Does James Hetfield and Axl hate each other?

[MikeB]

A friend told me when they were on tour in the early 90's when Axl was backstage,James made fun of him because he was warming his voice up before they would play. I heard also another time James said"that faggot probably needs his mother to chop his food into tiny pieces to fit down his skinny throat." Can someone here tell me the story better?

[GNR - CROATIA]

After all he did and said about Metallica..
Probably nothing more or less than anyone else or any of us hates him...
His fault.
He always tried to the biggest possible d..k to everyone.
Poser!

Oh fuck James Hetfield. I love Metallicas music and respect Hetfield but this prick always had a bug up his ass about Axl. Fuck him and the some kind of monster documentary, Two boring hours of James in AA, Lars in his underwear and constructing the final nail in Metallicas coffin "St.Anger"   

[N.I.B]

Oh fuck James Hetfield.

why? because he blasphemed against your messiah, Axl?

I hate when people do that. "fuck hetfield he saiud axls a dick" lets face it, axl is a dick. a great frontman and rock and roll star, but nevertheless a dick. i respect axl as much as any other man, but face reality people. dont bash hetfield because he made a comment on someone u dont even know

The only reason Hetfield hates Axl is because GNR blew them off the stage every night.

U couldn't be more wrong & i'm not even really much of a Metallica fan. I think the reason all these other people from the music industry loathe botaxl so much is because they've seen first hand what a little bitch he is. Axl Rose got pretty lame after about 1989 to most of the rationally thinking world.

[jameslofton29]

Actually, I couldn't be more right. Lars wanted GNR to open for Metallica in the 80's, but the other members weren't too fond of the idea. Why? Because GNR was the best thing around, and the last thing you want as a headliner is the opening act blowing you off the stage. In 92, they decided to do a 'co-headlining' tour. GNR consistently blew them off the stage every night. Ask anyone who went.

i hurd Hetfield didnt like Axl becuz Axl invaded privacy

Too damn right buddy

Fuck Hetfield period. Im sorry but I hate when someone on this board attacks someone whom js so happens to have offended Axl, automatically some dickhead assumes they're an Axl lover. No fuck Hetfield because he shouldve spent less time worrying about what the fuck Axl was doing and more time paying attention to where the fuck he was on stage and maybe he wouldnt have gotten his dumb one-octive singing ass burned. Fuck him because the last 3 Metallica albums blew. Fuck him because some kind of monster was a waste of 2 hrs out of the lives of many many people, fuck him period.

And by the way, I dont see how warming up his voice qualifies Axl as being a dick. Dont bash someone whom YOU DONT EVEN KNOW. 

[jameslofton29]

Twisted, you make a good point. I dont remember the whole story behind it cause its been so many years, but I remember an article discussing that tour, and Hetfield was obsessed with Axl. Backstage, it was always 'Axl this, Axl that'. Pathetic. Metallica were HUGE back then, why was he concentrating on Axl? If you've heard various Metallica bootlegs over their career, you'll notice the drop in quality of Metallica's performances on that tour. Hetfield must have suffered stage fright from performing right before Axl. Alot of people dont agree with me on this, but I think their song 'The Memory Remains' is a big fuck you to Axl. I like the song, I thought it was about Axl the first time I heard it, but that was when I started losing what little respect I still had for them. I wouldn't be surprised if Axl had a 'Get in the Ring' style song about Metallica on CD.

These messages are funny to read. You're like a bunch of whiny teeny boppers.

Metallica toured with GN'R, so if James Hetfield happens to not like Axl, I think he knows his reasons better than anyone here on this board.

I find it silly that people are saying "fuck James Hetfield" simply because he had some things to
say about Axl. To quote Metallica's cover song - "so f**king what!?!"

[gnrfan420]

i agree Jamez had every right to say what he wanted about Axl, hell alot of people have talked shit about Axl we dont know the whole story behind wehat happend between MetallicA and Guns N' Roses,  im a huge fan of both the bands but im takin Jamez's side on this one based on what i heard and what i know let's face it Axl is not the easiest guy in the world to work with

[usurper]

James was bitching about Axl's backstage demands, which was only a page long, but the Metallica demands for a show are over 24 pages, some of them insurance (why insurance?)

[gnrfan420]

they wanted to be covered on insurance for what had happened in Montreal and  they did not want that to happen again

[Genesis]

some of them insurance (why insurance?)

They're chicken shit, that's why... Bitchin' about music on the internet, blah blah blah...

[gnrfan420]

if you had great music and people were taking your music off the internet and you were not making any money off it wouldin't you do something about it? at first i was pissed too i talked shit about MetallicA but after thinking about they had every right to do what they did.but i think the reason that hatfield did not get along with axl is because axl is a dick and is pretty impossible to work with in fact all prima donnas are impossible to work with

[metallex78]

Downloading illegal mp3's is still stealing even if you don't think so. They had every right to defend what's theirs.

Do you work for free?

[Twisted Nerve 85]

Again Im not saying fuck Hetfield because of what he said about Axl, its the idea of people not keeping their focus where it should be

Ive already explained why I said fuck James Hetfield, After the black album that band sank. And by the way James Lofton I do think "The Memory Remains" is about Axl.

Fuck Axl too, He was the same way, maybe if he had paid more attention to the input of his band memebers then Slash, Duff, and Matt wouldnt have up and quit. And the GnR we all know and love would most likely be up and running today.

Take whomevers side you want, but Hetfield making comments about a dude behind his back because he was warming up his throat, thats punk shit. I dont care who it was he was making those comments about, if uve got a greivance against someone say it to their face and let it be known.

And as for the internet piracy Napster issue. Metallica were absolutely right in their decision to sue. However it was really bad timing considering so many people were bitter about Metallicas new sound and were calling them sellouts. Not saying they shouldve waited, or not done anything. Its js a set circumstances that made Metallica look bad at the time. Looking back at it, people who were bashing Metallica for going against Napster probably get where they were coming from now.

i hate axl to. give us chinese democracy you dick head
