1
James Hetfield, 14-year-old me, is freaking out right now.
2
Welcome to the project.
3
Hey, Waleed, how are you?
4
Hey, just before we get into this, before we started, I saw you drinking what looked like tea
5
out of the last receptacle I expected James Hetfield to be drinking from.
6
Can you show us that?
7
It's coffee.
8
Yeah, I should be drinking out of an old boot, right?
9
Yes.
10
That's more my thing.
11
Yes, or something that you smash on someone else's head or something.
12
Like, please.
13
Metallica's impact on music is undeniable.
14
This is one of the best songs ever written to me.
15
I mean, it's a song that never gets old.
16
And enduring, as proven by the drop of their 12th studio album, 72 Seasons.
17
Well, congratulations on this album.
18
It's your 12th studio album, 72 Seasons.
19
What's it like releasing an album now compared to when you're starting out?
20
Well, it's still like giving birth, you know, to a baby.
21
You know, it's a big, exciting event.
22
You know, this is what comes from our souls and this is what we get to create.
23
So anytime you're creating something and you're releasing it, the excitement is always still there.
24
And, you know, we're doing our best at this age still.
25
Do you get nervous about people's...
26
I mean, like, this is Metallica.
27
Surely you could release, I don't know, an album of you sneezing or something, and it would be enormous.
28
Oh, you heard that one?
29
We did a fart one.
30
Yeah.
31
Fart Christmas album.
32
No, you know, we care.
33
We care a lot, you know, about what we put out.
34
And I don't know, we want to put out what we feel is our best.
35
They set that bar high from the beginning along with Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer Metallica are credited as the original big four of thrash.
36
It's pretty epic when you think about it what's it like being credited with inventing a genre?
37
I'd love to take credit for it but it was just how it worked out.
38
We were playing music that we wanted to hear as simple as that.
39
People don't understand how important things are in the moment
40
when you're doing them until later on which is great because
41
if we thought it was
42
that important we would have screwed it up yeah you just
43
gotta let it flow yeah right people say a lot
44
that rock is dead and I can kind of say
45
that argument but
46
but metal definitely isn't why what do you think special about
47
metal gosh it's it's a misfit music it's an underground feeling
48
still it's like a rebel music it's a thing you need to fight for you You know, every decade, yeah, rock is dead.
49
That is fuel for a hard rock band, absolutely.
50
There's a lovely moment recently where Elton John surprised you
51
by saying that Nothing Else Matters is one of the best songs that's ever been written.
52
What did that mean, that sort of stamp of approval?
53
Well, Elton John, he's...
54
He's quite an entity.
55
He's quite a musical force.
56
And he's written some amazing melodies, some classic songs that live in my heart.
57
And for him to say that nothing else matters is one of the best songs written just...
58
You know, it brought me to tears, really.
59
For him to say something like that, it nourished my soul right then and there.
60
Also, one of the few Metallica songs where you get to play a solo, I mean, was that really the secret?
61
Should that have happened a lot more?
62
Should you have elbowed Kirk and said, Hey, mate, you're getting in the way here.
63
Yeah.
64
Well, then he'll ask to sing.
65
So then there might be a whole other issue.
66
But I'm not great at doing solos.
67
I'm really good at melody.
68
All of the harmony stuff that's on the album, that is my writing and playing.
69
Kirk is fantastic at ripping.
70
His nickname's the Ripper, so he can do that.
71
I can't.
72
Kirk's a bit of a show-off though, isn't he?
73
No, you know what?
74
He's pretty grounded.
75
He's a pretty regular guy.
76
But he likes his fashion.
77
There's sparkly things showing up more and more.
78
Like bedazzling.
79
Your vans are bedazzled.
80
I don't think I expected ever to hear the word bedazzled in a conversation about Metallica.
81
That's quite something.
82
I think you might be the only band who played on every continent.
83
You did this in a calendar year.
84
I mean, talk me through the Antarctica gig.
85
How did your fingers work?
86
Not any better than they usually work really.
87
It was a fantastic experience.
88
All that started with my son being obsessed with the Guinness Book of World Records, you know?
89
Looking through there and I'm thinking, how do I get in there to impress my son, you know?
90
And it was fantastic.
91
Brought my kids, they definitely got A's in science when they got home.
92
Bringing rocks to their science teacher, you know?
93
It was a joy for everyone involved.
94
That is the best show and tell Yeah, yeah.
95
I brought this rod from Antarctica.
96
Yeah, here's some penguin bones, you know.
97
I love that you went for penguin bones.
98
That's like the most metal thing you could have gone for in the context of Antarctica.
99
Absolutely.
100
We saw them, they were scattered all over the place.
101
The seals love to grab them and just shake them and they tear their skin off.
102
That sounds like a Metallica film clip of the future, that.
103
I'll tell you that.
104
That should have been the cover of whatever we put out next.
105
Yeah.
106
Can you indulge me with one thing?
107
Because I'm here, I'm interviewing James Hetfield, and one of my favorite things that you ever do in all your songs is when you go, yeah!
108
Yeah!
109
Yeah!
110
Yeah!
111
Yeah!
112
And I just think it's so...
113
No one else can, yeah!
114
Like you.
115
Would you give me one?
116
Okay.
117
Yeah!
118
Oh, yeah!
119
Yeah.
120
That's because I ran out of words, all right?
121
But it needs a little something.
122
I don't know.
123
It's just a percussive growl.
124
It's great.
125
I don't know where it comes from.
126
I don't know how you summon it, but it really works everywhere, even Antarctica.
127
Congratulations on the album.
128
I've no doubt there'll be many more.
129
And maybe we'll get a chance to speak again on those occasions.
130
But thanks so much for speaking to us.
131
Thank you. That was so great.
132
It was so great watching you watch that, because you were just like watching it with dreamy eyes.
133
As soon as I see those guitars come out on theirs.
134
That's the album.
135
What a great cover, by the way.
136
Amazing.
137
It's called 72 Seasons.
138
It's out everywhere now.
このレッスンについて
「Metallica's James Hetfield On How It Felt To Invent A Genre Of Music」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。
毎日15〜30分の練習で、IELTSスピーキングへの自信と実践的な英会話力が身につきます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
