James Hetfield

James Hetfield is the main songwriter, lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and founding member of the band Metallica. He is known for his stage presence, muscular riffing style and often-imitated signature growl, which has become more melodic as he has grown older.

Personal life

When he's not writing, singing or playing, Hetfield enjoys a variety of outdoor activities including hunting, snowboarding, water and jet-skiing, sketching,watching his favorite football team Oakland Raiders, in addition to going to hot-rod shows. He also collects vintage guitars, (particularly those from 1963), and enjoys working on classic automobiles. Amongst his favorites are a '55 Chevy BelAir, which he helped to restore, and The Beast, an all-terrain four wheel drive Blazer. Aside from these pursuits, Hetfield says he's often happiest spending time with his wife Francesca and three children: Cali, Castor, and Marcella. He put his 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, which was used in the video for I Disappear and was given to him as a gift upon the video's completion, up for sale on Ebay, with the proceeds to go to a Music for Schools program.
