METALLICA Frontman JAMES HETFIELD On The Power Of Music - "It Saved My Life; That Is The Ultimate Connection"
December 1, 2018, 5 years ago
On November 28th, Metallica performed at Taco Bell Arena in Boise, ID. Prior to the show they spoke with Jeremi Schlader (Big J) at Boise station 100.3 FM The X, who was granted the interview after losing 100 pounds prior to the concert date.
Two months after Big J contacted Metallica's management company pitching the idea for the weight-loss challenge, drummer Lars Ulrich posted a video supporting his battle.
"Big J, we wish you the very best of luck. Become ... a smaller J."
Check out the interview below.
The LTD Snakebyte SE Baritone is a new collaboration by James Hetfield and ESP Guitars. It is a replica of the original model currently played by James on Metallica’s WorldWired Tour.
This Special Edition release is limited to just 500 pieces. It offers set-neck construction at 27” scale, allowing for an extended lower range than a standard scale guitar. It employs a mahogany body with a distinctive highly-figured quilted maple top in See Thru Purple Sunburst finish, paired to a comfortable thin U-shaped 3-piece mahogany neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard.
High-quality hardware on the LTD Snakebyte SE Baritone includes LTD locking tuners, a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, and James Hetfield’s signature EMG JH "Het" Set active pickups. This guitar also includes a hardshell ESP case and a Certificate of Authenticity.
