@Frederixus Grand Maximus Truly! Thanks Skippy

Yeah and if he returns to Metallican't, it'll all turn to shit once Lars lays into him. So I hope he's wise enough to go through his healing process, and leave Metallica behind. Much like Slayer did. Few more shows then DONE. People would have SO much more respect if this would happen. Then LARS can't do what he wants with the band.

I believe if Metallica ever does a farewell tour. James will do country music.

@@roylivingston9085 Ha could be...Like he said in one rehearsal video i watched, we're putting the C$nT back in Country.lol

@@drummer7557 "Metallica" isnt the problem dude, its relentless over touring....James even admitted...They went 3 years straight promoting Harwired

There are really cool videos you can find of him doing acoustic Beatles songs.

@LF X 89-91 Hetfield was gold, if edge is important

Me either, surprised the hell outta me!

This is the best I've ever hear James sound, vocally while doing an acoustic song.

All the greats will play any genre ! Especially him knowing Eddie ! I grew up when MTV just started and to this day Eddie Money “Shaken “ video “ in my heart has a special place for multiple reasons besides being killer! I am a metal head at heart!

Thanks from Ontario Canada ..... Fight Fire with Fire ////

Best front man EVER. PAPA HET🤘

Lol!

@@ickdon7999 oh he sure is a great frontman. His awesome in my eyes 💜💜

No life till leather 🤘

Love your videos Denis!

#afcvending

@@pierrehorak5049 Thank you! 🤘

Oh that he sure has entered legendary status. IMOO when he did the bridge benefit concert. His performed of 'In my life' that sure earned him the legend status. Man he was awesome as. I love the guy as a musician and as a man and human being. Weirdly enough him and I have gone through a lot of similar circumstances in our life's journey. Him and I in all honestly wouldn't want other people to feel sorry for us. All we would like is that others respect and be a real person and not someone 'fake as' being who enjoys playing mind games with us. Think it must be an Irish trait..as we're both of an Irish bloodline, that we think on them lines 😁😁😀😀

@Joe Publico I second your words 😁😀

He was a god 25 years ago

I love this guy as a musician. His so gutsy and will give time for an all within my hands benefit concert, bridge benefit concert or a tribute one and play part of a set. His pretty diverse. I'd love to do a duet or a few song performance with James. His daughter, Cali is a pretty good singer. She has James musical abilities. Same as Myles Ulrich has Lars's drumming skills in Justice era. Man they got to be so proud of their kids. I have a daughter who has a good singing voice. Music is in my veins and genes.

But I heard just last week that many shows were canceled because James is in rehab?

Baby-Shark GTO He went into rehab in October.

Damn guys I wish that wasn't so

Baby-Shark GTO naw

METAL Of Honor!

I love how down to Earth James is these days. People like Kerry King should take all the notes.

Army of One. Man, if Het, God Forbid, ever goes solo, That Would Be A Hell Of An Album Title For Him...

"Our egos matched the size of our insecurities". Such a strong statement from my idol who I thought was invincible!

Yep now he's needs to ditch Lars who will try to tear him down for all of this. Give Metallica to Lars, I'm sure he can find something to do with it. James doesn't seem to concerned, which is GREAT!! Worry about YOU James, take care of yourself. IMO do what Slayer did, go be with your family/kids.

You are welcome, son!

YeOldeOgre I totally agree 👍

I think I saw a video somewhere that smaller crowds make him more nervous than 10k people lol

He was drunk for last 5years maybe.

Oh yeah and his a dark horse like I am one. Singing different styles is a huge accolade to do. I sing different styles. A huge trait to have and I'm only good enough in voice to sing backup. Still variety is the spice of life.

I wanna see hetfield sing some Springsteen material....

if you've heard his waylon jennings cover where he plays all the instruments it pretty much just sounds like metallica

@@arglbargl it's great ive heard that. It would be cool for an acoustic type album.

Why cover album. He's creative enough to do some country rock stuff,that would be interesting!

@@braca977 yeah your right, I think an album of songs that he can do his own way. Songs that we're influential or whatever just for fun.

Veero A That’s the “Warm honey” his voice extrudes with the ever loving rasp! Love love love it! 😎🤘

That’d be cool, with Jerry doing those unusual harmonies.

what a neat idea

That’d be awesome. It does have an AIC vibe to it.

he sounds absolutely fantastic, I've noticed there's also a lot more low end in his voice which he lost after 2008, and that's just amazing to hear

Serious answer... I never said he "dedicated" the song to his wife. But just who do you suppose he sang this song so passionately for, other than his wife for 20+years? ffs

I think the only one James calls "Baby" is his wife. And it's so obvious... which is why I found your question and follow up comment frankly ridiculous. Read the lyrics to the song (or listen even) and then maybe learn something about the incredibly supportive relationship James has with his wife.

And the "tribute" part is one musician paying tribute to another musician by playing their music/ songs. It's not singing the song TO the person, which is what I'm speaking about. This thread is also about James' first public performance after being in rehab since last Sept. Coincidentally his first public performance was at Eddie Money's tribute concert. I find it odd that you come on here to argue with me, but have nothing to say about James' performance (and my thought is you don't follow Metallica, and know nothing about James and Francesca or that this was his first performance since rehab. I won't respond further to someone so misinformed. And you're blocked, ok?

No. Metal elitist will bashed him again 😥

So fucking what?!

@@Natures..Sacrifice and screw them because James don't need to play by anyone's runes bar his own. His a gutsy artist and is pretty diverse musician. He is great at acoustic. I started to learn to play on my acoustic guitar. I think I'm more of a drummer like Lars is.

@@rosiewhitfield123 lars destroy metallica. he uses james. i think youre not thrash metallica (the real metallica ) fans at all

@@rosiewhitfield123 because lars midget ulrich james mighty hetfield lost his voice. man i hate that guy, the whole metal fanbase hate him. james is great at acoustic, yes but he is wonderful at metal before ulrich destroy it. james is a great and talented songwriter but he cant forget who he is. he cant forget who had brought him this far. he cant forget who had supported him and his band until now. his original fans his oldschool fans. metallica oldschool fans. you cant just screw them like that. Time to write a new metal ballad like Fade to Black or Sanitarium again. not like nothing else matters
