Metallica - Intro / James Hetfield (Munich, Germany - May 26, 2024)

[jamesbrough]

just imagine what goes through his head the moment he hears the first notes of Ecstacy Of Gold, all the history, the ups, the downs, the blood, the sweat, the tears, the struggles, the victories, the deaths and then he takes all that and powers up to the task at hand. Very inspiring stuff to witness!

[TheBrokenOne]

The guitar technician guy really knows how to put James in his place before the show. They must know each other for years.

[TheNomadicHandpan]

This man is seriously one of the coolest people ever. He’s gotten so much more humble in his older age!

[mikemac]

I love the fact he's singing along to ACDC's "It's a long way to the top"

[frankbooth]

What a down to earth man. After so many years, James is still the same music fanatic HUMAN like in the 80's.

I’m a professional and sophisticated woman in my 60’s. My husband is a devoted Metallica fan, that already went to 5 Metallica concerts, including the one just recently in Boston August ‘24.
He was so excited telling me about the concert. Until now I frankly couldn’t hear anything than a loud beating of drums in my head when listening to this band.
And suddenly something happened, it’s almost like being stroke be the lightning, I can’t get enough of their music.
I’m planning to go to the next concert Metallica with my husband and his buddies.

This is call a Rockstar. Thx James for every riff you made !

[chriscann]

It's so crazy watching him on VHS tapes being a child to this. Damn I feel old.

It's really somehow incredible to see this .. seems like such a private moment to James. And you clearly see the moment when he gets up and the vocalization starts in the song and he "switches" into his stage persona, encourages the fans around to sing along and starts the interaction with his tech/coach there. Really gets to me :)

Great video. Ecstasy Of Gold still gives me goosebumps after all these years. Got to see them at the Lyceum in 84 and few other times in the 80s, but Donington 85 with a big crowd, Ecstasy Of Gold was fuckin' amazing! Again, great video, this guy who is the same age as me is an international treasure.

finally a HD video in horizontal direction!

[vincegedeon]

They really love their fans! Amazing footage of James such a legend but they still get nervous after all these years because they are so passionate and don't want to screw up in font of zillions of people 💯

Одна вот эта подготовка Хэта к шоу практически равнозначна самому шоу по эмоциям. Потрясающе абсолютно.

Being able to watch James Hetfield get psyched for the gig looks an amazing experience

[Dedwood_]

I have spewed anticipation MANY TIMES listening to the Ecstasy of Gold.
Best intro EVER... 🤘

[temite]

Seems like a really genuine, humble and nice guy with true passion for what he does still. I like how real he is with the fans.

[EquineMetalhead]

I have nothing but nice things to say about this man. James Alan Hetfield is my idol. I love this man more than I love myself, he brings me so much joy when I’m sad and he always makes me laugh. He has an adorable giggle and a cute smile, he’s just a handsome guy with a kind soul. Very down to Earth man. God Bless James ❤🙏🏻

[HeilwieGesund]

[conallmclaughlin]

Still the best opening anthem.. Always brings the goosebumps
