Metallica frontman James Hetfield stars in a wholesome new unboxing video in which the heavy metal legend opens up the new book exploring the history of his guitars. Packed with special insight into his iconic instruments and, in the case of the deluxe edition package, featuring some special, super-exclusive bonus gifts, the book, titled Messengers, looks like it could be a true treasure trove for dedicated fans of Hetfield's work.
"Messengers...trying to decide the name of the book, I had a lot of cool names, but Messengers made a lot of sense," says Papa Het in the video, which was uploaded to Metallica's official YouTube channel. "Basically, I'm a messenger, I got a gift from God [in] that I get to play music, and these are the tools that I get to express that with. And, you know, for me, obviously...[in] the beginnings of guitar playing, you don't really know too much about how important these things are for you, you just get guitars. And I'm glad that I kept all of the old guitars."
