James Hetfield

James Hetfield in 1989

I became aware of James Hetfield at an early age, when discovering Metallica on the seat of my dad's truck. After finding Metallica, I got on the computer and just studied them. A few years after I somewhat forgot about Metallica. Then I was told by my father we got tickets to see them live, 5 months prior, I got the whole discography, and now I know everything about them. And I am deeply moved by their story, and how James and Metallica came to be such monsters in music.

I love the way James Hetfield approaches things, with a smile on his face, looking for fun, but at the same time, very intelligent with his decision making. I also love his stage presence. It is so powerful, along with his voice.

Pass high school first and foremost. College will be optional. If I have a band after high school, I will pursuit that first. Become a world renown guitar player, in a successful metal band.
