[alastor]

"Metallica is getting Deep Purple in there"
James:
Love this man

[CoryMura]

James wanted a V because of Schenker.. i wanted an Explorer because of James!

[lilith]

I could listen to James talk for hours

[diller]

Someone out there has James’ old SG, and they’ll never know it was his first guitar

[FamilyGuyRoks]

Even after 30+ years of being in Metallica, James still has that Metal fanboy mentality that we all have, I love it!

[aneverflowingstream]

The explorer shape is seriously underrated. So badass

[mishkatrahman]

"The Explorers didn't do well at all"
Well James, you single handedly changed that. It's one of the most badass guitars any metalhead could ask for...

[Madzikri]

2:37 james: me exploring *whisper "explorer"

Man i love this guy

[metfanl]

Why is this barely 4 minutes long? I want a 40 minute version! :D

[multiestonian]

It's soo cool to see James get really excited when talking about his guitars. Wish this video was longer, but i'm still thankful for them posting this video. Thank you James's mother for buying your son a guitar, god bless you.

James at the beginning looks at camera like he's in The Office

[Jzjdjdjd]

He is one of the most sincere, humble and honest guitarist I have ever heard.

[chrisponce]

Watching videos like these is like hanging out with a good friend, it's very comforting. I think a lot of us see Metallica as family.

[maxhaarbosch]

the dad jokes in this video are amazing
"flip side", "exploring" and "getting deep purple"XD

[A_Final_Hit]

All respect in the world to James. The guy is legendary, god tier status, and he's still as humble as can be. 🤘🤘

[jaymz_rg]

I'll never understand why Lars stopped using the white with black hardware kit from the '89 Seattle show. It sounded so massive.

[erichaheidrich]

He is humble, he is down to earth. He still remembers what is it like being poor. He never forgot where he came from.

He is my hero.

[dronepro]

James is a very well-spoken intelligent man.

[kornfreak]

James has such a soothing voice. Could seriously listen to him talk for hours on end and not get tired of hearing it.
