James Hetfield - Metallica interview 1990 Part 2

[dharlowster]

This is James guys good lord. I'm 24 yr fan and I know his voice and laugh.

[EM171072]

this is not james. his voice is much deeper than in this video^^

[vidzrus]

@EM171072 How do you know?

I guess I'm busted...You know James voice has never changed since he was two months old..EM171072 was there. Can I be as cool as you?

My hired actors did a good job though. Can I be your friend? That would be real swell.

[heavytom89]

@EM171072 watch any drunken clips of james hetfield and you will hear that this is him 

[greglegratteur]

True fans will recognize his laugh :)

[keepthrashalive]

[aussieosbourne]

[kjo78]

@aussieosbourne go and look at the load album and tell me there not wearing eyeliner!!

[cheapcape]

@aussieosbourne Kirk wore nail polish, dumb fuck.

[gendrpepper]

7:12 excuse me epic burp!

[Megadroog26]

His laugh is awesome. And he laughs a lot at himself.

[mr931126]

@KillRideMasterAnd You are very stupid

[aNdUbomfan]

am i the only person who thinks he's adorable..????

[oyhe94]

james doesn't remember the 1 time they played hit the lights in 89

[1xcrosswordx1]

well who cares. this ain't mustaine's interview. go find one if you are obsessed with megadeth and not metallica.

[FockingLars]

You are now aware that this was 20 years ago

[RushinRulet57]

personally i like megadeth, so im kinda glad dave made joined another band, but that would be something to see how they would have turned out if he stayed

[skaterobban]

James actually told the truth. its all Daves stuff

[mr4METALLICA]

@skaterobban yeah sure u fucking retard

[skaterobban]

@mr4METALLICA Truth hurts doesnt it. and i hate wannabe metalheads like you who think metallica is the only band in the world. i see you lot at concerts and youre sad as fuck. stupid nigger.

[mr4METALLICA]

@skaterobban hahahhaha thank you you made my day ur hilarious hahahhaha

[Jonscomin2]

[Jonscomin2]

@skaterobban Yeah u mad.

[skaterobban]

@Jonscomin2 original nerd boy is original isnt he.

[Jonscomin2]

@skaterobban Calm down, Jenkins.

[geckoslick]

"It's all Dave's stuff" LOL

[BloodyBlackRose1]

Oh wow... James sounds soooo young...

[skate4life2022]

MUSTAINE

[manindaironmask]

who writes all the stuff? MUSTAINE :D

[marcusamarrious]

no man they were just about throught with their first album and then they were on their way to new york, and on the way dave was trashing everyone of their friends houses on the way so one morning dave woke up with the bad over him with tickets and they were all staring at him and said the bus leaves in about 20 mins get your stuff.

[MrRedman]

The Thing That Should Not Be definately seems to be one James' favourites,

He said in an interview he loves it 'coz "it's fuckin' crunchin' man!" - And no kidding either, it's so heavy to play.

[XDoomriderX]

I miss this James, it's like he has become a completely different person :(

[durcanskymartin]

@XDoomriderX I don't miss this fucking crazy irresponsible drunk metal head. I love today's Hetfield. Great person, father, husband and an amazing musician!

[XDoomriderX]

@durcanskymartin I wouldn't mind as much if he could only make some good music

nowadays

[durcanskymartin]

@XDoomriderX this is a matter of opinion

[XDoomriderX]

@durcanskymartin of course HAHAHAH!!! And my opinion is that the music of metallica today sucks balls. St anger and death magnetic are some of the lowest albums I have heard. and justice for all is one of the best so, go figure.

A band does not have to be awesome live or have ppl with vibrant personalities as long as the music is passionate and great!!! that means strong melodies, solid parts and memorable themes.

[durcanskymartin]

@XDoomriderX Yes, and I like SA and DM too. Load and Reload as well. Who would listen to them after another 5 albums in style of AJFA (which was sure a great album)? Nobody. Watch some kind of monster documentary, you'll understand SA better. And if u think that the band doesn't have to be awesome live, than go and listen to some LP shit. They completely suck live.

[XDoomriderX]

@durcanskymartin It's a BONUS if the whole band kicks ass live, but I am all about the ART, I am a composer myself as well as a writer.

I loved metallica up until SA. And I have watched some kind of monster 3 or 4 times.

Music comes first when it comes to bands, I only support bands that continuously keep me interested in their new music as well as the old. Bands like Symphony X, Pain of Salvation, Kamelot, Clawfinger.

Load and Reload kicks ass IMO and Load is one of my fav Metallica albums.

[campoobutt]

You mean No Remorse??

[WizzardOfGlue]

no no, not the song playing, is like when the video starts you hear a noise, you haveto have head phones to really hear it

[kcmet79]

i miss james' late 80s/early 90s vocals

[fritosofdoritos]

@kcmet79 ME 2

[ofizs]

i like that he likes Faith No More

[Theros91]

He new rap was gonna be big... damn hetfield is smart... Hate rap myself...

[jees91]

@Theros91 it was 1990. gangsta rap wouldve been huuuuuge

[KINGOFKINGS611]

Who writes stuff? Its all just Mustaine...

ROFL

[trexilll]

@KINGOFKINGS611

LOL I LAUGHED SO HARD

[1xcrosswordx1]

you know, when this guy wasnt drunk, and i struggle to find interviews before like 2000 when he wasnt, his intelligence and perception was easily on par with Kurt Cobain's; he's just a cool dude.

and when he WAS drunk, he was a funny motherfucker.

[fettergraf]

3:02 *buuurrp*

[kriffing]

Hell yeah he is a fucking metal god i wuold sell half my stuff to meet him

[MacNickelSack]

Metallica old and new, either way it's always progressive and dynamic. Good Buuuuuuurrrrrrp at 7:20 somethin, Jaymz!! Rock on or fuck off!!!!!

[HighZombiesRule]

I like these types of interviews, it seems much more homely and friendly, and less bullshit.

[Constantdoodle]

im so glad James got help.... Its good to see them come back strong.. Death magnetic rules....

[fritosofdoritos]

@Constantdoodle YES

[lilbullet111]

@Constantdoodle haha dude I fuckin love your youtube name

[HBK1337]

@Constantdoodle lol death magnetic sucks

[andreieforie]

@HBK1337 I've got to agree that death magnetic isn't their best work but you can't say it suck's ... I mean there still is unforgiven III and The day that never comes.

Any way let's hope their next album will be better (I've heard that is gonna come out this year)

[TheHrva]

@andreieforie cmon man,death magnetic rules!!!!

[jking4020]

@andreieforie Not their best work??? You are an idiot sir! You know how hard it is to constantly come up with new stuff? The good thing is they are not writing songs for pricks like you.

[andreieforie]

@jking4020 I'm sorry if I offended you . I was just saying that they have better albums than Death Magnetic. I didn't say Death Magnetic sucks or anything. It dosen't suck , it is very good but not their best that's all .

[rawkgawdez]

@HBK1337 -- say it to james hetfields face! i dare ya! you cunt.

[hencan99]

it's all Mustains..lmao

[faangelf]

Rochester, NY!!!!! great!!!!!

Now I'm living here...and I would be great to have a Metallica's concert here!!!!!!

[parkerman6]

...and then it was good? Or did he see that it was bad and without void?

[Scary2Stroke]

god i wish i could see a video of this

[Ncbondgirl700]

me to

[parkerman6]

at 2:02 james predicts Nu-Metal!!!

[jazzmanEE]

Cleveland Ohio..home of the Rock and roll hall of fame museum, to which Metallica would be inducted 19 years after this interview..i bet they never saw that coming..the 83-93 period of Metallica was the best and most productive one in their career up til now,. but then again almost every band's greatest work comes in the first 10 years of their existence.

[badalac]

buuurp 3:03 :D

[xxbullfrog66xx]

LMAO!!!!!

[vhfanjack]

"its all mustaine still" lmao

[Thiefo1]

James sounds drunk out of his mind lol

[Riberaberubu]

he prolly is duude :P

[Skywalkerfamily]

Hell yeah, some epic burps in it xD

[carter20081985]

hahaha dave mustaine is a loser

[les0pauls0rock]

naw you he was a dick

you feel bad for him when you see enough interviews

and hes pretty jokes

[DarkeningInVain]

haha man i love james, he's awesome!

[cheapcape]

@DarkeningInVain Naw he is a fag like u.

[rockon828]

My metallica senses told me he was going to say the thing that should not BE!

[madcow2424]

fuck both you motherfuckers

[death80]

Heinaken ?

[sinfonian39]

It is well-documented that James's favorite beer was Coors Light.

[ZLB512]

well that is a coors light in his hand there in the picture

[iLikechevelle]

Pacifico

[seanaudi13]

LOL... "Satan, yeah, he's a popular guy."

[6999999METAL6666669]

the best of james

[Kidzelda0]

I would say for it to be a sell-out situation, they would have to do things that they didn't want or didn't go along with. I would say, personally, that's all the constitutes a sell-out. If you want to do it, it's not selling out.

[trulysarcastic]

I agree you should follow your heart, I think they admitted to be getting bored with speed metal by the time of AJFA. I don't like how they act like nothing's changed

[DimebagVision]

Nothing has changed. Metallica is doing what they want, when they want, and how they want to do it. They NEVER sold out. Unless you count all the arenas they sell out every night. Even right now they're playing what they wanna play. They don't care. They didn't care back in the 80's. Just because they possess great talent and made videos doesn't mean they sold out. The videos go great with the songs. Oh, Ozzy and Megadeth write slow and short songs too.

[Everly1388]

oh enough with this "sell out" bullshit..it only becomes a sellout when you stop loving the music you play and only play music to appease people and be famous...if you write music YOU love and happen to make money off of it you are never a sell out..obviously they liked writing those slower songs..they did it for 3 albums when they knew damn well their best selling albums were thrash...its not selling out when you become sucessfull doing what you love

[tommygunatxta]

very well put. musicians make a living by selling out. if you dont like something they did then dont listen/buy their stuff. i love their older stuff and ill go see them live but im not gonna buy the fucking video game! thats just me. and im sure Metallica is just fine with that

[james30721]

I agree with Metallica being sellouts, because they sell out at all of the venues they perform in each night.

If you think Metallica are sellouts for taking a different music direction, you know nothing about music. Music changes in every album. From sound to style.

[MissionMetallica]

Fuck yes!

[slaytallidetherafold]

@james30721 Thats exactly what i i say. I say that because its true and jason newstead said on behind the music. it is absolutely true.

[bodom0593]

obviously not 1990 haha but i dont think its fake

[1134cc]

wow daves stuff haha

[Erador]

you're crazy

[Kaaybeee]

Oh COMON man

hetfields singing was so much higher in the first 3 albums, then his voice changed for justice and black album.

Then it got fucked after the black album

[augustk92]

true

[Docteur666]

This IS James. Definitely!

[drivepro]

satans popular." He sure is

[subtlepuddle]

the voice is higher because of the age of the tape...old tapes stretch out and it raises the pitch slightly.

[priestfan88]

LOL you're right, this tape is so fucked up James sounds like he did back in 1983.

[vidzrus]

Tape is fine.

Sounds exactly the same as it did the day it was recorded.

[Kaaybeee]

I LOVE hetfield interviews. I watch them all the time. And i ASSURE YOU, his voice is different here. MUCH differnent.

[Erador]

and he blew his voice out recording So What around the time of the black album. I'm sure that had an effect seeing as it was after this interview.

[BOBPOPROCK]

JBJ Is G.O.D

[slaytallidetherafold]

@BOBPOPROCK who is JBJ? dont get mad at me for askin.

[Guitarism12]

lol that was funny. Its all mustaine really we cant make our own thing.

[purelh]

this was back in the day when james would stay drunk haha

[campoobutt]

7:45 "Eye of the Butt-Holer"

[motleycrue24]

its was probely a good thing they kicked mustaine out because dave has a totally different style and its probely better for him to express his own music with megadeth

[megahirosheb]

Yeah, why complain about having two fuckawesome bands?

[UnarmedSnowman]

lol there you go

[slaytallidetherafold]

@motleycrue24 just imagine if dave was still with them. they would kick ass. they might be a little different though. maybe they r better off without dave after all.

[vzlarocker]

james CO WROTE whit dave some tracks, but metallica has like 35 GREAT SONGS, dave only work on maybe 4 , and WAS KIRK who record KILLEM ALL, all solos are KIRKS COMPOSITION , so stop to give him credit to the success of metallica to dave :S that is absurd, dave is a great musician MEGADETH is FUKING GREAT, but lets clear things

[UnarmedSnowman]

there you go. i think the only thing dave has done for metallica was ride the lightning solo, the four horsemen, and the first 4 measure of some of the solos on kill em all

[BallonkaSwe]

@UnarmedSnowman He co-write 4 songs on KEA, and did three riffs in RTL. Spider chord riff in Ride The Lightning, and two riffs in Chtulhu. Thats it. No solos. RTL solo is Kirks and its a fucking masterpiece

[UnarmedSnowman]

@BallonkaSwe actually the solo on rtl is hetfields as hes the one who wrote it.

[trocker4evr]

I bet you some metallica fans can pick up this trailer and give it a toss! Ha ha!

[grungesponge489]

Blackened!!! lol

[NaturesGlory]

Lol. He was so messed up in those days. What was he smoking in that trailer?

[mcgarnacle21]

Haha, that's a cracker of a photo!

[Rabidpanda112]

"What hour 2 hours 3 hours some shit like that *BURP*"

[vaiman777]

Helloooooooo Cleavland!!! LOL.

[demyx0067]

I love Metallica. They're so cool. But about this Mustaine stuff. I don't think Metallica would be as good as they are if Mustaine was with them now. All the things that happened to Metallica has made them what they are now. AWESOME!!!

[64metalmiget64]

yeah, mustaine didn't have the kirk hammett eastern style solos that perfected R.T.L, and A.J.F.A !

[slaytallidetherafold]

@demyx0067 they would be good with mustain but they would also be different. we always wonder what they would have been like with dave. maybe exodus would be more popular with kirk. we will never know.

[dustybridges]

Ha ironicly the vinyl there talking about was the black album their most famous one lol

[NIKLASR]

Hetfield...well what can i say.Funny guy if u think he stole Mustaines songs, way to play and riffs.Good luck in ur new "album", i will not be surprised if metallica sounds like Briney Spears on a rehab session....

[flamey34]

lol get a life Niklasr, instead of posting the same shit under every Hetfield video, which proves you're an emo crying in his bedroom cos Hetfield got famous with his band and Mustaine just watched their success instead. As a frontman Hetfield is like 100 times better on stage, if not as a guitarplayer.

[LadyZeppelin1960]

I totally agree. Not only to say that, but Hetfield didn't steal Mustaine's solos! What the Hell. He was originally their first bassist and made a major contribution to Metallica. Of course Metallica is always going to have that Mustaine sound. They must retain the feel that he brought to the band. It was the original Metallica! Metallica will always have that grinding, abrasive, guitaring technique.

[slaytallidetherafold]

@LadyZeppelin1960 dont you mean he was their first guitarist?

[LadyZeppelin1960]

@LadyZeppelin1960 I meant guitarist. Wow, this was from two years ago. Ha ha ha.

[Fenton112]

They didnt steal his riffs, they both basically used "The Four Horseman" but megadeth named it "The Mechanix" Basically only kill em all had any mustaine stuff on it. He was just pissed cause they kicked him out and they went on to be hugely successful. He cried in some kind of monster, the documentary

[guitarmainiac06]

wow i cant believe they're fucking taking mustaines stuff

[slaytallidetherafold]

@guitarmainiac06 Mustaines stuff is metallica stuff also. most of daves stuff was written by dave and metallica members.

[PearlJammer07]

This is a pretty funny interview. All the interviews I see now are pretty serious, but hey there is after all a time and place for everything.

[Tartarsauce24]

Comment 100.

[etherealessence]

and you had nothing better to say?

[Tartarsauce24]

Umm, Metallica Forever!!!

[slayerman89]

Good save!

[slayerman89]

Good save!

[nathanuc1988]

It is pathetic how when things like this are posted, the Dave vs Metallica shows.... it was 20 years ago.. get over it. They did steal some of Daves riffs, and thats a fact. It was 20 years ago.. quit starting crap. No one even cares now

[Tumdace]

lol i love how they rip on dave... cause dave is always saying that they use his shit... which isnt true.. dave is just pissed cause he got kicked out..
