I could listen to James reading my refrigerator owner's manual.. his voice is everything

[itswrongtokillanimalsifyou]

James has always been sitting on an excellent sense of humor, and I'm sure a ton of interesting stories. A laid back podcast of his wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Looking at how graceful Kirk Hammett looks with fewer words, makes me convinced that it doesn't need too many words or vibe or attitude to communicate nicely.
My point is, he is super super important in the making of this gem record even when he's not let to speak.

[JulesBox]

James is wearing Cliff's rings, that's beautiful.

[Danjoker.]

James just looks more badass as the years go by

[Djembedude]

Kirk just emits chill kind vibes by walking into the room

[amber]

3:51 they laughed at Kirk's joke and he was so proud of it

[giaabrics]

2:05 Rob pointing at Kirk, Lars and James shows how much he appreciates Metallica both as a member and as a fan, he doesn't feel excluded when people talk about Metallica's albums before he joined. That's a great man over there.

Everybody should check out the Gibson icons interview with Kirk Hammett. It's a fantastic detailed look at his history with Metallica, and it's great to be able to hear Kirk just by himself be able to talk without being overpowered by Lars and James

[tomsmalley]

These guys saved my life including Jason & Cliff - So excited for the new album. Thank you Metallica...

[dwchen]

James's deep macho tone is a killer.
His voice grown deeper and deeper as he aged through time.
And it sounds even cooler when he growl in his songs.

[tanka]

James looks really healthy too! So happy for him.

[MikeysMorgue]

James did get emotional when Elton John told them how amazing they are. It was awesome!

[Will-lhlh]

I like how Kirk and Rob are just quietly sitting behind, waiting for the extroverts to talk

[wightangel]

James is a legend. His voice would not sound out of place in a western about Wyatt Earp. Kirk and Rob sat there silently as Lars does what he does best and became the spokesman for the band. They are legends, and yes it is heartwarming that James is wearing Cliff's rings.

[Kondratbl]

James looks very lively and comfortable compared to some of the older interviews. Glad he's doing better.

[mr.cheezyclown]

James: “I didn’t grow up around dragons, we had CATS”

[timetraverler]

I cannot imagine this world without Metallica 🎸I have loved there Music, for the entire 40 years and I hope they keep on ROCKING many more🎸🤘🏻🎤🥁

[evanator]

0:49 the drummer and bassist perfectly in sync. Wonderful. James' classic YEAAH in time as well lol

[MrBrewman]

James looks so healthy. He looks like how he did in 2003 after rehab minus the grayer hair. Such a difference compared to S&M 2.
