No worries we quickly found comfort and stride. I knew there were important (and, at times, uncomfortable) things to ask about and discuss. I came to this conversation curiously nervous despite our long history. He spoke about how people should “not feel alone” before continuing to empathize with tens of thousands nightly about depression and anxiety what an enormous thing to do. I started to sense he was perhaps entering a new phase of self when he first opened up from the stage in South America during the spring of 2022. This conversation, this time frame, this era of his life sees James further shedding protective gear and answering the questions with a rawer sense of self than ever before. And each one has always seen James as open as it was possible to be at that time. We’ve had many discussions – interviews, I suppose – for So What! over the decades. Ostensibly to discuss the ingredients and auras of 72 Seasons from his perspective, the conversation would turn out to embrace some of the most honest thoughts and sentiments on his life and creative process that I can remember. There is no scholarly or even literary way to introduce the conversation I had with James Hetfield in January 2023.
