James has always been a car guy and shares his car journey to one of the coolest custom car collections around. Hetfield, has described seeing cars in the same way he sees music: as forms of freedom and expression that convey the passions of their creator. Best known as a co-founder, songwriter, singer, and guitarist for the heavy metal band Metallica, James Hetfield has also gained recognition in the automotive world for his unique collection of entirely bespoke vehicles. While the vast majority of collectors acquire vehicles by purchasing pre-existing examples, Hetfield elected instead to build his from scratch, channeling creativity often reserved for his music into the production of rolling sculptures.

"I'm a dad, husband, I am a singer and guitar player for a band called Metallica...". This statement speaks volumes.
The fact that James can look fondly back at memories of a father that left says a lot about him as a person
“A band called Metallica.” what a fucking legend.
I'll watch anything with James Hetfield in it.
I can't believe how much he's aged over the last 10 years...scary. Then again, I was 17 when I discovered Metallica, and now Im 50...how did that happen?
James is such a well spoken man. I'm happy he was able to overcome those horrible events in his childhood. My respect for him is ever growing.
0:55 He said “A band called Metallica” as if they’re were a small not famous band
The 100's of hours I have spent working on cars with Metallica playing in the garage....
It's interesting learning about the human side of rock gods.
Why the hell did they not play ‘Fuel’ in the background
It would be cool if there was a Tv show "Papa Hets Restaurtions" ,or smthng like that
I’m obsessed with cars and Metallica so this is epic.
I don’t think James and his western fans know how many Metallica fans are in a tiny country called Nepal 🇳🇵 . I spent all my teenage years rocking out to Metallica with my buddies in Nepal 🇳🇵.
This dude is the most badass frontman in Metal history. His riffs, his melodies, his voice, are all legendary!!!
I love that every time I see Hetfield introduce himself he says "I'm in a band called Metallica". It makes him sound genuinely humble to me.
This mentality that James talks about here is the reason why he, and Metallica, will ALWAYS be inspiring! ❤️🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽☠️✊🏿
Im mexican, so english isn't my first lenguage, but the way James talks is super clear and helps a lot to learn it
I’m 50 years old and been listening to Metallica forever it seems and the older I get the more I respect James.
I just love listening to him talk. Explains his song writing. He’s such a great story teller. He engages you and takes you into his world.
Hetfield is so insanely cool, he looks like he could be in gta v with all these cars
