23:38 This is what a young Japanese woman said after seeing a concert by Metallica. "I am a little shaken inside. I am stunned with emotion. I don't want such a band to be called thrash. I think what everyone wants is this kind of heavy metal. As long as there are people who support such a band, I think the music of heavy metal will be immortal".

It's called late puberty. Happened to me too.

James with great answers. Probably one of the most revealing interviews. It shows the intention of growing up lyrically & musically. He opens up about the issues & topics of the songs: manipulation, freedom of expression, freedom of choice, the will of doing the right thing, of being true to what you like at a moment they were accused of "sellouts". The thing is Metallica is never afraid of trying new ways of reaching out to people musically.

この頃の繊細ゆえに人を近づけないオーラを纏っていたジェームズ魅力的です。 信頼するマサに対して誠実に言葉を選びながら一生懸命応えようとする所も。 時代的にそういう空気は有ったのかも知れないけど、これから最高傑作が出る、グルーブ重視になるとブラックアルバムを予見している正則凄いですね。

I love hearing all that late 80s pop/glam metal and then cutting to James during the _Justice_ era. All those bands pretty much disappeared soon after. It's a shame because I miss that style of music but I have to admit that it was so limited and narrow. Not even talking about grunge, there were other bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More and Suicidal Tendencies that needed to not be "Outshined" along with the likes of Soundgarden and Alice in Chains.

Probably their creative peak. They simplified everything about their music after this.

Never heard the TNT song at the beginning. It's actually really catchy! Metallica is one of my top 10 favorite bands and I love thrash metal, but how can anybody not like glam metal??? Just because everybody hated them in the 90's? People just follow what everybody else says about the genre and doesn't actually take the time and effort to listen to it without looking at the pictures/videos. If they didn't dress in that attire, you wouldn't say a DAMN thing about the music. (Plus, they had some of the greatest singers and guitarists of all time, Reb Beach, Vito Bratta, George Lynch, and Warren Demartini to name a few shred kings) (rant concluded)

伊藤正則は９０年代のメタリカを見事に言い当ててたね。やはり、マサは凄いと思った。

O filho dele tá bem o jeito dele. Até a voz.

“I think everything should be available to everyone” -it’s clear James never shared this thought with Lars! 😂

I reckon metal detectors scream when James walks through regardless of if he has his piercings in on that particular day.
