.
1987 you can see the rage and sadness in his face over losing Cliff.
LOL no
it was probably just james having fun at a concert ;_;
Its just a random pic, i doubt he was thinking of cliff in a random picture a year later lmao
Too much drama. You cant see shit
Ironically in the first 2 pictures after it mentions Cliff's death James is pulling silly faces
This was really moving. The man is like a family member to us 80’s kid headbangers.
I dont want they get old i want they're live for ever
Yeah I also dont like them death I want they live immortal 😀
you just murdered the english language
but you're right
Lot of people hating on James for ageing. Drugs, alcohol, stress of being famous and the loss of Cliff made him age a lot more then he probably would of naturally. It’s a shame
But he’s healthy and nothing bad has killed him so he would live more
Kkk bulshit, he's better than most
89-92 that handlebar moustache was untouchable
Until he shaved it off🤣🤣😜
He was he is and he will be a greatest Metalhead in the world! Long live uncle James! 🤘❤️
Papa Het
2018 And James just aged over night, got the old man eyes the works, weird, Mustaine looked young for 30 years or so and then boom aged over night too.
Yup. I think for James it was mainly the weight gain that made him look older. Ofc he was going through some shit during this period.
He gaind weight and then after rehab lost weight and thats how body and face react and skin after loosing weight 👍 pardon english
@@verav2728 that was pretty good English. 👍
Its mostly chemo for mustaine i believe, that shit takes a toll on the body
@@moonman4307 And the years of drug and Alcohol addiction. Both men are survivors for sure
Load, reload, garage days, s&m, st. Anger, death magnetic, and hardwired to self destruct... UNDERRATED
I personally agree I’m listening to those albums and they’re so great. They have the feel of hetfield in them and that’s what makes em great
If load and reload was condensed to one album it would be a fantastic Hard rock album
@@symbiosisai trueee there’s too much crap on reload lol
St Anger is a hideous album. Reload had a couple of decent songs but mostly not good. Garage inc is badass but all covers. S&M not fantastic. I'd have to choose Death magnetic with load coming in at a fairly close second. Just my opinion 👍relax🙏🤘
He and Freddie Mercury. The biggest and ultimate frontmans of all times !!!

Totally agreed!
how dare you put Hetfield on the same level as Freddie Mercury
Herfield sucks
James Hetfield looks, grins and roars like a lion in human form.

Even in your own evolution, You cant escape the Dave Mustaine

9:58 that was beautiful.
He went from teen dude to cool dude to cowboy to biker man and finally to our very own papa het

The transition from sanitarium and one was pretty good too
The transition between battery and enter sandman was beautiful
Amazing how often he changes his style.
Best frontman and rhythm guitarist ever!!!
1988-1989 change is so sudden, looks like different people.
Facial hair man and the muscle mass can definitely change ya
The last picture scares me, he looks so skinny. I genuinely worry for the guys in the band wheather they be in the band or they used to be.
he just wanted to lose the weight i bet. probably also cause he went to rehab
bro he looks better these days , checkout metallica's 40th anniversary
Do not get old bro...
That’s unfortunately all of our realities I’m afraid
1999-2003 Jaymz is 💯/10, I’m styling my look after his 1999 look.

No, no one stole my sweet roll if that's what you were guessing
I like that he's been changing his haircut and beardstyle every 2 or 3 years.
You got me through some hard times Papa Het! You are loved 🤘😁
Holy cow! Last 3 years look like happened at 2x speed.
'85 to '95 were his best heavy metal hair years, and proly their best live performances era.
What a wonderful video.
Thank you so very much.
