F.A.Q. 4
What sports teams does James follow?
James is lifelong, diehard Raiders fan; San Jose
Sharks and D.C. United. James can be seen on the opening of the NHL's Cool
Shots TV program, and was also part of an NHL commercial.
What jobs has he had before Metallica?
James has worked in a sticker factory, as a high
school janitor, and as a mover.
What happened at the Montreal show 8-8-92, Why
did James get burned?
The band was informed of a pyro change... Pyro would
be ignited along the "wings" of the stage during "Fade To
Black". The Pyro-tech however, failed to inform the band that new
pyro would be going ALONG with the old pyro. Assuming that the new pyro
canceled out the previous pyro; James stood atop of where the old pyro
occurred, a 12 foot flame was ignited, severely burning his left hand and
that side of his body.
Does James still skateboard?
No, but rumors abound that past tour contracts have
included a "NO SKATEBOARDING" clause, just in case. He has
recently taken to Snowboarding, apparently it has a slightly softer
landing.
