James Hetfield's response to this question is brilliant. Being and staying grateful for what you have is what makes you feel comfortable in all parts of your life.

James Hetfield is a great human being and one of the biggest rockstars that ever lived.

Tell me thats not James Hetfield.

That quote is pure wisdom from the great James Hetfield, "Papa Het" of Metallica himself 🤘🔥 It's a life philosophy that goes far beyond metal. 🤔 Fun Fact: James is a man of very specific objects. It's been reported his mic stand sometimes holds an ashtray/cigar holder or a custom Yeti cup holder, but he also loves beekeeping and makes his own homemade honey to gift to friends and crew! That's his "object" of peace and gratitude! Did you know? 🤯

Best Metal / Rock Band in History. The only act from the 80's worthwhile and still kicking ass. These guys changed my life, gave me a reason for living, and watching them live reinvigorates you and makes you appreciate them all over again.

I miss Napster.

It was AWESOME. The first time I saw Metallica, they played with Van Halen at the Monsters of Rock festival in Akron, Ohio, on June 22 and 23, 1988, at the Rubber Bowl. The concert was a two-day, sold-out event that featured Van Halen headlining, along with Scorpions, Dokken, Metallica, and Kingdom Come.

It's nice to see a celebrity being humble and grateful. James is a helluva guy, and he has been through it all. Long live Metallica! Thanks for posting this, it was great.

Being grateful... 💯

That’s awesome. What a legacy!

looks like he is MUCH more emotionally intelligent than when they made the documentary years ago

He said the thing that strikes most true for old Metal Heads "Family" Metallica an Iron Maiden it was the Fans "Family" that made them. Been to both many times and it was just that a Family affair.

Rockstar wisdom.

Oh gawd enough of these 'how-hard-is-it-to-be-a-rich-and-famous-rock-star?' questions.

He is a decent man, who is full of wisdom......

Awesome! You guys have been a blessing.

musicians get fueled by the energy that the audience gives It's crazy how you can actually feel the electric vibe on stage Its that energy that keeps you going It's a full circle moment you're on stage performing & the crowd is feeding you strength with their cheers & applause

Was never much of a fan other than a few songs but always thought other than that pussy bitch Lars, the band was pretty hard core and loved the gig and gave it all. (Lars did too but he's a pussy bitch)

I’ve seen them three times in my life. At one show, toward the end, this happened—and it felt like it was meant just for me. James Hetfield said goodnight, the lights went out, and the band walked off stage. People started leaving, but I knew they were coming back for one last song. Then the lights came back on. There they were, standing on-stage, talking to the crowd and asking what they should play. I was in the third row. James looked right at me, and I yelled as loud as I could, “Stone Cold Crazy!” He gave a nod and what looked like a thumbs-up—bam—they launched into it and absolutely killed it. The crowd went insane! It was amazing—the best concert experience of my life!

Is James morphing into the Cowardly Lion?

What a guy. One of the good ones.

❤️ @metalpina76

He's got it figured out. Good for him, and great fckn answer. Got to see them in 86. They were amazing

James is one of my all time heroes. I’ve loved Metallica all my life and it has created so many memories with my Dad seeing them 6 times over the years. There music has always spoke to me in so many ways. They mean a lot to me.

A humble, beautiful man...♥️🙏

Wise man!

Now he has a gold plated shark tank.

Super eloquent. That's awesome.

the irony

Everyone loves James Hetfield

Yeah that’s so hard to do when your insanely wealthy. Shut up.

🖤

Great Guy There 🙌❤️

A sincerely grounded and talented individual. How refreshing!
