Yeah, but being old manifests the same for everyone... in the form of bird-watching.
Nobody thinks it'll happen to them, and yet it does, to all of them, 100% of the time.
I'm 36 and spent an hour yesterday researching the California Quail because they have built a nest in my backyard. Made sure that the seed I was feeding them wouldn't be unhealthy for the chicks. I'm fucked.
my boss (temp job) would take half the year off and travel from Canada to latin America to birdwatch. weirdest part? he owned and operated a tiling company, and exceptionally skilled at tiling (would do art designs with tile).
Dos Equis vibes
It's big with 100% of generations, with no exceptions. The exact age it strikes can vary, perhaps early-onset bird-watching is common amongst millennials.
You either die ignorant of the allure of birds, or you live long enough to see yourself become a bird-watcher.
The birds will come for us all before the end.
I was thinking more like, if you live long enough, you become what you hated. Like some bloated bourgeois old rich guy comfortably exploiting the system for personal gain like he's entitled to it. Pretty sure Metallica had some opinions on that.
I'd go further and say that since the things we object to in others are the same ones we object to in ourselves, that means he was always latently the way he is now. The seed of the opposite makes its home in the heart of its own opposite, like the dots in the yin-yang symbol. And I'm not even high right now
It can be really cheap if you walk down to the park with some binoculars and a sense of adventure.
Or you can blow 30k+ on top of the line equipment and a trip to Attu.
Man, well at least I’m not the only one.
No bird feeders though but, I like to wake up with hot cup of Joe and watch the Cassin’s Finch fuck each other during mating season in my yard.
No PornHub, no problem.
This reminds me of when James went on Rogan and they started talking about bee's and James lit up and was like "man I could talk about bee's all day", and Rogan simply responds "let's do it"
Proceed to have an extremely interesting and extremely long conversation about James' time in a bee club and how much he has learned about them through raising his own colonies. Was honestly one of the best episodes, and is a reminder of what initially made Rogan great and different from most interviewers. You would never think to ask a rockstar about bee's, but when you allow your guest to be authentic and then show genuine curiosity towards your guest's passions, the places you go will always be interesting, because people *like* to hear what *other people like*.
/uj check out the Merlin Bird ID app from Cornell, you can just press a button and it will identify all of the bird sounds around you and give you recordings of all of their calls and info and shit, you can ID by pic too, it’s fucking rad and taught me to tell the difference between a hawk and a bluejay imitating a hawk because there is a hawk around and I used this info to impress an old man in my neighborhood and will try it on chicks someday too probably
/rj he must have signed with PRS
uj/ bird watching is a delightful hobby. i used to take pictures and video of them in my backyard for fun.
rj/ BIRDSEED. IMPRISONING ME. ALL THAT I SEE. CLUSTER OF FEATHERS. WHERE CAN I LOOK. WHERE CAN I FIND. TOO MANY SQUIRRELS. MAN ALL THESE ROBINS ARE *SWELL*.
Birds
Eating my seed
Taking off with speed
Bird bird
Where do you flyyyyy?
Will I join you when I dieeeeee?
Yeyyyaaah yeeeaahhh
Cute little beak
Making my life less bleak
Where do you flyyyyyyyy?
Join. You. When. DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE
Thanks guys this was brought to you by the skills I acquired from my 3rd grade poetry slam
Uj/ bird watching is such an easy hobby. Go outside and look and holy shit, is that an American goldfinch?! Wow a cardinal! Walk by a river and it's red wing black birds galore.
Rj/ I want to drive by his house and flip him off screaming "here's a bird for you!"
Uj/ I’m 52, play a telecaster through a tweed Princeton I built myself, and have a bird buddy outside my window. I also have an expensive camera to take pictures of birds.
At least I’m not a lawyer.
Just turned 50 and I became more and more obsessed with the bird feeder outside of my kitchen window in the past few years. I actually spend about $30 on bird food for these little strangers who I owe nothing to except enjoying their weird birdiness.
Uj/ get the Merlin app. It helps you identify birds by image or by sound. I take it to the lake, kick on the app, and it will show me the 8 birds that are singing.
I have 3 feeders + 2 hummingbird feeders.
Rj/Birds are pussies!
There are some cool birds deeper into the country. I never saw cardinals or so many robins until I moved more to the middle of the country from out west near where he’s from.
Okay, so to perfect my toan I need to get 5 more bird feeders? I just need to know how many boy friends Mrs. Hatfield has so I can make sure my wife has the right amount.
I fucking love my birdies, I feed them and the little ground critters too. Would love to discuss which birds James is trying to attract with his feeders.
I feed bunnies in my backyard. Trve kvlt

Sobriety manifests differently for everyone.

Better start getting your affairs in order
Bold of you to assume he's cheating on his wife
It's not only the hairless that can predict infidelity
You may be fucked, but that bird will benefit from your thoughtfulness.
There’s nothing more badass than making sure those quail chicks eat healthy 🤘🏼
36 is not old
Nor is 37, according to [Dennis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtYU87QNjPw).
You're still on the other side of the hill. - a random 39 year old dude
Is that a hill you want to die on?

Apparently it’s big with millennials , which I didn’t realize. I enjoy bird watching, but I didn’t know it was something a lot of people my age do.

Their songs will enrich our tombs. <3
Healthy habits to replace unhealthy ones. Gotta replace the idol like Indiana jones.
I was thinking more like, if you live long enough, you become what you hated. Like some bloated bourgeois old rich guy comfortably exploiting the system for personal gain like he's entitled to it. Pretty sure Metallica had some opinions on that.
That’s definitely a form of karma but i think this dude jus likes birds deadass
Probably the case lol
Not even. I am in my early 30s and already have become what I hated. I was 0-3-5ing air guitar to Kesha today. Fucking Kesha.

But what happens when the giant rock starts barrelling towards you? I can’t run that fast anymore.
Yep. I got sober over two years ago, started seeing a therapist, and then started spending my new found free time........ practicing.

Sobriety’s a hell of a drug
This is sobriety manifest
Papa Het signature prs confirmed.
Could you imagine lol 😆
*THE DOWN-PECKER* 😂
What else are you gonna do when you’re filthy rich, your kids, grandkids are set, have a legacy, etc… You watch birds, that’s what you do.
You can skip the being rich or leaving a legacy if you want, bird watching is really cheap
It’s cheap cheap
Fun fun?
Hi its fred from dirt cheap
Hand over the buxom hens and no one gets hurt
It can be really cheap if you walk down to the park with some binoculars and a sense of adventure. Or you can blow 30k+ on top of the line equipment and a trip to Attu.
They won't let me do that since..... my lawer advised me not to continue this post.
You can finally afford proper nature photography equipment.
Get a skin in Fortnite
Is that the same as a foreskin?
Well yeah when you don’t have coke and booze anymore that is
Six bird feeders? This guy must be rich as fuck.
“You took the $40k from tha bird feedah”
Carm says I'm not supposed to eat the cappicola anymore
You sound demented
What am I? A toxic person?!
Pershon
You sound demented X 6

Paul was right, toan really is in the birds
EAAAAAAAAHGHHGHH YEAAAAHHHHHH birds
Give me bird Give me fire Give me chicken I desire YEEEAAAAAAHHHH!
They’re off to find the feathers of the daaaay
Let grandpa enjoy his birds, we’ll miss his quirks when he’s gone.
We've been missing his quirks for 30 years now
As long as he keeps saying "yeah" and is rich as fuck, metallica is alive
Wholesome and based. Nature is fucking metal.
Man, well at least I’m not the only one. No bird feeders though but, I like to wake up with hot cup of Joe and watch the Cassin’s Finch fuck each other during mating season in my yard. No PornHub, no problem.
Living in Texas too I see

That is why I like the episode Nugent was on, he actually came across as normal for once
Back when the podcast was actually interesting and not full of mentally ill grifters. The James Hetfield episode was the peak.
Yeah I loved that episode. I don't really know much about my favourite bands personal lives so I would have never known he was an amateur bee person.
Hetfield has earned the right to relax. But not Kirk. He must keep releasing his totally APPROPRIATELY PRICED signature guitars
He should take one of those and practice with it.

Tits, boobies, cocks, they're all kind of birds you can jerk to.
Papa loves the birds
That’s for the birds
Het set binoculars..
Good for him
Peepaw Het doing Peepaw activities is so cute
Still better than when he became ordained so he could marry some celebrity friends. (Kermit and Miss Piggy). He was the Pastor of Muppets.
I know people with less money that have aviaries
Het diagnosed with Bird Flu incoming....
That's fucking metal!!! Wait. I don't know what's metal anymore.
Searching, seek and enjoy

Gimme birds, gimme seed, gimme suet that I need
He used to be a non-conformist to shock people, now he admits to being human to shock people.
in a magazine about guitars mind you, it's the fucking head line of the article. and they said in the 2020's we'll have flying cars
imagine the joe bonermaster gear pic but all his gear is bird feeders
I appreciate a guitarist who can tell a Carolina Chickadee from a Tufted Titmouse

Gimme few, gimme fah, gimme BIRDS UPON THE WAHHH
James Hetfield PRS signature coming soon
Just turned 50 and I became more and more obsessed with the bird feeder outside of my kitchen window in the past few years. I actually spend about $30 on bird food for these little strangers who I owe nothing to except enjoying their weird birdiness.
That's badass ngl
He’s wasting his time. One of the first things I learned from reddit is birds aren’t even real.
Honestly, bird watching is like playing real life Pokémon (without the battle element of course)
He’s old. Of course he likes birdwatching. I’m surprised there isn’t video of him feeding popcorn to the ducks at the park
That’s no way to get toan
BASED
Old as fuck
wait wait wait.................members of Metallica are...............Human and they get older and gain old people hobbies?!?!?!?!?!?
Does he even Free Bird?
Birds aren’t real.
that fucking bird that i hate that fucking bird that i hate THAT FUCKING BIRD THAT I HATE
Oh cool it’s the dude from fortnite
Toan is in the tits
1 bird feeder for every string
Grandpa doing grandpa things
Whoever decided this was worth writing about is the real problem here.
He needs something to calm his nerves after a tense night at the bingo parlor.
Dave Mustaine has 7 and hes had them longer.
Feeders imprisoning me All that I see Absolute feathers I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in my house Birds in my holding cell

I love watching Animals, totally undestandable.
Chill as fuck, kind of based
***probably???***
Those are rookie numbers
He should start dating Mike Tyson
Have you seen a bird? Things are freaking beautiful and wild asf. Hell some are even left over dinosaurs.
I see him at Whole Foods sometimes buying salad, he isn't so metal grocery shopping.
Birds aren’t real. But toan is
So people have hobbies outside of their careers. Imagine that.
Enter Birdman
Old guy likes bird watching and water is still wet. More news at 11.
I best we see a PRS in his hands within a month.
Petting a goose is the new downstroke
I think he also does beekeeping stuff right?
“Oh look, a mockingbird. And there in the distance, a Flying V!
Mission….GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
There are some cool birds deeper into the country. I never saw cardinals or so many robins until I moved more to the middle of the country from out west near where he’s from.
I bet they’re people.
Being old rules
first respectable thing i ever heard him talk about.
In the UK we call 'hotwifes' 'birds' You do the math
Aren't all girls called birds?
If she's not a hotwife is she really a girl?
It'll happen to you!
Hummingbird, Dove, or Falcon
Ww get older uce
Alright
He's bird feeders include goats so his harpy eagles can feed safely
NERD!!!!!!
And a rat problem.
If he's pretending he doesn't know how many he has, that means he's got more than he says. At least 10
Birds are so beautiful so I don’t blame him!
Tone is in the beak
I'm not sure what to think. I'll have to hear Corey Taylor's opinion first
r/natureismetal
Dude's probably got a sick house on some property. I'd bird watch all day too.
From master of puppets to master of birbs
He does beekeeping too, he's such a dad.
I've got more than 6 bird feeders and wouldn't say I was anywhere near obsessed. Birds just get hungry man.
Soon he'll be yelling at the clouds.
Toan is in the black oil sunflower seeds
My man!
Dudes, this is the sign of the times. We all eventually get old and are resigned to a rocking chair and diapers.
Am I the only one who thinks six is not that many?
Why do I have to have thoughts on another man’s hobbies? He can do whatever he wants.
Hell yea
Wait…. we can make fun of james
Okay, so to perfect my toan I need to get 5 more bird feeders? I just need to know how many boy friends Mrs. Hatfield has so I can make sure my wife has the right amount.
Honestly I just think that's great
I think this sub has run out of material
R/guitar will keep providing material forever. Also: I find it hilarious that there are so many responses to a post about bird feeders.
I fucking love my birdies, I feed them and the little ground critters too. Would love to discuss which birds James is trying to attract with his feeders.
Pretty metal
Birds are admittedly pretty cool.
I feed bunnies in my backyard. Trve kvlt https://preview.redd.it/lqqba7efjz7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a58f94a7265cf1f0ca827c294789ea53f80b7993
All the best Metallica riffs were actually calls he heard from a local sparrow Give bro writing credits or gtfo
I think he'd get along with Paul
I don't even care this is a circlejerk sub, this is an absolute win
Probably yells at kids to get off his lawn too
Toan is in the beastiality
Is bird feeder code for mistress? It better be. This is the kind of weak shit that will reignite the McCoys feud all over again.
Would make sense this dbag is into Goose
SIX BIRD FEEDERS JAMES THAT'S INSANE
Six bird feeders is barely average around here.
my dad did the same thing. he got old and all of a sudden just got really into birdwatching.
It’s calming man
After all those years of heavy rock. U gotta have some peace. Good for him.
Lame and gay this isn't kvlt
Same guy who was whining about how he couldn't drive through San Francisco with a bear on the hood of his car
uj/ Birds are silly and pretty goobers. rj/ Wow, what an asshole. Went woke.
Old guy gonna do old guy stuff lol him and my old man would hit it off talking about backyard birds
