2004-12-20 - James Hetfield falou recentemente para a revista Rolling Stone, acerca do tour e sobre o manter-se sóbrio.

Rolling Stone: Do you feel different on the road now?

James Hetfield: Totally — also scared that maybe this environment is not the best thing for me anymore. But the music's the main thing, instead of drinking and strip clubs [laughs]. And doing five shows a week for three months straight — that's not going to happen anymore. If my throat was hurtin' and I couldn't perform my best, I would resent the others. I couldn't tell them, "Hey, this is too much." I'd look like the wimp.

Rolling Stone: Indestructibility is a big part of your aura.

James Hetfield: I struggle with the intimidation factor: "He's unapproachable. He might explode at any point." I learned that from my dad. You never knew what was going on inside. It's a great tool — to not have to talk with anyone or let them in on the craziness in my head. Because there's no way they would like me once they heard what I had in there. But after you get it out and diffuse your fears, you feel more comfortable.

Rolling Stone: Describe your post-"Monster" friendship with Lars [Ulrich].

James Hetfield: It's not like we've laid down the weapons. We're both driven and can be very childish about it. We have control issues: I want to drive. He wants to drive. And there's only one steering wheel most of the time.

Rolling Stone: Would you recommend group therapy to other bands?

James Hetfield: Two hours of session before going in to jam every day — when METALLICA do something, we do it all the way. I would recommend it for other bands if they think it would help. But if you think, "I don't need that crap," then you probably do.

Rolling Stone: Did you ever see the final bill?

James Hetfield: The final bill? [Laughs] It was up there.

2004-12-13 - Pena de Morte para Troy Kunkle, que depois de um ultimo recurso ao colectivo de Juizes no Texas viu o seu apelo ser diferido. Este gaijo, à 20 anos atras matou uma pessoa de 31 anos para lhe roubar $13 USD. Enquanto isso ele cantava o verso da musica No Remorse - Kill Em All - "Another day, another death, another sorrow, another breath.". O advogado de defesa queria usar a teoria que foi a letra do James Hetfield que levou esta alma a cometer este pecado capital.

2004-12-12 - Dave Mustaine pede desculpas a METALLICA e a SLAYER (ja parece o perdoa-me)

Numa mensagem colocada no forum do site dos Megadeth, Dave Mustaine escreve:

"Droogies!

"Tonight I had the honor and priveledge to host a special [MTV2 'Headbanger's Ball'] tribute to the life of Darrel 'Dimebag' Abbott.

"I went out to NYC Thursday at 9:30 PM on a redeye to do this, and during the period since then, I have had a good amount of time to reflect on my own life.
"I realized how fortunate I am, and have been to have met some of you, and in some cases become friends with many of you.

"What is bothering me is the people who I have not been able to meet, or worse, have met and ended up not being friends with. There are many.

"I would like to, in honor of Darrel's life, learn from him and how many friends he apparently had made.

"Over my career I have a lot of cleaning up to do on my side of the street as well as letting things go, for once and for all; I need to apologize to many people and also to forgive and quit holding grudges.

"Having said that, if there is something I did to you or someone you know, please give me the opportunity to make this right.

"To SLAYER and METALLICA: I am sorry for whatever I may have done in the past and wish to make it right, to put it behind us. Please let me know how and when we can talk this out.

"To previous bandmembers and managers: I say the same to you.

"To all the MEGADETH/METALLICA fans: from this day forward, there will never be another unkind word from my mouth perpetuating this silly 22-year-old feud.

"And to heavy metal fans around the world: I am going to emulate Dimebag by being more like him; more friendly, and more interested in your lives too, I promise.

"I am grateful to have been asked to come in this hour of darkness to represent us all as we come together and heal as a worldwide music community, and I would be a fraud if I didn't say I need to do more to better represent.

"Thank you in advance for your forgiveness and for your support."

2004-12-07 - James "Munky" Shaffer (guitarrista dos Korn) revelou que o melhor concerto do ano foi o European Tour com os Metallica e Slipknot. Vejam o comentario dele acerca dos Deuses "Before METALLICA goes on, they have a jam room. They set up their stuff and before each show, they go in and warm up. Well, they're in there for two hours before they went on. They walk out, they're wiping sweat off of their face, and they go straight to the stage and play for two-and-a-half hours. Now that's really inspiring. And that, you know, made us look at ourselves and go, 'Wow, we need to practice!'

2004-12-07 - James Hetfield e Ozzy Osbourne revelaram à revista Rolling Stone o seu "Top Ten Greatest Songs Of All Time".

Aqui ficam as suas escolhas:

James Hetfield (METALLICA)

01. "Free Bird – LYNYRD SKYNYRD

James Hetfield: "Nothing tops this workingman's ballad. 'Free Bird' fit my life for the first 20 years on the road — not really getting too attached to stuff, living life for the moment and moving on."

02. "Stairway to Heaven" – LED ZEPPELIN

James Hetfield: "When I first got a guitar, I figured out the first couple of fingerings to this, and I ran around the house saying, 'Check it out — I can play this!' My family was like, 'Where's the rest of the song?'"

03. "Jailhouse Rock" – ELVIS PRESLEY

James Hetfield: "I remember seeing that video of him jumping around behind bars with all his buddies. It encapsulates rebellion, which is really just misguided creativity."

04. "Behind Blue Eyes" – THE WHO

James Hetfield: "This song had all that teen angst bubbling under it. It's about asking for help but not really wanting it. Reminds me a lot of me."

05. "Candle in the Wind" – ELTON JOHN

James Hetfield: "'Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting' was more my style, but few songs can top this melody."

06. "God Only Knows" – THE BEACH BOYS

James Hetfield: "I got on a BEACH BOYS kick again about six months ago. I gew up in Southern California; to me, this songs speaks to a higher power."

07. "Yesterday" – THE BEATLES

James Hetfield: "It instantly connected with me. It makes you think, but not too gard."

08. "Black Sabbath" – BLACK SABBATH

James Hetfield: "This song scared the shit out of me. It's beyond heavy."

09. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" – NIRVANA

James Hetfield: "When all that Eighthies hair metal was getting overproduced, NIRVANA came along with this thrashy garage sound and a huge hook. It was what music needed."

10. "The Boys Are Back In Town" – THIN LIZZY

James Hetfield: "Phil Lynott was never afraid to write from the heart, even if it was a little corny. THIN LIZY inspired a lot of METALLICA's guitar harmonies."
