"It's always the diggidiggi's after the daladaada." ~James Hetfield

I don't understand why people are so down on metallica. Yes they changed their sound a little. But james is still writing some wonderful riffs. After 30 years you have to expect change. Who here is in their 50's and doing exactly what you did at 18. They still play the old stuff live and it sounds great. But I don't expect another kill Em all or puppets coming out of the studio. It's just part of getting older and growing. I have a ton of respect for them just for continuing put out music.

James Hetfield, the human metronome.

2:45 ... this is thrash

6:56 its so beautiful *_* like a eargasm

0:38 James using Kirk's guitar.

How in the hell does one remember all of their own songs??? I am blown away with how musicians have that ability.

@7:24 James, "Let's simplify it." Producer, "Okay you want me to leave the bass out?" James, "No." LOL the irony Jason Newstead where are you

the man has a golden touch. you cant teach what he has

love the sound of the Gibson V on "Gymbag". Just classic thrash

Love it at 7:50 when hetfield plays his guitar from binge&purge. EET FUK it says haha.

The laugh and look at 7:58, priceless :D

2:45 the judas kiss chorus one of the sickest riffs of the hole album \m/

Both Kirk and James are badass 😆😀😎

hetfield has the most beautiful guitars in all rock history. I would die for one of them... He's a Killer and so powerfull, that no word can explain it the right way. Godlike!!!

3:07 - How that feel? - M'kay... I JUST CAME BACK FROM HELL!!

Fisrt to say, Awesome ^^ Love stuff like this!

Who else noticed that miniature copy of James gray guitar that is in the middle of James and Kirk just standing there on the counter of 3:10 ?

1:54 I love that riff it speaks to me and I love its sorta groove and melancholy.

Saying that Kirk sucks won't make you famous. Try to play and be famous like Kirk, then you can talk about how good you are as a guitarist.

7:52 IS JAMES USING HIS ORIGINAL 'EET FUCK' GUITAR FROM THE AJFA TOUR??

Thanks a lot!

6:03, James is saying in his head, "Dude, stfu!"

The riff master!

wait... so does that mean James was the one who wrote the Suicide and Redemption solo? That's pretty beast lol...!

3:18 - first time I see Kirk Hammett with Telecaster!

Thanks. :)

6:50, that clean tone, and the lick is just heavenly

The amps they have lying around are usually Mesa combos, yes. That's probably the same one they had in the tuning rooms at shows throughout a good portion of 90s/00s which is a Dual Recto Trem-O-Verb. 2:45 is badass. Judas Kiss has one of the best grooves on DM and that chorus is just so powerful and thrashy!

3:08 "How'd that feel?" - "Ok..." Awesome

Great point. Makes sense now. Lol now time to start using my Strat to practice with my friends haha.

2:47 That Flying V is older than most of the people watching this video, including me. He used that way back in the early days of Metallica.

2:46 ¿Original Kill Em All era Flying V?

I hope their in the studio right now doing this for a new album!!

around 5:40 to 7:55 they're working on my fav song. suicide and redemption. seriously love what they did with that song. it's even better live (from what i've seen on youtube) oh and after watching this, my appreciation for death magnetic went up. I love how hard James and Lars work to make their music right.

it's james' amplifier. he plays a diezel vh4. an awesome piece of win!

Nice riff covers man! will you ever cover full songs?

Greatest rock/metal band ever. Hetfield one of the greatest song writers ever!

James loves those Gibsons. I can't afford the one I really want. I have a really old Ibenez 1976 copy of a 59 Les Paul. I traded a junk car, blown up 1980 4cyl. mustang like 25 years ago.It has grover tuners and really nice hardware I love it.

This album should have been full blown quality... but it needs remastering! James' riffage never ceases

0:23 awesome bass riff!!

Love u Metallica,James Hetfield

It's because it's the working title they used when they made the songs (also some lyrics and singing-rhythms were changed on the official release)

Best profession ever.

Happy Birthday James!!

7:53 THE LEGENDARY "EET FUK" hahaha i love that guitar

Correct nice to see someone say what ive been saying for years :)

I truly say that The Mummy guitar is looking quite good in james' hands:D

James is the Riff man.......All riffs of death magnetic written by him

awn thanks

Does anyone know what is meant with "German soup" at 0:25? Or was it the old title of Cyanide? :D

4:32-4:36 classic metallica! :) love it!

just in the studio

when kirk uses the tele, then his sound isn' t so heavy because of the coils (emg or not). James always uses emg active humbuckers (and sometimes pafs) and mesa boogie amp for metal/ Roland twang amp for clean (with neck pickup). James also uses different distortion or metal pedal, add the downpicking technique, and then you have a heavy clean and metal sound.

Dude they go over what songs the fans like and then they just practice it over and over.. They got new ear pieces that play background stuff via Bluetooth. Not too difficult. Wow 😱 amazing

james is a legend!

it's from Suicide & Redemption, starts about 03.40. into the song :)

i dig the tele tone

He's also one of the best riff artists of all time.

I know the frustration!

I would agree on that

Yeah or explorer. I love his ESP Snakebyte, this guitar is fucking awesome!

still hes fucking awesome

The clean Suicide bit james does sounds fucking beautiful

That just helps proving my argument ;)

lol thank you dude, but that was really a rhetorical question :) but you are fucking awesome \m/

@marianpanizzi It's the kinda-solo from 'Suicide And Redemption' ... their instrumental song on the album!

2:18 - 2:28 so, there are two James?

what kinda amp is it that james uses when hé is practicing? is that a mesa combo?

all nightmare long :)

what guitare is kirk playing at 5:03?!

kirk love you

Man, say wathever you. But this album kills. It is by far one of my favourites. Kill 'em all is great, master of puppets is the master, but Death Magnetic just became the best for me. They changed their tone and all that but for me its better now. Just an opinion. Keep on recording Metallica you're doing great :)

when hé is playing that thing that robert was doing ? is that on a roland :s? i thought a roland jc 120 was a clean amp?

7:48 James playing the EET FUK Guitar!!

whats the song in the very begining that plays for like a second

8:00 whats the name of the song ?? Anyone?

8:00 Does anybody know what song that is???

2:46 - 3:07 .... Less known fact, but "James Hetfield" translates to " Badass Riffmaster" in ALL known languages!

James looks cool with the silver beard.

Yes sir :p

1:52 That riff is not on the 'Death Magnetic' album, or am I wrong?

7:57 Epic !!

qual o nome da musica 5:00

thats true

7:20 great riff for RHCP :D

Yeah

James hetfield is the real deal man!

7:00 that was BEAUTIFUL , any one knows what song is this from or anything..

I'm so used to him using Les Pauls

Probably his best sounding guitar of this video too.

Ive always wondered, Why does kirk use a tele when practicing but not on stage?

wat is the song at 8:02?

metallica forever

whats the song that james plays the solo at 8:00

That's the receiver for the wireless guitar connection... probably.

Hetfield = the Riff Machine.

Awesome riff at 2:50 *-*

6:50 made my day...

what's the song at 0:31 ?
