James Hetfield Doesn’t Think Metallica is Very Good

38 thoughts on “James Hetfield Doesn’t Think Metallica is Very Good”

1. Natural musicians like the metallica dudes always outperform academic, technical musicians. I think James was saying they're not technical musicians (not good in that sense)……and that is a damn good thing, cos I've never known any technical musicians who can write and perform with soul. A textbook can't make you a natural musician….it's a gift from God.

2. I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

3. They're overrated but not average they are corny though

4. Rob is stellar but his playing is wasted in Metallica, compare it to his bass work with SxTx. Ulrich and Hammett are sh1te though.

5. Breaking news: Water is wet! 🤯😯

6. Metallica have been very successful but musically Megadeth is better. They just are. And I Love Metallica.

7. Write better songs. That will cure all of of you and this fans depression

8. Knowing that you are average makes you better than 99% of players out there.

9. Metallica isn’t average. They suck.

10. He's being self or more accurately group deprecating as he's found the power of humility. Stage fright? He evolved into literally one of the greatest front men of all time. I guess the hurdles are just that. Maybe that's his message?

11. Robert trujillo is more than a average bass player

12. Me neither.

13. well i think it was a bit shitty from james not to reply for dave's wholesome message

14. Metallica is the best metal band and Who gives a shit about skills? music isn’t a competition of skills. If it was I can assure metal wouldn’t be on top of the list of skills. If that was the case than jazz and prog music would win Everytime. A lot of young metal heads think metal is the apex of technical skill and speed but they’re just young grasshoppers lol.

15. I hope James realizes every band fucks up live sometimes. And honestly every human fucks up. No one is perfect.

16. They have been below average since 1992.

17. He is correct except Lars is far below average for a professional.

18. Metallica hasn't been good since 1987, they need new ideas which means to shoot up and form new bands. No disrespect just being honest, Van Halen did it and it worked out great for both

19. Obviously.. This band is not very good at all

20. The majority of the genre they're in and helped create, the musicians have extremely high technical skill and little to no recognition, so of course they're not as good. They're up against metal bands that surpassed their skills back then! Not to say they're aren't great musicians. I believe many metal musicians are already in the top tier of musicianship. I've never seen someone play like those guys from rings of Saturn or necrophagist…

21. James is a good rhythm player, Lars is a descent drummer, Trujillo might as well not be in the band, but Kirk is awful

22. He’s always been modest, all 4 of them are in the absolute elite of what they do.

23. James….. get out of your head. You guys ROCK. Dont be so hard of yourself. Everyone loves Metallica. Your music fuels me. I feel very blessed to have there music in my life

24. Robert : "Hold my beer"

25. He is 100% right. The new songs are AWFUL!

26. No shit

27. They’re meant to be in a band together . They create magic . I was about 9 my first fav metal band 🤘

28. I agree

29. You know, Hetfield is helping us by saying he screws up too. Thank You!!

30. Why is Dave Mustaine still harping about stuff all these years later…

31. Yeah they are no megadeth…that's for sure.

32. Good guy Dave Mustaine

33. Already making up excuses as to why its gonna be dogshit.

34. James's just keeping his humble at the end of the it is not a Metallica's nature to be boastful and me personally they're way better than average but anywho they will remain and grateful because those are the type of men musician and artist that they arethey can give a s*** less about bragging rights hi-5 Metallica

35. If you can get up on stage and play for 2 hours the way these guys play and nail those chords, notes, timing, etc. There's nothing average about these guys.

36. Metallica IS the Elvis Presley of Metal!

37. He's spot on

38. Can’t blame James for not feeling the need to respond to Dave, because he’ll probably trash them again in another interview next week😂😂
