Guitar Hero Metallica: Hetfield Interview

[GemaGalor]

he looks younger than how he looks back in the 90's....heheh

[GHTuckerV]

i'd like to know the big deal about playing guitar hero i play guitar and guitar hero, it's just a video game a mean seriously most of the people that say "you have no life play a real guitar" are jealous cause they can't play like that i mean it's just a VIDEO GAME its a virtual reality who cares they are both challenging to get a hold of, cause going from pressing buttons and moving your hand left to right (or right to left) and switching from moving your hand up and down strings or vice versa

[graham564]

time to turn the turntable on hahaha

[MetallicOpeth]

I drum in real life, so I don't mind rocking out with a plastic guitar with 5 buttons. Besides playing some of the metallica solos on expert are fun as all hell.

[yaxxbass]

I think the real problem is that some people misunderstood whole idea and started bashing it because they thought it was a "simulator"

[thatartchannel]

guitar hero is just an awesome way to get to know different bands!

[mokbass]

Im a bassist,i tried to play guitar hero and i was crap at it :D

[gothlord77]

@mokbass guitar hero is FKIN hard!!!

[mokbass]

@gothlord77

It sure is,think i'll stick to the old four string :D

[npla8435]

Metallica wears pants... AND THEY DON'T SAG THEM!

[MyNevermindme]

i started playing guitar hero when GH:M came out. i bought it, i played it like 24/7 :P i loved metallica at the time so i wanted to play real guitar, now im playing james his parts on Master of puppets :D

[reyshakquit]

guitar hero metallica inspired me to buy a real guitar when I was able to do their songs in expert BEST GAME EVER

[julzdrums]

@VGA322 the point im makin is that guitar shouldnt take all the glory away from bass.

[julzdrums]

play sum weather report

[daafiedos]

my dad couht guitar hero for me and that was the reason i picked up real guitar

[julzdrums]

bass is my favorite instrument. why cant there be a BASS HERO!

[Chayse88Black]

@julzdrums Right on man! me too, but like what could we play? my friend of misery or orion? lol

[VGA322]

@julzdrums Just play guitar hero on Bass instead of Guitar XD

[LiLHeLLioNFeVeR]

I play the real drums, but not the real guitar. So naturally guitar hero is a nice supplement after my feet are screaming at me to stop with the double bass. Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett, and Trujillo are amazing at what they do.

[thatonekid30]

people got it all wrong, guitar hero isnt replacing real guitar, its inspiring kids to play real guitar. i know thats how i got started and now iv been playing for a year and a half and i want to keep learning for the rest of my life. SO HA :)

[MrCherryKush]

Its funny that I can play the songs on real guitar, But I cant play them worth shit on guitar hero

[sihplak]

@MrCherryKush That's true for people vice versa(sp?).

[lolocontrol]

1:59 Evil smile ^_^

[whaip]

I hate all those "go buy a real guitar"-posers.

I play guitar myself, don't own guitar hero or something...

but it's a game...

You wouldn't go to someone who plays a formula 1 simulation and say:

"go buy a real car and do races like a real man, fucker?"

that discussion is soooo stupid.

[Algastar]

i started playing guitar hero and that inspired me to play real guitar and since then i've gotten pretty good, i've been playing for a year and i'm in a band at my college. i hope it inspires other kids to do the same

[hetfieldaki]

@gunmay7 I totally agree with you...!!!

[Archkyrie11]

How about a machine that shoots water at you, theres you "sweat"

[e6t47]

GUITAR HERO IS LIKE MASTURBATION ITS CLOSE BUT ITS NOT THE REAL THING

[IR305]

@e6t47

Lol.

[YouGotJEWD]

Hetfield is such a jobber

[STFUnazi]

@YouGotJEWD like your mom

[starfun17]

his hair looks really cool in here! :D

[0O0Axium0O0]

guitar hero IS good, but i like real guitar better, because i can play almost all the songs in GH metallica on real guitar, and i can only do meduim on GH conrtoller,

[pastulio007]

Guitar hero is a really good game to get people into different types of music like DDR.

[metalmilitiacdr]

alright, there's the next step. 3D spit and aweat.

[metalmilitiacdr]

@metalmilitiacdr oops, sweat

[grandicola]

i dont understand why iron maiden wasnt on this game.. they've covered prowler and remeber tomorrow... :(

[LizardManJ]

@grandicola

Well idk about prowler, but remember tomorrow was on the Maiden Heaven album. Its an album where Maiden got their favourite bands to play their songs to make a tribute album. Maiden asked Metallica, not the other way around.

[grandicola]

@LizardManJ just search in youtube for metallica and prowler and it'll pop up :)

[nikoasdaf]

guitar hero is the game that put me in Metal music

[Conker864]

I feel like guitar hero betrayed metal.

[TheTheAndreiasantos]

I love the way James talk. And I love his voice! I love Mr.Hetfield :)

[izzberg07]

I play real guitar, jammed with zakk wylde. I suck at guitar hero cuz I try to make chords n shit on buttons, doesn't work, but a good game though

[TarbleSauce]

As much as I like Metallica, the game they made will just make people play more guitar hero related things and not take up the guitar.

[riseagainstisawsome]

@TarbleSauce not really i 1st started getting serious about guitar once i played guitar hero metallica i learned fade to black as one of my 1st songs (minus the solo)

[Akumashadow]

If I wasn't played this game I wouldn't never listened this AWESOME BAND!!!!....really I'm a hip-hop/rap fan but after playing this game I really liked Metallica.....

[Orangechipsfizz]

If it wasnt for guitar hero 3 i would have never started listening to Metallica.

[guitarher0junky]

@Orangechipsfizz lol i've been listen to metallica before GH even existed

[Orangechipsfizz]

@guitarher0junky Nice one!

[Albee213]

I seen a comercial with seek and destroy in it! what has happened too thrash music when its used for comercial to sell products! LAME, I am not one to normaly care but thrash music if used for comercial uses should be for war games, violent movies, not to sell a Honda Civic or Chevy cobolt!

[HARDROCKRAMMSTEINFAN]

GUITAR HERO SUCKS! REAL GUITAR ROCKS!

[metalrocker1ful]

@HARDROCKRAMMSTEINFAN EXACLy!!!!

[STFUnazi]

@metalrocker1ful NIGGER TROLL!

[STFUnazi]

@HARDROCKRAMMSTEINFAN GET A LIFE TROLL!

[1983Riky]

Yeha!

[kiko741ifyable]

i love this game Metallica 4 life i got i t

[tybo09]

Mississippi Queen is the greatest cowbell song ever... "Don't Fear the Reaper" is a close second.

[01Jakethemuss]

ritter89, same 3 chords? yea i dont think so, i am wondering if you have actually heard a metallica song, go fuck your dave mustaine poster

[blackshadow811]

people who got a problem with guitar hero are morons. im ranked 37 all time on this game but i still play real guitar. its just for fun so if u cant take that just shut the fuck up and get the hell over it

[DansukeTheHedgehog]

1:10 "well this is what real music is!!!" XD

Hetfield rocks.

[Gunmay7]

I dont know why ppl hate on the guitar hero games. I play real guitar and still think guitar hero is a really fun game, especially with like friends or family or something like that. Ppl say: "Oh you play guitar hero, you should get a life and start play real guitar". Its a fucking GAME. Its like saying to someone that play Burnout to go chrash his own car insteed becouse its "cooler". So to all haters: Dont like the game, dont cry about it becouse no one gives a shit!

[ThePanda6669]

@Gunmay7 I agree completely. I also play real guitar and love guitar hero. I'm sure there's plenty of others that do too.

[guitarher0junky]

@ThePanda6669 like my brother =)

[JohnBoy122486]

@Gunmay7

I agree that GH is great fun. But, I also believe that people should try the real thing.

[guitarher0junky]

@JohnBoy122486 i tried it (more than once) i'm just not coordinated to play the real thing, no matter how good i am at guitar hero (cyanide fc)

[JohnBoy122486]

@guitarher0junky I've been playing for more than 13 years. A couple years ago when I first picked up GH, I couldn't even play on easy. lol Now I play on expert (somewhat). Anybody can learn to play an instrument. Lord knows I wasn't gifted with any kind of musical talent.

[ConveyedMetal]

@Gunmay7 hmmm never looked at it that way, good point, but its only no life u when u do it %100 by memory n all dat, lefty flip n wat knot

[10menonachest]

@Gunmay7 it's not an art. you can't compose shit on guitar hero. that's the main point of playing a guitar; it's not to ONLY replicate. there's creativity in a real instrument. otherwise it'd be boring and most of the songs yu'd cherish on the game wouldn't exist.

[BonSprite]

I agree, infact, guitar hero 3 was what really brought me over to rock and roll music

[TheHotguysexy]

@Gunmay7 You are right, but what some people really complain about is about the people that think they are so cool and so musician because of guitar heroe.

[PapaRoachGeezer]

@Gunmay7 well i play guitar but i think guitar hero is a fun game, i dont play it but i have and i think it is fun

[RemcoGamer95]

@Gunmay7 They Just Can't Buy It Haha xD

[RemcoGamer95]

@Gunmay7 They Just Can't Buy It Haha xD And The 2 Dislikes Are Dave Mustaine Fans !!

[lLucasNovaes]

@Gunmay7 Hell yea !

[DeatgMagnet]

@Gunmay7 And noone gives a shit about guitar hero players cause you have to be really dumb to play it. :P

[ritter89]

Mo money, mo money , mo money. These geeks have been playing the same exact three chords for over three decades, so what's with all the talk about growth and development? Metallica is primary loved by middle class white guys

[STFUnazi]

@ritter89 Get a life troll nigger.

[tomdabom713]

@ritter89 oh yea, tell me how they played master of puppets with three chords, ride the lightning, THE WHOLE ALBUM, the newest album, Death Magnetic, yea im pretty sure you are feeling pretty retarded now, and yea, almost every song they have written has involved more than three cords douchebag. that is just to name a few above this statement

[Lurtzman1]

@ritter89 I'm a guitar player & I know that they play a LOT more than three chords in their songs, douchebag. Don't talk about stuff if you don't know enough about it to make an argument.

[Gohanbryson]

i play the real guitar and i suck at guitar hero lol

[blackshadow811]

@Gohanbryson haha im good at guitar hero and i suck with real guitar but im tryin

[doomdude873]

@blackshadow811 ha ha

vice versa for me

[Marcobalt]

Best music game ever

[lambofgod914]

i kind of agree. i just think its stupid when kids can only play guitar hero and they say they can play real guitar

[tomdabom713]

fuck guitar hero, real guitar is the fuckin way to go

[AwesomeGuy324]

so i play both, so am i automatically a bad person?

[gabocrbll]

@tomdabom713 its a video game...ppl can be so retarded

[STFUnazi]

@tomdabom713 Fuck off nazi troll.

[tomdabom713]

@STFUnazi you just called me a nazi troll, what video game is that from geek? think about what you say before it gets handed right back to you

[STFUnazi]

@tomdabom713 Whatever you say nazi.

[STFUnazi]

@tomdabom713 Fail troll is fail.

[Ruzik123]

I as well started with GH. I liked rock and stuff but when i played Gh and heard the songs i havent heard i was like "wtf?" why havent i heard that song before. Now im starting to play acoustic and electric guitar cuz i was saying to myself why press buttons while i can do the real song or make one myself if i can

[zDizz3xXxScop3z]

exact sme wid me without the acustic haha

[AwesomeGuy324]

@SaBlackLabel24 i get what your saying, right now im learnin Jump IN The Fire. but without GH, i wouldnt know of these ppl, and what they do and there music

[AwesomeGuy324]

@SaBlackLabel24 well with the radio stations you dont hear much of rock and metal and stuff. me and citrus are the same. started with GH, play real guitar awesomely.

[sluggo06]

Good interview, they put on the best shows. I couldve swor James stood next to me in the GA section of the arena when the band b4 metallica played. Then that guy left right b4 metallica came on stage, freaky

Wayofthemaster is a good site to visit btw

[Takenashi]

i wish people would pick up a real guitar instead of playing guitar hero!!!!!!!

[AwesomeGuy324]

@Takenashi Guitar Hero inspires them to play guitar. if you wanna play guitar without being introduce to gh, what songs will they wanna play, huh? answer me

[Perezco]

That was a retarded reply...seriously.

[CitrusToad]

@Takenashi

Dude, I started with Guitar Hero, and it really introduced me to the full rock genre. This inspired me, and now I play real guitar quite well. GH is one of the best revolutionary games for music ever.

[RetroRifleGuitarist2]

@Takenashi i played guitar before i played GH but i didnt play drums ... but when rock band came out i played the RB drums alot and when i got to play on i expert i could play drums @ my friends hopuse no prob ... then i got an actual drum set and GH is incorperating drums 2 so its not that bad

[SpokenwerD405]

I play guitar and guitar hero Im I a bad person?

[Hanem007]

Yes you are :) Me too :) But I'm a bass player.

[Aerotides]

@SpokenwerD405 Nah man, guitar hero will strengthen your fingers

[sb3k97]

@SpokenwerD405 im the same i like to play gh metallica but i like to jam with my Les Paul also =)

[darkvein66]

definitely beats the crap out of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. haha. did anyone actually buy that game? lol

METALLICA RULES

[halonerd04]

actually the aerosmith game made more money then most of the their albums

[score2000claxon1]

@halonerd04

lol

[LogicalLube]

@darkvein66

I did.

[AwesomeGuy324]

@darkvein66 my cousins got that game with GH 3....its not that good. i like the game, but compared to Metallica, its bullshit

[Th3RantDoctor]

@AwesomeGuy324 agreed

[ToLiveIsToDie305]

I love gh metallica nd its true i get into a whole different dimension lol. anyone have the game dont be shy nd add me on my ps3 nd we can jam XXBROOKLYN305XX

[AlexAivd]

Danny already FC'ed Hetfield Interview

[IamChris4LifeAlso]

well true, it has jack black tho lol

[CreepingMetalDeath]

should make a fighting game instead, with metal bands

[IamChris4LifeAlso]

brutal legend?

[CreepingMetalDeath]

doesnt have metallica??

[CBRHurricane6]

this is easily the best guitar hero game.....

tho its out next guitar hero band game:

GH Van Halen

[Stewerrvideos]

Got the game, but no one is online...Fucking awsome game, so why arent anyone online?!

[jr240891]

it deppends what console u got

[Nameless666Maggot]

@Stewerrvideos im on very now & then with GH Metallica

[guitarher0junky]

@Stewerrvideos lol same with me, in fact i'm searching for ppl to play right now, i'm just reading these comments to pass the time. oh and btw, if u have it for wii, we could trade friend codes if u like =) (but i must warn u, i am very good)

[Stewerrvideos]

@guitarher0junky first of all, i dont play 2 be pro, i just play for fun, im the avarage player, you know, and i got it for the xbox:b

[joshmattg]

good talk Emceetem :)

[estivenrex18]

HE IS A HERO.....

[courpsedigger666]

james is so right! once your jammin with your band, in are case a big room, nothing else matters.

[h3nRiQu3J]

Best GH game

[cheatguru2173]

now that i pay attention, james has a really deep voice

[CleverDjembe]

yup, you can hear it in his singing and it suits their music very well!

[RoBeRtSaRtInI]

gh world tour inspired me to play guitar and now im really good

[Emceetem]

i use to like hip-hop, but most of it, i can't relate to anymore, most of the stuff metallica talks about in most songs, politics,love,hate,suicide,peo­ple.

I can relate to, and sometimes most mainstream genres don't deliver that properly. As for me, i love all music, i'm not biased, if you tell me to check stuff out i will, judge it, and end up liking it or not.

I bought a guitar out of love for the history and meaning of it. not because of the game, even though it's fun.

[45wii]

@Emceetem you just explained how i feel you have my respect man

[krivatakirka]

James is a dude! :)

[dont6sue4me0]

@wiggs333, sadly, me

[zemlay]

i was influenced by Guns N' Roses when i was 13 to play guitar, 16 now and it's all about Metallica. But then.. all my mates were rockin out too so that was influential lol.

[Nintenutts]

Same*

...friggin' iPod

[Nintenutts]

And pike Jacob. It was Metallica, not Guitar Hero.

[Nintenutts]

I'm playing the guitar. I first played guitar hero about 2 years ago when I got number three for Christmas, and now I can play all of Enter Sandman on the acoustic some of Sad but true and the intro of One. Planing on getting an electric with amp and stuff for this years christmas.

[wiggs333]

Who has actually started to play guitar/frums/bass after playing GH?

[jacobs87]

i have started to play bass. but GH did not influence it.

[wiggs333]

@jacobs87, Influential

[jacobs87]

the only thing i can give credit to guitar hero is that it gives kids the good side of music. fucking acdc new album sold over 82,000 in the first week just through online and walmart. for those sales i can give credit to guitar hero.

now the bad side of it is that kids dont want to pick up a REAL guitar or anything else. thats what sucks.

[BMaick]

youre wrong, many guys that have played GH have decided to pick a real instrument, they got inspired. Is a crime to use plastic instruments? Why is not a crime to simulate to drive a car with a steering wheel with buttons and fake pedals.

[jacobs87]

well i know some kids are like that. but most are not. i know some people that say i can never play an instrument so i have to play GH. for me i use to play GH. now i am in a band and i rather play the real thing. but like i said there is pros and cons of this GH thing.

[maganashi]

When I was 13, I was learning to play a REAL guitar.

[flanymayyo]

i fucking love to play whiplash and dyers eve in GHM is just! so much fun! xD

i wanted blackened, and justice, ooor ride o trapped under ice ... ow... WHAT THE HELL!! I WANTED ALL THE FUCKING METALLICA SONG IN THIS GAME!! ALL!!! XD

[Jpprflrp]

Trapped under ice already on World  Tour, douche..

[flanymayyo]

SO WHAT!? SO FUCKING WHAT!? XDDD

[Bolzmann13]

justice blackened and ride are dlc for rb and trapped under ice is on wt if u would like to play those

[83delarosa]

Right...is that b/c they along with Led Zepplin are the only two rock bands with 5 number one albums? Or is that b/c they've had 5+ albums sell after the Black album...point being, people are still buying their awesome music! You're a kid, what do you know.

[tcw25]

guys im 13 & im on hard with the guiter

[everyonepoops23]

When i was 13 I could do it on expert

I had no friends =P

[Jpprflrp]

Wtf..

I'm 15, i could do expert when i was 13 too..

But i had friends.

You're just pathetic.

[xOBenzo92Ox]

I was too.

[wassuppeeps]

wow you must be some kind of prodigy or something 0_0

wait let me see....

nope. i was playing expert at 13.

wtf?

[legos12321]

Me too!

[guitarher0junky]

@wassuppeeps really....how good r u? we can trade friend codes if u have it for the wii and we can see who's better, in a friendly competition

[DevastatedX]

I thought james hetfeild said OOOOoooooooooooo YEAH YEAH after every sentence but guess i was wrong

[MrAlan1975]

IT IS True, james looks younger with each passing year. it is so weird, but he is less intimidating to watch now. ht is not a rock god, but a father trying to find time to jam

[braderz4lyf]

Ahaha there's a truth to your statement :P

[wassuppeeps]

james hetfeild is metallica. They should call the band Hetallica.

[Calebyourdaddy727]

This game got me into real guitar, I love metallica XD

[BallonkaSwe]

Same here

[haolepinokidz]

Whatever 1/2 of the 80s concerts Lars wore short shorts HAHAHAHAHA

[BillyxRattlehead]

So? Who cares if their short?

If you drum, you would relize how much it helps.

[RRReviews]

lol i drum i know wut you mean man

[TheMetallicaGods]

yeah kinda

[lfcdanny92]

cant believe they didnt put ride the lightning on this game.

[TheHunter117]

I'ts because they already let rockband use it. they could re-use one because it was used by Guitar Hero before.

[lfcdanny92]

oh i see. well theres still plenty of good songs on the game.

[JakeGertz]

This game is the shit

[counterstrikeCer0]

1. Trapped under ice

2. Ride the lightning

3. Creeping death

4. Master of puppets

5. Unforgiven

[brus852]

i like Cyanide, Enter Sandman, Broken, Beat and Scarred, Shortest Straw yeah nearly all songs:D

[4232267]

8:56

[HuckleberrySlim]

43:15

[4232267]

1:10

[afonsobest]

my favorite songs are:

1- the shortest traw

[AMPUSHAVERR]

Whiplash

All nightmare long???
