•James: My favorite piece that I only use in the studio is a formerly white, now yellow Explorer. But I will never part with it again. Very simple, because this is the guitar on which I found my sound.And then this shape! The explorer shape simply suits me best.

THRASHERS BY NAME -- STREET PUNK-METAL ASSASSINS IN ATTITUDE.
PIC(S) INFO: Mega-spotlight on late, great bassist Cliff Burton and rhythm guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield of American thrash metal band METALLICA, performing live at the Breaking Sound Festival at Le Bourget Airport outside of Paris, France, on August 29, 1984. 📸: Pete Cronin (I believe he took all of these).
Man, these took a while to track down, and I'll bet there's even more out there that probably haven't even been published yet. I also had to double-check that they were all different, too, seeing as they're multiple shots of just Cliff & James. Stay HEAVY!!

This picture was in my Revolver Magazine Spring 2023 Metallica Issue I ordered back in April. It made me so happy because I’ve never seen it before! Thought I’d share it along with an excerpt from the article interview with Lars 🤍
Interviewer (J. Bennett): Some of those shows [M72 tour] will be with Pantera. You’ve known them since they were playing clubs, before Philip Anselmo was even in the band, haven’t you?
Lars: We met the brothers [Dimebag and Vinnie Paul] on the Ride the Lightning tour and became friends with them. This was in Dallas in - what - 1622 or something? It was about 400 years ago. [Laughs] We obviously loved both of them, and they had a posse down there, and we would see them whenever we came through Texas. We watched the band evolve over the years from more rock vibes into that creative, unique force that they became. So we’ve had a relationship with them for decades and decades, yeah.

larsulrich: Here’s to denim jackets for all,

But attitude overload!
