    This man will continue to fight the battle each day until his passing. I do the same. Everyday is a battle to not use or drink and to try and find comfort and joy in soberness. Mental health doesn’t judge or discriminate. It’s real. It’s universal.

It's not just about resisting the urge to drink or take drugs, it's also about the demons in ones head, other stuff that maybe going on in ones life, self belief. Just because someone is famous or has money doesn't mean they live a charmed life. I hope for you and your loved ones that none of it ever happens to you.

I'm pretty good at it, I have good financial discipline and food discipline, but even I had trouble cutting back on drinking. I haven't quit altogether, but I never let myself progress to the point I became an alcoholic. I'm mostly cutting back due to calories, and it being a carcinogen, and the most important reason, I don't want to be an alcoholic like my dad. It's not easy, especially when you get bored. But if I can focus on other things, it's not too bad. Having a way to direct that energy.

    It shows me he applied himself in rehab saying he creates his own fears. We all do.. to be self aware like this and to be open and honest is something you hear people in the program say.. it’s a universal language. The 4th step in the 12 steps brings in a lot of self reflecting, it gets pounded into you to constantly call out your emotions, that way you can’t be in denial or be delusional. I believe anyone in this life can benefit from the 12 steps if they legitimately applied themselves..

My life would not have been the same without your unique talent to translate otherwise hard to define feelings into sound. I am a 69 year old little grey haired grandmother but when I play your music it gives an ageless and powerful experience which is priceless, and your efforts to create a universal bond of Metallica family takes effect. Try not to flog yourself with negative feedback, we are all screwed up in our own way. Make those 60s the best years of your life by continuing what you have been doing lately which is bringing joy with your concerts. You are creating a monumental legacy, and please enjoy it.

    James has always had an iron clad philosophy about side projects and he's stuck to it. He believes it's a big negative for Metallica. He's the only guy in the group who could actually pull it off and be successful. Instead, he's put those non-metal pieces in the Metallica framework. It definitely worked with Nothing Else Matters but that's about it. I think he knows his limitations and doesn't want to face the critical gaze of the world without the support of the band apparatus behind him.

    When you have heart failure, you don’t go to the hospital once and are cured forever. When you have Crohn’s disease, you manage every part of your life the best you can and accept that you’ll have flare-ups sometimes. Only when you have addiction do people expect you to need help once and needing it again is a failure. You should hurry up and decide to be fine on your own. We say things like “reach out” and “get help” - but when people do, we make a spectacle of it. In a way that we never do for any other chronic condition…

    Metallica cancelled their show in New Zealand in 2019 because James went into rehab. I had a ticket for that show. They hadn't been to NZ since 2010 (and I didn't get to see them then). But you know what? I wasn't mad. Not one bit. Not angry, or sad or even disappointed. Metallica are my favorite band and James was a huge inspiration to me in my early days of guitar playing. Still my biggest inspiration. So I was actually just supportive of where he needed to go to get himself better. I love the guy. He's looking real good now and I'm glad to see he came out of there kicking ass, releasing a new record, and getting on the road.

    I think many people (especially musicians) to get sober, but if you’re not staying busy or moving in some way, almost constantly.. staying sober is a challenge. Maybe it’s like some dopamine fix where everything seems new, or productive.. but the second you slow down or stop.. these haunting thoughts come. You may exhaust yourself or work til you break, but the fear of stopping or slowing down is greater because it’s so easy to just reach for a substance.

    The personal detail of any individual’s ‘breakdown’ are less relevant than the acceptance and belief in finding a different, healthier way to ‘cope’. He stands, writes and sings from a stance that reflects back his own experiences and perceptions, remains humble, carries the burden of what he sees and then loses himself in a rabbit hole. We all have our own triggers and ergo our own path to recovery. What’s important is that we are reminded there is a path to recovery and, perhaps, even just that there are always steps to a better way, and always changes to our journey, we just need to take them ☺️

    I remember back then, I saw a video of Metallica playing live. I saw James and I could tell he was struggling. I didn't know about what or why I thought it, but it was very obvious to me. A few days later I heard that he had gone back to rehab. Metallica and their music, and specifically James, have been integral to helping my mental health through the years. So I want nothing more than to see them healthy and strong, and prioritizing themselves and their healths and families. The Metallica family will be here for them when they get better. Also, I'm a couple of weeks from watching them live again, and I am insanely excited.

    James is one of those few people in entertainment who leans more right-of-center in his political views...and of course, he can't come out and say that boldly or he'll be shamed and ridiculed for it. I for one, love him for it.

    It's the right approach. Unfortunately, too many bands think they know better just because they have a big following. Expressing your political views is a lose lose proposition, especially on a stage. People don't fork out hundreds of dollars to hear a musician sermonize. Even if I agreed with his views, it's not what I came for.

    Cuck Hammett with his "death is coming" face diaper on is absolutely pathetic. He's probably still wearing it in the car alone driving to get his 30th "booster". I still like hetfield but I wish they'd just hang it up. This last album is unlistenable.

    God, shut up. He's not shamed for it because he's not an idiot. He's also definitely not a political or social conservative; have you even read his lyrics? he's from a totally different generation, and definitely has no love for politicians in general. Any of the people that get "shamed" for it almost always have poorly thought out views and say stupid shit.

    I first became aware of JH in '83-the picture on the back of KEA...a zitty-faced teenager full of piss and vinegar. We have seen many phases/faces of his life... For many years there was a mystique around them because there weren't any videos or radio airplay. We knew about "Alcoholica"--they were proud partiers and drinkers. We knew about the work ethic. We have watched him grow up-going from someone running on pure adrenaline and attitude, to see him learn more about himself and the world. I am so happy for him that he has (apparently) fund a sense of Peace in his life.

You can’t show anything other than high spirit and you have to perform at the absolute top of your game Then Monday comes and you have to go right back to family mode and figure it out. You can’t bring the excitement or stresses of the weekend back home with you Repeat this for decades and then call your doctor 🤮

    Love the guy, glad he was able to get a break and get some help, but man I really don't love this narrative that people went into lockdown out of "fear." I wasn't terribly afraid for myself or anyone close to me, other than my elderly parents. I went into lockdown out of prudence and compassion for others. When the public health history books are written, we will understand which cautionary measures were effective and which were security theatre, but the fact remains that most of us observed those measures because we believed it was the right thing to do, not because we were afraid.

    Time will make people realize the big mistake and scam, I'm not denying the deaths and suffering people went through, because my family went through that too. But, we allowed them take what little control and freedom of movement we had left, and now with AI implemented in every single surveillance camera the government and corporations know exactly where you are and what you are doing regardless of the smartphone usage. Our bodies are sacred and no one can force upon us nothing, specially a drug or substance that has been proven multiple times around the world that did more harm that good and that's only short-term, we don't know what'll happen in 5 or 10 years. I pray for all the people that were coerced into that.

    I understand what you’re saying and I subscribe to your logic. My greatest “fear” through most of those 2 years was the unknown. However, I believe Mr Hetfield is being empathetic to the MANY folks who were almost paralyzed with fear of the whole situation from the very beginning. That “fear” in more urban environments was very real. If you live on the 14th floor of a 20-story apartment building and you’re trying to avoid contact with others due to the unknown, it’s almost impossible unless you stay in your apartment. It was terrifying for millions of people.
