1. He dissed their whole career
   F### him

2. what? that's what made them popular, they sold out after the black album, now they are just a bunch of rich old farts who forgot how to make good music….tssss disappointing

3. I think he’s referring to the bickering and fighting that went on between the band members. All the stuff that came to light in the Some Kind of Monster documentary

4. Kirk sits down to pee.

5. Oh zip it Kirk 🙄 starting to lose respect for him. Latching onto to media buzz words/phrases. Really enjoyed an interview with him done by another media outlet, don't recall which, but with this…now questioning my initial impression.

6. Yeah Wammett if you say so. Good luck out there Mr napster. Anybody want a recased and justice for all tape?

7. Cringe af

8. It's like Kirk forgot what genre of music he's playing.

9. I love Metallica they're my favorite band I love James but this apology was so unnecessary or whatever it was, they were not being "toxic masculine" they were just being young guys doing their thing
   And they were so god damn cool

10. Well maybe at there new concerts they can have 🌈 and Sprinkles and My Little Pony at them from now on 😂 😂 😂 😂

11. What a load of bull

12. When someone speaks about “toxic masculinity” they lost my respect. Kirk is an awesome lead, but he seems like a guy who would raise his son to play with dolls. No thanks Mr. Woke.

13. Dude he didn't say 'toxic masculinity' which is a feminist buzzword. Doubt we'll be seeing him in the next slutwalk. Stop pushing a fake narrative for clicks

14. Ok Kirk will you banned mosh pits around the world and does this mean you will not play any songs Kill Em All or Ride The Lighting or Hotwired or the Masculine titled Load album LoL Can Jim Brewer still make Masculine jokes about Snowflaketalika I mean Metallica Hey can I get my money back for being a fan for 38 years and being in a mosh pit at Day on the Green years ago or when you played with The Cult and Queensryche many moons ago is The 3 minute song for TIK TOK generation guest I wasted my time living and loving Metallica just like Star Wars saga became Woke Kirk and Lars are making Metallica Woke. I don't blame James and Robert for this Nonsense. Thanks for nothing Kirk.

15. This is disappointing.

16. Good lord. They are not Metallica anymore. They’re like KISS now. Retire already!!

17. Masculinity isn't toxic.

18. well that not exciting

19. He is conflating masculinity with degeneracy

20. Masculinity isn't something I associate with Kirk toxic or otherwise

21. What Kirk said is the dumbest crap I've heard in a while. Your in metal, the music that celebrates masculinity. Not the California view on it

22. Kirk and Lars are far from masculine

23. There’s nothing manly about Kirk hammmett. That old lady needs a talk show or something.

24. Everyone making fun of kirk and calling him whiney is just proving his point 🤷‍♀️

25. Wtf? James Cameron spewing whis drivel and now Kirk Hammet? These poor bastards spent too much time in Hollywood

26. There's no toxic masculinity or toxic feminity, there's just toxic behaviours.

27. At the age of the band it's a bottle of low-T masculinity

28. Shadow Projection Vomits toxic soy milkshake

29. Not you too, Kirk 😩

30. People in the comments being pissed about this while not realizing that they're literally proving Kirk's point lol
    But fr, as someone who has a lot of knowledge in this topic, toxic masculinity is NOT regular masculinity. It's the desire men have to be as alpha and strong and tough and emotionless as they possibly can, to fit the social standards of "masculinity". What Kirk is basically implying is that there is nothing wrong with men having a so called "feminine" side by the way they dress, like Kirk does by for example painting his nails or when he used to wear eyeliner. And everyone who considers this a bad thing is surely one of these Metal boomers that are convinced there hasn't been any good Metal music since the 80s lol that's just embarrassing, catch up with the times yall.

31. I'm a woman who likes metal. I don't see metal music as toxic but I do see the wussification of things as toxic. I like songs that lull you peacefully in and then punches you straight in the ears with thrash like Fight Fire With Fire and Battery. I don't like wussy crap like Justin Bieber. That's not what I came to hear when I go to a metal concert. I came for the METAL. m/

32. Kirk hammet doesn't deserve to be in the biggest most known metal band in the world! Especially after saying something so dumb. Hey Kirk your toxic feminism is showing. And well Kirk , your wife called me and said she wants her nuts back

33. Kirk Hammet is the most female looking out of them all and is the least masculine out of all of the metal bands and even more than the glam metal bands 2 not even joking either thats the sad but true part.
    ………..

    ….

    …..
    …
    …
    ..
    But Its time to come out of the closet Kirk! Even the glam metal bands are more manly then you duddet and crush more manholes then you Kirk you only pinned the holes of 200k dudes manholes 2hile all the glam metal bands only nailed 195k

34. Funny. There’s nothing masculine about Kirk. What would he know?

35. Kirk Hammet makes me not like Metallica what a beta liberal douche

36. It's funny that when y'all's favorite guitar guy says hes sick of his behavior, his fans turn and start to look like what's going on in the comments section here. When a person who IS toxic is called out, they double down. It's the accountability that matters. Good on Kirk

37. So??? If I were deployed as a Marine I'd probably be listening to Metallica before going on patrol, just like some Marines before me listened to Hendrix or The Stones.

38. So it's confirmed that Kirk does indeed pee sitting down.

39. Oh wtf Kirk, I listened to Metallica for pretty much 28 years of my 27 year old life. My parents listened to Metallica before I was even born, it played a big part of my fixing my anger issues as I grew up. Don't pander to new age feminism its a dead end that will loss that connection from you to your fans

40. In regards to the comment on 72 seasons. Lars was only with his dad who looks like a over lord from Satan and James dad was not around.

41. How to say you've been living in San Francisco too long, without actually saying you've been living in San Francisco too long

42. Ł¤|

43. Long live "Toxic" Masculinity!!!

44. “Stoicism” can be harmful if it’s the only acceptable form of handling one’s feelings, causing an inability to let out one’s emotions. In “toxic masculinity” boys and men are not allowed, nor encouraged to show their feelings, such displays of emotion are often labeled “weak” in our society. This leads to a “bottling up” effect, whereby natural emotions are internalized, and compressed until a breaking point is reached, at which time said feelings and emotions can erupt outward in the form of misdirected anger and/or patterns of destruction.

45. Wtf, Kirk?! Aggression channeled into something productive is not toxic. An aggressive kickass riff is not toxic. Please don’t make me rip up my snake pit tickets; they cost me a lot of money.

46. Kirk is a girly boy. Heavy Metal music is all about manliness
