His music has been the soundtrack for my life. From 14 to 52. Lucky enough to have seen them at their best (86' mop) and seen the genesis of thrash. What a fucking time to grow up in and this guy was already a legend in his late teens early 20s. If you listen to his lyrics he has told his life story to the world. The good and rhe bad. And even the ugly. People can hate on him but imo the greatest bandleader- innovator- front man to ever live. I don't feel weird saying I love the guy and I feel blessed for him sharing his gift with the world. His battle with the bottle and his honesty about it has inspired countless others to get help and pulled me out of a lot of dark places. Thanks for everything Mr. Hetfield.
