"A band is the dysfunctional family you choose." -Guitar Hero 2

So true. I always wondered what’s the key to success with your band. After 15 years of being in bands I know for sure that getting along with each other makes at least 50%. Every time me and my bandmates had a great opportunity, our egos blew it up. That’s sucks

Yep 4 or 5 egos who think there all right!!!!

As someone whos been in a lot of bands i can say this is just not true. Proper musos get along with each other and other easily othjerwise yo ucant have anysuccess as a musician. This is how bands who formed as teenagers and stay together for 50 years act. The ynever had to be musicians, theyre metallica members.

Thanks Captain Kirk.

Kirk has stood at the sidelines since cliff died just seeing these two "James and Lars" ripping each other apart. it was a total power struggle. I feel for Kirk. he should have said "you two are being complete dicks to each other. get your shit sorted out" more often in these moments

@@shaunusmaximus7248 i sometimes think kirk is missing at least half of a testicle

James Imposes a 4 hour window of WORK because of HIS problem. Doesn't want to take ownership of it. He shows up late. When he gets called out for it says IN THE PAST you showed up late. Totally not owning if it did happen in the past it wasn't when somebody imposed a 4 hour work window on the band. No wonder Dave Mustaine Kicked James ass.

The thing is though, I really wish they could get somebody else to say it, because the only person that likes hearing Lars talk is Lars.

Then he should step aside and manage it and retire as a drummer but about 4 decades too late

4 hours is suspiciously close to the amount of time a drug addict has until he needs to score again, unprofessionally AF

@@Ukraineaissance2014 wtf are you even talking about. You've either never been an addict or have no idea how it works because this is the dumbest shit I've ever read.

shut up kirk was putting out that they already had a lot of issues that were acumulated from their past

Should have brought Dave Mustaine into the room... Then you'd have the trifecta of issues. But I guess 20-30 years of letting shit slide, only stores it in the cupboard until someone opens the door.

Lmao was looking for this

Yeah, exactly. As someone who works as a full time audio producer...James really thought they were going to make an album by putting in 20 hours per week AND having no work done on it when he's not in studio? When was it supposed to come out, 2010?

Also the comment about Lars not caring about his family if he’s willing to stay and work a full 8 hours. Surprised Lars didn’t flip his lid there. Like every male in America doesn’t work a full 8 hours everyday James. Jesus.

@@lyricelizabeth9860 You guys dont seem to appreciate the context. James' recovery is akin to chemotherapy. You're fighting for you life - literally. And your family and their wellbeing. Its 1000x more important than playing guitar. He's already got more money than he could ever spend. He's not opposed to hard work - he is trying to make a reasonable compromise by committing to continuing the work at all, while still being able to focus on his recovery. And Lars who is still blowing lines and drinking acts like the whole thing is just some silly siesta James is taking because he is still about the party life.

Are you saying Kirk is the problem!? I think the reason Kirk isn’t fighting is that 9 times out of 10 these issues are totally ego based and not worth fighting about.

@@pergustafsson1155 no lol, I’m not saying Kirk is the problem at all lol, if anything he’s probably the most reasonable person in the band at the time.

Its like Richard Wright between Roger waters and David gilmour

Kirk speaks then Lars taps the table thinking, "if it wasn't for the camera's I would throw this at you and tell you to GTFO!" I think Lars and James are just toxic

Kirk just wants to have fun and play music, kirk and rob are the two who are the sit aside and not join in alot, they just wanna play music and have fun, but it makes sense why james and lars take it personally when its literally their lifes work basically

It’s been 21 years now. Still hear his chewing? 😂

this is after rehab, so...

But James wasn't trying to do solo music or work with a different band. Also, the band members were invested in Metallica. Newsted clearly wasn't fully devoted to the band. For good or bad reasons whatever, he wasn't fully invested. Lars' words...."he left the band..he LEFT the Band!"

@@killwalker Jason said that Qprime, their management company, was fully behind Echobrain and wanted to promote it, James found out and basically ordered them not to. That was final straw for Jason.

​@@killwalker not true. Newsted wanted metallica to take a break with the intention of everyone coming back together after the year. Everybody needs a bread and just because Jason was tired didn't mean he wasn't devoted. It seems like he was a bit burnt and needed time to regroup.

​@killwalker to be fair, James and Lars were both taking time away from the band at this point to be with their families. Jason had chosen to not commit himself to starting a family because music was his passion and his life. If they were taking time away from the band for personal reasons, why couldn't he? He was bullied relentlessly in Metallica, from day one right until he left. James didn't realise he couldn't have it both ways.

Yeah cuz his band always kept the same line-up

Yeah the problem is Lars is a drummer he can spend all day in the studio doing blow and not actually having to work. A lot of the issues going on behind the scenes was that lars didn't think getting drunk and doing cocaine all day long, was something to stop just because James went in to rehab. The flip side is obviously it's absurd that they couldn't work without him in the studio.

And people talk about James like he's a God and just an innocent guy, but even he says that Lars is the reason why Metallica still existing.

Ramsés F. James Hetfield is the true dickhead in metallica not Lars. James caused Jason to leave.

@@Grimeyhoob Dude obviously you are blinded by the media he's not as much of a jerk he didn't at the time notice that he was bullying jason newsted and that's because he was still grieving the lost of thier bassist cliff burton and didn't even get a full six months in to do so which preferably is the minimum amount to grieve! Also he was very young and less wise but never noticed everyone messes up in life. And he was loaded on beer because the poor man was rushed into fame and his still had anxiety I mean he said to conquer it he would drink, drink, and drink to not get scared on stage!! So he's not purposely a jerk he's had a lot to deal with and to be honest lars and him are a lot like which often makes both against each other.

+Peter Mikkelsen exactly my thoughs when he said that, people work 10 hour, 12 hour days, some go away from home 2-3 weeks for work.

Old comment but I'll reply anyways. I think he was referring to being in a studio voluntarily instead of being with his family. Their circumstances are a little different. They can choose to either be in the studio or be with their family, it's not an actual JOB.

Lars said "if that's what it takes." He was referring to the effort you have to put in to make a quality record, not that he does not give a shit about his family. Why would that be a huge concern for James? It is not about "choosing to be in the studio." It is about the sacrifices of time in the studio to make quality music. Has anybody here had experiences with an alcoholic? My sister is one (over 1 year sober now) and they are extremely difficult to deal with, drunk or sober. It is amazing how the Hetfield fanboys still defend him to the bitter end and try to blame it all on Lars and Jason.

Thats what I was thinking

dylan160w you'd never cut in music by saying, "it isn't a job." Tell that to any musician and they'll spit on you for such an absurd comment

What about Bob Rock (the person who wanted James and Lars to stop arguing).

I think Lars actually makes a lot of sense here

They all make sense bc they all have their own needs. True empathy is one of the most nuanced and difficult human conditions. Talking about it is difficult.

Try the entire movie. Lol

UltraViolence74 Lars also makes sense. James is super selfish and is an asshole. He fucked over Jason and is the reason Jason left.

Let's use the plastic blade, okay?

Jason left the focking band ! Period l explanation point !

@Luke Bargowski when you're going through a lot of unhealty and bad attitudes by your bandmates, you don't pay attention to the things that you will loose if you leave, you have to do what is best for your self no matter the success or fame that you could get.

This deserves waaaaaay more likes lol

jacob shove he never wonders why he is there. He avoids being an asshole simply and not to get into arguments

same

"How did I ended up here?"

He's thinking about shredding with his wah

Agreed. James was going off the cliff to get himself together and he expects his long time friends to understand. Lars basically threw a two year tantrum about how he has always felt less-than in the band and in the friendship and he didn’t want to let it continue since it wasn’t him that was stopping the band to get it together. In my mind, this is AMAZING stuff and this band means everything to these guys! Most bands would just implode. Most bands break up rather than fight it out and come to love and understand each other and continue on. Granted, this band was/is a huge machine that a lot of people rely on for a living but still, the spirit of rock n roll has always been to implode. These guys broke the mold for a minute in time by hiring the therapist to assist them and get to the root causes of their problems and work it out. This man earned his money in this gig. Without his efforts, it’s possible that Metallica would have been done for. Then in walks Rob and they go on to make the best music as a unit since MOP.. 💯🙏

I think not. Urlich is feeling excatly this: 2:33 , he have a good moral compass. Hetfield is used to playing with others so he can get what he want. Lars is respecting others but always being frustreded BECAUSE no one give him this credit back, he is not self-centric jerk like James. Lars also have life but no one cares about what he is feel. And now look at this: Lars is being himself all the time, he is honest being truth even if somebody with not agreed with him. James all of he's lifetime was lieying, acting, fooling everyone and now he have a mental problems, he can't be himself no more. He must play this fuc*king star all the time. #teamlars #respecting #rules

@@czernm20 EXACTLY. Lars is actually the altruistic one in the video that get fed up about how everything had to be scheduled around James's feeling of the moment while Lars never had to stop or nobody cared about his feelings and his family duties as well to get Metallica going like it's always been this way and Lars just had to deal with that. When he says that Metallica and family duties can coexist, Hetfield just blew him off with a shitty ass response like Lars working 8 hours on a Metallica project means that Lars doesn't give a shit about his family. What a shitty thing to say. How is that supposedly make Lars the bad guy here?! Lars should have punched James in the face just for implying that Lars is a shitty dad .just because he wanted to spend time on Metallica's new music balancing his family duties.

100% agree. Although I would say it needed to occur in 1991 while Izzy was still present.

Everyone ripping on Lars for his whining should understand that he's the only reason the band still exists. He was the only one not afraid to be honest, even if he was insulting James. By being brutally honest with James, they were able to overcome their breakdown in communication and rebuild their relationship. Unfortunately for GNR, Axl never seemed to want to do this.

At least that gave us the masterpiece that is chinese democracy
