JAMES HETFIELD INTERVIEW (2009)

http://www.socialstereotype.com

The music industry may have changed, but Metallica have somehow managed to outlast grunge, Britpop and their metal contemporaries to remain one of the worlds most revered and highest-grossing rock acts. Sure, there have been a lot of dodgy haircuts, line-up shuffles, stints in rehab, dubious albums, a crusade against internet music piracy, and a car crash documentary in the interim, but to millions of people around the world, lead singer James Hetfield is still considered to be one of the most influential musicians of the last 25 years. In this exclusive video interview the legendary metal frontman talks to Tim Noakes about his life in Metallica, from his dark childhood and 80s excesses, to his worst fashion crimes and ongoing musical competition with Lars and Kirk.

@dashaftaway if you don't like Metallica, then why the fuck are you on a Metallica video, dumbass? Go listen to your shit music you call "pop and rap." You have no taste in music.

@joeibonezz I'm sorry? When you say 'that British music is shit', do you mean Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath? Because really, they are not shit.

[joeibonezz]

@ChrisKiichi jaja,går bra, men jeg er helt enig med deg ;)

@NorwegianMetallica Beklager, håper du ikke tar deg nær.. Jeg fikk ganske mye trøkk på samme måte og idag(før) så skjønte jeg GODT hvorfor.. har studert og hørt alt for mye av metallica siden selv jeg var 13 og nå er jeg 19.. St.Anger er gay album :D ikke helt der Metallica hører hjemme! ) håper ikke jeg var altfor slem.. Men skjønner hva jeg mener.. ekke kult og se folk sove under konserten og våkne når enter sandman spilles :p eller seek and destroy.. posers.. :)

@ChrisKiichi jeg skjønner hva du mener,men jeg er bare 13 år å da,og kan en del om historien :) og black album er ikke favoritten min i det hele tatt,favoritt albumet mitt er master of puppets og litt st.anger,det er mange metallica fans som ikke liker st.anger plata på grunn av trommelyden og det er ingen gitar soloer men jeg synes det ikke er så værst :) men jeg kan mye om metallica :)
