Cleveland Brown why do people expect these guys to act the same way they did as teenagers? it's called growing up and acting like a man not a punk. try it sometime
He's such a big inspiration for me. He's a fucking legend. Incredible that he wrote that many amazing songs.

Because he is a quite smart person and true to himself no matter what. Acting and talking like a rock star would've been pretentious for him. Don't forget he grew up as a musician in an era when bands like Poison had this poser attitude and MetallicA has always been on the opposite side of that.

He's not in the biggest band in the world. Iron Maiden are the biggest and best band in the world!!
He'll always be the best frontman in Metal to me. I've had the honour of meeting him a coupla times; the first time was back in '86 in London, and as much as he's chilled somewhat, he's still the same as he was back then - honest, sincere and just a pleasure to talk to. And he's what keeps Metallica together. They'd be finished without him. Yeah, top guy! 🤘🏻😎

Lol while James is starting to show his age, when he laughs and smiles, the look on his face is still the same as when he was like 22 or 23. When he does that I just imagine him in 1984, long hair, goofing off. He's still a big kid inside.
God bless you James.. To you, your family.. The Band.. And thank you for give us more music!!
James is the man!! Such an inspiration for music🤘🏽🤘🏽
He's much more intelligent sounding than I expected after all these years...
she's lovely. made the interview very natural.
He seems so calm and grounded. When the journalist tells him: "Thanks James it's an honor" he just goes "Ohhh...I appreciate it, thanks" and handshakes. Such a simple word and move, but shows how cool this guy is.
I want to meet him and the rest of the band.
I love when James talks about his wife and kids keeping him grounded.

I love James Hetfield so much!!!! He is my idol in every way...
Still my favorite band after 25 years of listening to rock music. God bless him and the other guys, including Cliff and Jason of course.
Awesome interview. Hetfield is such a cool guy - so calm and humble. Would love to meet him someday, even for just a handshake and a picture. And Josie Dye...Holy hell, I'd like to meet her too!
7:02 "I think live, we're pretty good" lol! And look at the interviewers reaction!
She's fangirling hard right now
Great interview! Hetfield has always been cool. :-)
What an amazing person James is, I've been a fan since 1982 and respect him more and more as the years go by. I think we are so lucky to have the opportunity to witness one of the best bands of all times. I wish him and Metallica nothing but the best. Thank you for the music Metallica!!
I have been a Metallica fan sense 1986 Master Of Puppets was introduced to me have all the albums never been angry or a hater and watching James grow and become more thoughtful through the years is great I just love HardWired its old school back to basics

I really wish Metallica would come to San Antonio, Texas. I was looking at the past tour dates, and I couldn't find a single tour stop here. I know for a fact it would sell out. Please Metallica, we would love to have you!

She kept her mouth shut and listened. Sign of a real pro.
She's a good interviewer. You can tell she is genuinely interested in what James is saying.
very good interview, thank you!
the interviewer was so nice, letting him speak so much and her being respectful with her questions. i love this.
10:25 even james was surprised 🤣🤣🤣 omg I'm dead!🤣
What a great interview! Seriously, Josie asked perfect questions, and dug deep like most people wouldn't.
Such a great interview with really good questions! And James is just one of the coolest guys on this planet 🤘🏻
One of the best Metallica interviews I've ever seen. Props!
best james hatfield interview ever
I have always admired James a lot he just seems like on of those really bad ass people who are just really cool and he also seems like a gentleman
"live we're pretty good"...? Understatement of the year! Metallica are phenomenal live. I s**t you not I read a review that said "Metallica 4/5, they are so good live that I expect something extra, and this time it was just "flawless" therefore the 4"... :P love it.
Thank you Josie for doing a unique interview. As a Metallica fan, I am tired of the same 'ole questions these guys get over and over. I hope you get rewarded with more of these types of opportunities in the future.
My man James. What a journey so far. May he scream "Yeah" for many many years.
God his voice just resonates in my chest and I have had a crush on him since I was a teenager. I LOVE him!!
Moscow 1991, such an honor to play in front of so many people
I think her heart skipped like 25 beats at the end. such a great, natural interview!
Such a great interview. So simple and down-to-earth. Really nice job. I enjoyed it and Josie is so pretty and gorgeous bth
Brilliant interviewer , relaxed , good valid questions , and she's a fox !!!! Did I see James blush at the end when he shook her hand ? cool ....
Yes . Thank you James.
THE man...
I love watching Metallica interview. Especially James, Kirk, and Robert. They are really humble persons. Even if they don't have any band, I think they are still nice persons to have chat with or sharing story.

But in a recent interview here on youtube by 'q on cbc' he was serious and pleasant. Just like James is in this interview. I guess it is true; older and wiser.

Possibly the hugest inspiration in my life . I feel I know him, but I don’t. If I could say something to him....... it would be thank you! Because he’s real. And genuine, and honest! He’s why I believe in rehab, and heavy Metal. Metallica made my life better.
