@bengativo6 He was like 17 when he started the band and ummmm in the 80s seatbelts were required in the front seat or you could get a ticket. In the backseat, in Canada, kids had to wear them. I remember how we had to put them on when we would go to Niagara Falls.
I love James Hetfield, but I gotta admit, he's definitely a lot more invested and sincere when he speaks to interviewers in contrast to when he speaks to fans. Nothing bad, or unique for that matter amongst A-list stars, but still.
However, I love the way Brian Johnson treats fans.
It's interesting to see all you Metallica fans that are too young to know that cars in the early sixties only had lap belts (and they were an option up to a certain year) He's probably wearing it, you just can't see it.
This is one of the reasons I love James. Just go chase the dream and catch it, you know. I can totally relate to that sarcasm-shit James talks about at the end. The shit you get from "friends" and family.
@mattressjedi i didn't expect them to whine like little greedy wimps about people stealing their music. that and none of their music rocks post black album..
God i love this guy. Its weird to say because Im really young but i think he's sexy:) I love his laugh its so cute! Hes so down to earth. I REALLY hope they come to Texas soon:/
James is amazing, all the shit he had to pass trough , i mean i know there are worst things in the world that your father absent or your mother dead because of the cancer, but i dont know , just sayin´ he is such an awesome person with all his defects and everything ...i really look up at him.
@Corrupt5358 black sabbath did not suck asshole. cliff died in like 86 dude and metallica still made some pretty skilled shit. so go back to suckin your moms tit because obviously you arent mature enough to get off yet faggot.
his childhood... sounds like mine. like.... SCARILY accurate to mine XD I don't wanna get a job. I am totally convinced that I am going to hit it big with music. I have posters of my fave bands on my wall.... I get in trouble for blasting music before my parents get home. I was convinced that when I first picked up a guitar (age 4) that if I just strummed really fast that I would sound like James/Kirk. XD This is kinda creepy XD lol
@freddiekurtery a lot of Rods don't have seatbelts. It's actually kinda legal to drive around in a car without a belt on...if there's no belt installed.
@bongnbud calm the FUCK down, I didn't take too much notice of the car!! I just noticed he wasn't wearing a shoulder seatbelt! So Sorry for not noticing the FUCKING make of the car! not everyone knows everything about hot rods and cars!
@Irsmaier He did on their second night of their S&M live performance back in '99. And I heard that he wears them in the studio while writing tabs and lyrics.
I want to take a ride with James too!! you're THE MAN!! I hope that one day I will have the fortune to meet him.. James, you and metallica are a big part of my life! you're the best musician in the world and more important a great person! Im always proud to be a Metallica fan!
BADDEST ROCKER OF ALL TIME!I WHEN I MET MY COUSIN FOR THE FIRST TIME HE HAD ONLY BEEN IN THE U.S 1 WEEK AND I ASKED HIM IF HE LIKED ENGLISH MUSIC HE SAIDS "NO'I DONT UNDERSTAND IT."BUT I DO LISTEN TO METALLICA.I ASKED HIM DO YOU UNDERSTAND IT ?HE SAID"I DONT HAVE TOO.
James really proves 1 thing- you can let people laugh and joke at your dreams, but you'll be laughing in the end. i mean, i doubt many people will be as successful as metallica, but weather its being successful in business, modeling, or music, you are the pilot of your own destiny, noone else....wow im deeep (:
@kvenz6661 Bob agrees with you on the part on pilot and destiny. Its like making youre own predictions or plans. But Unfortunately Dave Disagreesè cause only The Lord God Of Israel decides on what goes and what doesnt. Freewill. Takes us a long way. But The Lord ALMIGHTY Resides on top. And I like that.
They made fun of him joking about him wanting to be onstage and be a rock star, I wonder how they felt when he was selling out 50,000 people stadiums or playing at Monsters of Rock in front of almost 1,000,000 people and making millions doing it.
genuinely cool guy. sounds like he had it rough as a kid, and that led him to some troubles later in life. but i guess he wouldn't be who he is today without it?
@DANTE4891 man, who cares? i mean, they can be whatever they wanna be as well as you can. They are as free to do wahtever they want as you are to do so.
whats the exact year on that sweet ride 62' or 63'?
