Metallica - Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame Press conference (part1)

[ironfistgal]

Where was Jason?

[Rebelsoul73]

i wish they would quit giving Dave Shitstain credit, hes a crying bitch!! 

[jerm26554]

I hate how stars can't just give a straight yes or no answer. Or just say "this is the answer"

[BlackWatchers]

Congratulations MetallicA!!! & Mustaine is a metal god for sure! But back in the day when he was kicked out, It was not just for drinking & he was not some cool maniac & he did not invent what Thrash is to day!! I am not Bashing him, But to say he is & was & will always be what made MetallicA what they are is just absurd. Once again look up your history before u post it just makes u look ignorant & a fool. Fact He was DRUNK most the time & violent & rude to other bands & fans! Haters DIE!!

[MsMetallicaRocks]

Great band. great music. 

[soadratmetc]

The Scarf That Should Not Be

[12LOTR]

love james dont tread on me shirt!!

[TheMinority2009]

god metallica have gotta be sick of Enter Sandman haha

[djgregory123]

LEGENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jakekirbie]

Mustain is awesome on guitar.. but his voice sucks. (my opinion)

[joshp6585]

metallica/megadeth it doesnt matter. there would not be thrash metal around today if it wasnt for mustaines guitar. he must have been a fucking maniac to get kicked out of a metal band for alchohlism. mustaine is a guitar god.

[Rastacrat]

hfug

[pr0digy3]

Whos the dude on the far right???

[shaunfleury]

Robert Trujillo ( i think thats how its spelt lol) he's there bassist

[FightingForFreedom23]

Ryan Seacrest.."Whos that? I dont even know who that is" hahaha these guys are so above hollywood its crazy, they are true musical rock legends, they will go down in history as the true, the true..fathers of heavy metal, god bless them!

[assahkumlamman]

How funny Dave Mustaine never gets mentioned all though he wrote many of their songs. Assholes.

[rooock4ever]

NO more than ten ¬¬ Metallica have like 70 o 80

[BassMan1912]

96 to be exact :p

[DimebagVision]

He HELPED write them, he didn't write them all himself. It was just a small handful of them.

[mantera1989]

dude he didnt even write the Kill Them All Record so no he didnt write alot of there songs

[kendraXomfg]

@mantera1989 True.

[BassMan1912]

HELPED write a few songs from kill em all, which got altered in some way when kirk was brought in to record Kill, and 2 songs from Lightning had some of Daves influence in them, but again they got altered because they were going for a different sound then what dave had written, to say that he wrote many of their songs is a silly statement

[DXvsnWo1]

Glad Jason and Cliff were inducted as well

[liquidfreak]

What about Dave

[assahkumlamman]

Metallica sold out long time ago... Its Poptallica now

[acer993]

go FUCK a squirrel

[Jecht301010]

heeee lars hell yeah deep purple you rock man

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

Nice fuckin' scarf Lars.

[BBOZ83]

wow thats bad looks more like tommy aldridge the drummer from ozzy and whitesnake lol

[fade2black2610]

I love Metallica, and don't think Megadeth are half-bad... but I think Mustaine did turn up at the ceremony? 3:24 ...

[PMantisKF]

LOL @ Dave @ 3:24... Actually, it looks like the love child of Dave M and Bob Dylan...

[Xenomorph52]

More like Dave and Bob Ross.

[RedShogun13]

Wow it took mainstream media long enough to do this.

If this was led by REAL fans of metal Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Death, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Jason Becker, etc. would all already be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame but of course mainstream doesn't work like that.

[zwareshag]

Well, all those bands didnt play slower airplay compatible heavy metal songs,and Metallica did so with One, Black Album and the Load/Reload albums. And DM, sold faster than a Big Mac in 2008.

[RedShogun13]

Which is why it is the "mainstream" rock and roll hall of fame and doesn['t count for much imo.

[zwareshag]

Your making stuff up. Its Rock N Roll hall of fame, not Pop hall of fame. Or is micheal jackson in there aswell?

[RedShogun13]

What did I possibly make up? lol

Are you saying there aren't mainstream rock/metal acts?

[zwareshag]

There sure are ,but not even 9O% makes it to the hall of fame. Anyway i was saying u cant generalise this ceremony with mainstream awards.

[RedShogun13]

No no no. That's not what I was trying to say at all. I was just saying that a lot of bands have to "sell out" or "go mainstream" to achieve recognition from the sensitive mainstream eye because God forbid they give recognition to something 100% raw and unadulterated.

If Metallica stuck to being a hard hitting thrash band like they were up until The Black Album they might not have made it in the R&RHoF.

Just sayin.

[seeDerekNow]

ahahaha James "I don't even know who Ryan Seacrest is" LOL

[reignmetal1990]

Anyone who has ever played a part on any of the albums is apart of this induction?

So what about Dave? Lol.

Metallica definately deserve this. They are legends! I don't really care what any haters, who are usually Megadeth fans, say.

[Failhaid]

well,maybe both bands deserve to be in there...or at least Dave on his own.Metallica is my favourite band,but also Megadeth is a great band with really GREAT musicians on each instrument....

i think it's cool how everything happened.Dave got his own successful and kickass band.Metallica became godly kirk (and also Exodus became famous)

so what about dave? well, rob said he want to let it be a celebration for everybody who played for the band.If it's Jason or also Dave from the early days.

[MegadetH11000]

Dave was asked to go to the rock hall of fame buuuuuuut he couldnt come

[krtbossman]

they asked him to be there. he said no because he was touring with megashit, i mean megadeth

[kirkbatten]

lol lmao....

[KhaosBandTV]

They asked Dave to join them, but he said he was too busy touring with Megadeth

[kirkbatten]

lol. dave didnt really play a big enough role in metallica to be inducted.

[muscletruckdude]

no they wouldnt. they would be amazed that they got inducted into the rock hall of fame and be proud that they are the biggest metal band on earth.

[jackboi88]

check out the man/woman at 3:24 looks like dave mustain mixed with robert plant aged 500, BAHAHA

[bergAgreb]

LOOOOL thats true haha but i think this is a guy ^^

[ermonski]

the guy doing the introduction looks like robert downey jr lolz

[ElCholoLoco13]

metallica fucking owns !!!!!

[nyimht21]

hehe who's ryan seacrest? lol

[soulmony]

hall of fame means they step into a new level. also its nice to see'em talk about their projects and actual ideas. its also educational.

[dimitrisagreborn]

screw all those who claim that metallica dont deserve the rnr hall of fame induction. its not the most important thing in their carreer but its something surely worth mentioning. all hail metallica!!!

[carter20081985]

pour dave mustaine

[dog1clear]

fuck the hall, it means nothing anymore. the hall of fame of rock is in my collection, and there's no rap hip hop disco or pop. and don' t give me your bullshit history lesson and politically correct reasons why you think that crap should in the same category. your as wrong as the day is long. not to mention explain why the moody blue are still not in it? glad thier not now.

[cyclingisus]

Disturbed needs 2 be in there!

[TBeanIV]

theyre not even old the band has to be over 20 years old from thier first oficial release

[deadlysin687]

they started in the 80s thats old

[RageAgainstTheDisco]

Metallica released Kill Em All 1983 so do the math bud.

[TBeanIV]

i wasnt talking about metallica bud

[RageAgainstTheDisco]

yeah i noticed after i posted that you were talking about disturbed srry bout that

[mcmatanmc]

1981, Ride the Lightning was released in 1983

[ermonski]

1984 my friend, 2 years before the masterpiece that is master of puppets

[Roedigatto]

No they should NOT!

They might be famous, but they are NOT as good as Metallica or alla the other bands in R'nRHOF.

[sulaco1979]

James is right. Get Motörhead into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame !!! Lemmy is immortal !!!!!!!!! He is the ultimate Rock and Roll godfather ! Hell fuxkin' yeah !!

[deadlysin687]

HELL YEAH!

i dont know if any of these are in but they deserve it

Iron Maiden

Pink Floyd

Slayer

Judas Priest

Megadeth

[hobbitmiester]

HAHAHAH James doesn't know who Ryan Seacrest is. Thats awesome!

[criskrihz96]

who is he???

[SoenAfEnkaelling]

A rubber duck in an old Walt Disney cartoon, i believe. Of course i could be wrong.

[hobbitmiester]

Haha fuck I love Lars!

"I don't think the Rock and Roll hall of fame existed when we formed the band.."

Way to put that tosser in his place!

[ThrashAddict1540]

HAHAHAHA james doesnt know who ryan seacrest is that was hilarious

METAL UP YOUR ASS!!!!!

[Bookster343]

Jason Newstead definitely deserved to be part of that induction. He was awesome!

[shawasson]

live for metallica die for metallica

[Aliceinchainhead]

Its about time for Alice in Chains to get inducted! man

[tomdearing2006]

I thought u had to be around for 25 years before u get in the hall of fame, alice in chains were formed in 1987 so arent eligible yet.

[Aliceinchainhead]

lol i know but they deserve it...damn in about 10 more years you'll see those Grunge bands getting inducted

[tomdearing2006]

Yeah i agree, i'm going to see Alice in Chains and Metallica at the sonisphere festivals, gonna be amazing!

[TBeanIV]

[liljuve13]

[dbags007]

[jason32rich]

[Solidiquis]

it ruins the metal image xD

[pattonmc]

welcome back Jason

[19BANIK22]

I love jason Newsted.

[skate4life2022]

dave mustaine should also get inducted.

[alonzo2k]

he was ask to,but he could not make it! or maybe he didn't want to go?,but there first bass player,before cliff made it

[skate4life2022]

thats awesome. dude you know where i can watch the hall of fame online?

[alonzo2k]

nah sorry! i just read an article about it,and it mentioned which past players attended!.

[jayhoyt28]

For what? His 2 hours of being in the band? He has no contribution.

[captainCshanks]

who had no contribution?

[jayhoyt28]

Mustaine

[Solidsidious]

He wrote alot of the songs in the first two records. He desvers to be a part of this.

[dle0105]

*co-wrote

[overkill0lethal]

He did write a lot of the stuff on Kill 'em All didn't he?

[captainCshanks]

ya he did on kill em all i dont know about ride the lightning

[deadlysin687]

mustaine wasnt actually ON Kill em all

but he wrote most of that and the Ride the Lightning album

[almondtoe]

no. mustaine was kicked out of metallica right before the recording of kill em all. but, its true taht he helped a little bit with the riffs on ride the lighting

[mcmatanmc]

No he didn't... He wrote a part of The Call Of Ktulu.

[alonzo2k]

well he contributed in forming the sound and style

[ChineseRosa]

Jason is back!!!! at least for a few minutes but he´s back!!!!

[goldlessbassist]

i think Rob deserves to be inducted too...

[randombud45]

he is getting inducted. Jason, Kirk, Rob, Lars, James, and Cliff are getting inducted

[iPwnMETALLICA]

Cliff Burton is proud!

R.I.P.

[phantomlord4]

who's the top right guy?

[JohnnyBlackV]

they said that past members are ganna be there. so jason newsted is ganna play with them. what bout dave mustaine lol they should let em play lead guitar!

NOT! lol

[externalpower]

if they had dave with them maybe they wouldnt have sucked for all those years.

[geniemer]

thats why they didnt sell any records right

[jayradog]

they definetly deserve to be inducted. arguably the greatest metal band ever but they dont deserve it yet. there are other metal bands that deserve it before them

[blayzed87]

i just read that jason newsted will be the only one playing bass on stage with metallica that night..... rob will be there watching as a fan. this is legit and not bs

[TBONE889]

no actually they will play the same time.....:D:D:D it will be amazzzzzzzing

[tuarciano]

They such a pussy that they played "Enter Sandman".

[Ktube512]

does anyone know if there going to broadcast it online??

[skat3r430]

megadeath should induct them, LOL JK

metallica rules

[JulzF1128]

bad sound quality or sync quality w/e it is

but 1 of the best bands ever

[jerm26554]

Personally this makes me laugh, i loved Metallica in the old days, but now they have turned into egotistical cocks. They can't answer any question straight forward, or with one response. When asked something they don't like they get hot headed and smart off whoever is asking. Cliff would NOT be proud, if he even saw the "sell out" direction they took in the 90's he would have quit anyways. Lars says "new direction" ok whatever. I was in a band, signed, and i saw the ego side, hated it badly.

[metalrulesforlife]

you're full of crap man ... Metallica have always been doing things THEIR own way... this sellout shittalk is bullshit !..

[halfordsss]

THE ROCK`N`ROLL HALL OF SHAME....

[m169marroquin]

"I don't even know who Ryan Seacrest is" fuckin hilarious!

[dued27]

at 3:24 theres a old guy that looks like dave mustaine.... (CREEPY)

[Stryder94]

ahahahahahahahhaahhahaha i started laughing the second i realized what old guy you were talking about

he looks like bob dylan and dave mustaine combined

he has a funny ass fucken expression too lmao

[cooler268]

i think thats an old lady rofl but it does look like him if he was like 80 years old

[mcmatanmc]

LOL HAHAHAHA.

[dued27]

They have an imposing presence they are gods...

[laurra95]

I LOVE James' laugh! its just great! : DD

and I like james' hair in this:))

[gabrielsapp12]

if they don't induct jason then that would be fucked up

[Gwitfu90]

they are, but the strangest part is Rob is being inducted with them when he only did one album with them so far, but, hey, he's a good bassist.

[gabrielsapp12]

he's a good bassist for sure but he pretty much got into metallica at the right time

[slemjim]

Up to joining Metallica,Rob was a journeyman of sorts:Suicidal,Black Label, Ozzy,etc. I think he deserves it.

[metallibanger]

run dmc ahahahahaha

[souless27]

its ok about mustiane, cause megadeth its gonna be in the rrhf someday too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EvilGothGuy]

of course they got in where would metal be without metallica? In some basement playing in some shit hole club...and plus we'd all still think redlipstick huge hair and dressing like a drag queen was "metal"

[iroock11]

Metallica is the best!

[comango458]

Metallica sucks

[Slash300594]

Your mom sucks....Dick!

Metallica Rules!!!

[pigd1666]

James with a mohawk?

[sabimet]

I LOVE METALLICA ´TILL DEATH

[RlDEtheLIGHTNING]

3:24 MUSTIANE TO THE RIGHT!!!

[SuperVegeta25Returns]

ROFL

[AvLangenheim]

'bout goddam time! METALLICA FOREVER! I, like many others, grew up with their music... This just had to happen! METALLICA IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!

[metalboyq]

this is the first year they were eligable cause to be inducted ur first album had to come out 25 years ago

[metallibanger]

rundmc ?? wtf?

[wwcduck]

5:23 = lmfao

"How about Ryan Seacrest to induct you?"

"I don't even know who that is"

lmmffao

[metallibanger]

ahaha hetfield = the man

[kyhuntter]

congrats to my favorite band for there nomination in the hof but run dmc i didnt think that rappers could get in the rock n roll hall of fame hell the stooges deserve it more i think any way but lets fucking celebrate for METALLICA

[bleedingme666]

dave mustaine Never recorded on a metallica album.he was in the band for like 4 months are you fuckheads completely fucked.the only reason daves name keeps coming up is because he keeps mentioning it in every interview he does for the last 25 years

[karaitavlhs]

I can't understand,why Iron maiden are not inducted in the rock n roll hall of fame?

[sentenced10]

In the great scheme of things, Iron Maiden have not had the stupendous success that Metallica have had in their career, nor have they influenced quite so many bands.

[rgraz1022]

Actually Metallica was influenced by them

[bongowongowongo]

who were they influeced by?

[zenlikestate]

Diamond Head, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Rush, The Misfits, Budgie, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Fates Warning were a few of their influences to name a few.

[zenlikestate]

Black Sabbath also of course.

[SabuPtolemy]

Fates Warning was not an influence on Metallica. Metallica had 2 albums out before Fates debuted with 'Night on Brocken'. Other bands that are an acknowledged influence include Savage, Sweet Savage, Blitzkrieg, GBH, Discharge, among others.

[mcmatanmc]

Kiss!!!

[liljuve13]

OZZY OZBORN

[HSVKaan]

bull, do you remember how succesful they were in the 80's, and even in this decade, selling out rock in rio to over 200,000 fans and sticking to their genre

[PhoenixKakashi19]

exactly!

[jerm26554]

Love maiden too, but america rarely notices bands like maiden, its a shame but maiden seemed more like a phase of the 80's and now never get talked about even slighty. I guess most american bands were NOT influenced by them, mostly foreigners. I love maiden, its a shame.:(

[ajaxrules1975]

And i want Bob Rock and Rick Rubin to be on stage...... so Rick can slap Bob right in the face. Bob costed us Metallica fans more than a decade.

[EpicArt]

amen my friend,amen.

[manamonkey101]

i think dave mustaine and jason newstead should be part of this

[jag2986]

Jason newsted is going to be inducted as well as Cliff burton... Dave never recorded on an album with the band, why would they induct him? he only hepled write a handful of songs

[undefinedxian]

u kno wat Dave helped them write one of their best songs!! so he should go there too and he was a member for more than a year, so he should be inducted too

[RlDEtheLIGHTNING]

their putting burton and newsted but no mustaine...

[SevenT8]

Wow! That's logical. Maybe Lloyd Grant and Ron McGovney should be inducted as well. Not to mention Flemming Rasmussen, Bob Rock, and even their fanbase! - You know, why not just induct everyone into the Hall of Fame that has worked on or even heard their albums! Mustaine came up with Megadeth. That's how he contributed to Metallica!

[MetallicaDeth666]

DAVE MUSTAINE SHOULD B A PART OF THIS! This would b a great time 2 bury the hatchet after all these years and come full circle. Mustaine help make Metallica.

[rgraz1022]

He was invited, but he declined the invitation

[sicmick112]

thanks for uploading this btw
