He is never in the middle, that's what he means.

I love how Kirk and Robert are like, best friends.

It's funny, to me Rob still seems like the new guy, which he is the newest...but he's already been in the band 20 years, and is their longest tenured bassist.

@@rockerseven definitely a weird feeling to consider that, especially since Jason was there for all the milestones, including their first Grammy

Although he's been in the band for that long He hasn't bonded with them 100%. I think He enjoyed more his Suicidal / Infectious days although He makes more money with Metallica. He's definitely closer with Kirk.

He’s taking emotion drugs.

​@@stanknugget never know

@@stanknugget he's been sober for 9 years and comments like these are insensitive.

He’s always been this way lol it’s just how he is!

@@amber13666 Get out of here.

He got a new girlfriend too after his divorce. I'm sure that also made him happier

Also pounding a new woman will do it to ya ✌🏼

For James life is good rn and I’m really happy to see that for him

They're the band's cigars.

I'm pretty confident he's smoking the M81 metallica branded cigars, I own some and the best I can tell from the videos I've seen it looks like them. I saw one that still had the band around it and it looked like the M81 logo.

I dont know man. His setlists seem a bit stock.

19:27

I love James Hetfield anyway, but especially when he laughs

@Reffidex I was thinking of the exact same quote. It's a sad reality what Jason went through, because Metallica essentially became what Jason envisioned.

At $1000 for floor seats and then $900, $800 on the way back CROOKS please address this . I tried to see them in Canada and the tickets ..I couldn’t go ! What a SCAM BAND? Or come clean? It the most awful thing I’ve ever seen in music!!!’ You can love Metallica and still be honest

So am I unfortunately the ticket prices was so high we could not afford to go. Must be a rich mama band and I cannot believe no one from the Metallicas organization is addressing this. They know $1000 on the floor 6,7,800$ on the way back towards the back $350 on the sides COME ON…why are we ignoring this . Am I lucky to just see this interview. You have no idea how bad I wanted to see these guys and so what if I’m the only one with enough b@llz to say something..I’ll take the hit but someone had too !!!

@Reffidex Yah, that was like 100 years ago.

@@No_1_really_ remember that reps and stadiums charge these prices. the band can only have so much say. every band that speaks about prices could tell you. but don't forget that they also have a huge crew to pay. it isn't cheap. not to mention fees just to tour. the world got more expensive and so did their tickets

Who hates Kirk???😂

@@HANGRYJIMLODLIFEALWAYSLOD people who wanted Yngwie Malmsteeen in Metallica AHAHAHHAAH

Ye

100% true! Lars never gets the credit he’s due.

Great to see someone say this. It’s so true

Lars is the onle dummer that skip some of its part, kinda lazy

...and his money

I dunno... to me he's kinda stock.

Zane's always great! He's done some great interviews over the years with Queens of the Stone Age, Muse, Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and weezer as well

@@volutedmetal8543 im pretty sure Zane has also been interviewing Metallica for a LONG time. if im not mistaken im pretty sure he even makes an appearance in the beginnings of Some Kind of Monster. His chemistry with the band and the kinds of questions he can bounce of them are outstanding

@@swxtch5503 Next time I watch SKoM I will look for him, but you're right, he's interviewed them A LOT over the years.

Good interview but the interviewer was/is a tad over the top, imo.

Zane is the guy. Really knows his way around talking with all those musicans.

A shame he has to use the word god. Americanz. 😮

@@jurgencuypers8350oh god get over yourself

🤘🤘

*Thank Satan

G-od blessed the metal 🤘🏻

Really? He looks like he tries hard.

He left his wife 😂😂😂

He looks so much healthier now!

@@ClinicalDecisionYikesYT And? At least he isn't a committed deadbeat, which is much, much worse. Weird take, even as a troll.

​@IFID as do 40-50% of Americans, what's your point?

@@provisionalhypothesis why , I love the band but you cannot ignore the prices btw the same prices were in the US too

😂 Last Testament's record eats all Metallica's last records since 90ties

​@@No_1_really_That's a robbery of 4 Old guys on People... But You know they are Connected to the People. All for People Metallica's family 😂

@@No_1_really_ I fully agree with you and is the reason why I didn't go see them, but at the same time, if they put the ticket at 5000$ and it's sold out, why wouldn't they do it ? gotta be logical here

Same here, we chose well. I first heard them in 1985 as a 15 year old. My best friends (still my best friend) "punk buddy" played Am I Evil for us an was jumping all over his bedroom like a crazy person an I found my new favorite band. An they have been ever since. They feel like friends and or family now, I've never met any of them but that's how they feel to me. An they're bigger now than they've ever been, that has been crazy to see over all these years. First time I saw them was on the Damage Inc. Tour supporting their Master Of Puppets album. I saw them about 3 months after Cliffs passing. There was about 6k people at that show and when they come next it'll be 38 years after that show an they're playing two shows at a building that holds 72k fans for football. That is insane. They've just kept getting bigger an bigger. I don't know how they could possibly top this current tour but it won't surprise if they do somehow. It's really been cool to be one of their fans all these years. I just got tickets this morning for a show that won't be played until August of next year. I haven't saw them live since 2003. I'm really excited to see this next show, it'll be their biggest event they've ever done in Seattle. There's already a bunch of sold out sections in the stadium. I may even try to go the second night but I'll probably have to sit up high for that show, the tickets I got this morning were pretty expensive but I'll be close to the stage. So I'm happy, but I'll be happy just to be a part of it.

@@TerryT0114 nice!

He is the mastermind on all levels.

Lars has said that he almost has a photographic memory of things like that that are related to the band.

Amazing!

@@metalbrock57 Cool right? You can yell a city name and he knows the venue and usually the dates they were tehr

Because he looked it up not that long ago:)

I think he’s a better fit than Jason. I think Rob don’t want to impede on the threes direction, but I wish he would give his “2 cents” more often. He’s a humble happy guy.

And such a badass bassist!

@@jayyoutube8790 I think the same of Jason, if they would have let his 2 cents in more often and not buried him in the mix he would have really shined, guy was a phenomenal singer too. Rob is such a versatile player and has fit in perfectly since day one, honestly can't say anything bad about either of them.

Dude I was just about to comment the same thing. They look SO ready to hit the road. I gotta do everything in my power to see these cats when they hit the states.

@@mattdad8429 oh 1000% I haven't seen them since the Death Magnetic tour, gotta change that!

@@Greyhounder Same! DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?!

Totally! I loved that they just “hung out and talked”.... very nice

Zane Lowe is a very good interviewer and I’m glad he got to sit down with them 👍🏼

Yeah, I remember him at the very end of 1997, appearing on MTV's "Up for It", with Eddie Temple Morris. A good ol' live show, chatting to the camera in the vein of the absolute classic "Most Wanted" , with Ray Cokes from the early 90s. Then a coupla years later, Zane was hosting "Brand New", featuring the latest indie, rock videos. As you said mate, he comes across as a genuine fan , and manages natural conversation with insightful questioning. Be it Metallica or the recent Depeche Mode interview, he really is good.

I do think he acts a bit too much as a fan sometimes, I get it, its frigging Metallica, but I like interviewers to be more neutral.

something about him annoys me. I dont know what it is.

Dude bugs, he’s good but too much smoke blowin’

@@IASP17 he’s cringe and he’s a phony. Loves the sound of his voice and he is high on the smell of his own farts.

He’s a great interviewer

Justice blows this album out of the water if you want long songs LOL

​@@terrymunoztrujillo483 True, though Inamorata is their longest song by a fair bit.

​@@terrymunoztrujillo483 okay

There's an incredible album made up of all the closing songs of each Metallica album, all them are top ones

@@terrymunoztrujillo483Dang that really was comedic

See what light comes out from our collective darkness sounds like Metallica lyrics

Well said!

Good vibrations

Hes loco af

I just said the same thing out loud! I LOVE HIM!!

@@13panda13 he’s hilarious, too

Yes, it was! I am so happy I was part of that - thanks, guys!

For me it was the first show that was the standout lol

i liked the first even more ^^

He’s ‘ in love’ again. That makes life sweet.

Yeah they slid by on someone else’s riffs for a minute then phoned it in for decades 😂😂😂Lol 😂

​@@arcanesugar ⬅️ there is always that one....

​@Dana Blue Phantom Lord & Jump In The Fire ? And the Spider riff part from Ride The Lighting ? Yea they owe their success to Mustaine 😂

@@arcanesugar Mustaine, that you?

@@issacrodriguez91 I was going to say they owe their great songs to Cliff but yeah Dave wrote some greats as well

He is cringey af, who ru kidding?

I’ll be there too! My first time ever seeing them!🤘😎

@@jukeboxhero8137 sick, my first time too 🤘🏻

General Admission in a NFL football stadium will be a different story. You may stand 50 yards away from the stage and hardly see anything. Who knows

It was not really good. Many people complained. But hey, I waited 7 hours in line to be in front 😂.

@@Crepitom Does that 7 hours include watching the opening acts?

@@Lowrentfilms Yes, 13:00 in the line, 20:30 Metallica starts. Other acts 18-1830 and 19-20. This is with early acces. Normal admission waited i think from 11-12am in line
