Video: James Hetfield opens up about Metallica’s career

The 4 horsemen are back with their spanking new album Hardwired… To Self Destruct. To celebrate their return, Metallica traveled to Europe last November so we jumped on the chance for a one-on-one with James Hetfield.

Hetfield was very relaxed and friendly when we met. He chatted about the band’s good health, their upcoming tour and spoke candidly about Lemmy’s death and its effect on their music. After years of battling the internet, Hetfield also explained how the band have learned to move with the times and are now at peace with their place in both the metal world and the music industry.
