      Because he is a quite smart person and true to himself no matter what. Acting and talking like a rock star would've been pretentious for him. Don't forget he grew up as a musician in an era when bands like Poison had this poser attitude and MetallicA has always been on the opposite side of that.

    He'll always be the best frontman in Metal to me.

And he's what keeps Metallica together. They'd be finished without him. Yeah, top guy! 🤘🏻😎

      You're right. I know that Lars comes over like an ass sometimes and many times people are in the right when they diss him because of that. But in a recent interview here on youtube by 'q on cbc' he was serious and pleasant. Just like James is in this interview. I guess it is true; older and wiser.

    She's a good interviewer. You can tell she is genuinely interested in what James is saying.

    Possibly the hugest inspiration in my life . I feel I know him, but I don’t. If I could say something to him....... it would be thank you! Because he’s real. And genuine, and honest! He’s why I believe in rehab, and heavy Metal. Metallica made my life better.
