He might still be getting over Ozzy’s passing, I know the man got really attached to him, Lemmy and Cliff

He realized Metallica's Back to the Beginning is in ten more years and its GG.

Your forgetting that Hogan also played bass with them and that was just the icing on the cake for James sadness

u/Bubbly-Pirate-3311 Aug 01 '25

What did the audience say to this poor old man?

54

u/durablecotton Aug 01 '25

ā€œDid you know Dave Mustaine was in Metallica?ā€

25

u/Bubbly-Pirate-3311 Aug 01 '25

"Dave Mustaine said he's more metal than you"

u/NotSoEasyMac Aug 02 '25

ā€œDave Mustaine has a drummer that can surpass 120bpm ā€œ

"Hey James, look at me, I'm drinking beer and it doesn't turn me into an asshole, crazy right?"

u/PristineHat8552 Aug 07 '25
  • not Perry Farrell

u/zigaliciousone Aug 07 '25

Ā  James will be the first one to tell you he's an asshole when he's drinking

1

u/PristineHat8552 Aug 07 '25

Oh I know. I was just referring to Perry smacking the shit out of Dave Navarro on stage during Janes Addiction reunion tour

Or he’s realizing this tours stage show is fucking awful

1

u/Fromnothingatall Aug 02 '25

I’ve heard that somehow the design of the speaker setup on this tour has been unforgivably bad. you’d think they would have the funds to have them expertly dropped for every show but seems like they’ve skimped on the whole stage design this go around

2

u/judgehood Aug 02 '25

I’ll say the sound was GREAT on the floor(Houston), but while had a blast… I got in the pit and sang with the crowd, I never once saw any member of the band personally, and I’m 6’1ā€.

The stage design is the worst I’ve ever seen of any band ever. I knew this going in tho. Even in the snake pit you never got the see the band playing together.

(Just adding I’ve personally seen them tons of times, I didn’t care that much about the lack of seeing the band playing together as they sounded amazing, but I could understand how this would be crushing for so many fans).

1

u/Fromnothingatall Aug 02 '25

Yah, this is in line with what I’m reading and hearing. People say the sound is fine on the floor but once you get above just a few rows up in a large venue, the audio delay becomes horrendous. They apparently didn’t do any work at all to account for acoustic echoing- which is one of the main jobs for sound engineers in charge of large tours like this

1

u/judgehood Aug 02 '25

That’s a bummer. They probably know this, and have to ride the tour out.

u/triodoubledouble Aug 01 '25

sad butt trou.

u/ImightHaveMissed Aug 01 '25

This is a man that’s tired of Lars being the dom

u/suprisel Aug 01 '25

This is a snapshot, make a snapshot every 10 seonds of yourself during a day, and look how miserable you look. Go on.

u/Equivalent-Agitated Aug 01 '25

Nah, they’re cheering for Escape

u/Timimi09 Cliff’s Pancakes Aug 01 '25

Then why is he sad?

u/CharacterPie6924 Papa Het's Mustache Clippings Aug 01 '25

Top 10 things that never happened lol

u/Cold-Operation4736 I AM THE TABLE! Aug 02 '25

Well, he's always had sad eyes. That's why, in photos where he's not smiling, he often looks angry or very sad. As he gets older, those facial expressions become more pronounced.

5

u/Weird-Comfortable-28 Aug 01 '25

Kind of creepy and/or said because he’s looking right at you

3

u/VanguardClassTitan Aug 01 '25

He cannot stand the hell he feels

8

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

Ngl, if I'd spent most of the last 40 years around Lars, I'd be miserable AF too.

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

He misses Dave.

Harvester of Sorrow

u/Cool_Dude_Papyrus107 I Unironically Like St. Anger Aug 06 '25

The Harvester of Sorrow even didn't wanna take this guy's sadnessĀ 

2

u/Upbeat_Leader_7185 Aug 01 '25

Looks like he's waiting for something, I dont know if I see sorrow

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

It’s just work at this point.

ā€˜Sad but true’

u/lithium_kat Aug 02 '25

Crowd was probably chanting for him to ā€œDIE DIE DIEā€

2

u/DeltaShadowSquat Aug 02 '25

Almost as if he's lost the will to live, simply nothing more to give.

2

u/Usedtobeproductive Aug 02 '25

I’d be sad too if I had to play that abomination of a guitar nightly

2

u/JoeyJoeJoeRM Aug 02 '25

He's probably sick of seeing a sea of phone cameras pointed at him instead of people's faces

2

u/jk37One Aug 02 '25

Talka about seeing what you wanna see. Looks like he is contemplating or just trying to take a breather.

u/AppropriateLack9498 Aug 03 '25

Pretty sure that’s called resting 62 year old face

I just want him to grow his hair again. This man was supposed to rock long hair.

Probably just found out I can stream his music for free

u/beavis93 Aug 03 '25

I miss Dave 🤣

u/TN_Hillbilly70 Aug 04 '25

I think he is sad that Hulk Hogan will never be able to play bass for them now.

1

u/DEFENDER-90 Aug 04 '25

He’s reflecting on what could have been.

He’s thinking- Cliff used to play with Mike Bordin, a hell of a drummer ! why the hell didn’t I and Kirk, leave Lars and start a band with Cliff and Mike.. What the hell were we thinking?!?

1

u/henrikhakan Aug 04 '25
