That’s the Papa Het
Also called the Old Man James
Grown out side-ish part…start training your hair by combing it back after a shower to see where it wants to part and try and train it to part kinda at the corner of your head…his hair is a bit grown out though, so you will need to give it time to get used to flowing like that…a hair clay would likely help of you don’t want too greasy of a look but the hold to keep the sides down
This dude hairs.
I call it "The Outlaw Torn." But I'm not a hairdresser or anything, so I'm sure there's an actual name for it.
If ever I make a game, that’s the name I’m giving this customisation option :)
I will take that as a compliment! Thanks!

James had that look during the S&M era too.
No doubt. He was not well. Glad he’s better now and putting on some awesome shows.
He’s brilliant, especially for his age. Just a daft joke, I love James Hetfield. ❤️
Yea this is the "going through a rough time" haircut sadly
Pretty much can confirm- got laid off 3 months ago and this is basically my current hairstyle.
Bruh I was gonna say the same thing. I’m glad he got help again. I remember seeing S&M2 in theaters and feeling concerned when I saw and heard him.
Heard him? He sounds incredible on S&M2, 2019 in general was one of their best touring years in the 2000s
Yeah that’s the double edged sword unfortunately, James specifically sounded incredible
The YYYEEEEEEAAAAAAUUUUUHHHHHH!!!!!

Bad.
The short high-and-tight he's got now is such a better look on him it's crazy. Helps that he's in better health physically and mentally now compared to when these pics were taken, too. Still, nothing compares to his OG vintage metal lettuce in the 80s.

I don't know but judging by the moments we have seen this haircut on James he's going through some shit. So it's more of a "unwell" haircut

“Hockey flow” or “mullet”. This is more of a “flow” than anything
I’m lowk wearing this style right now lol
It makes me feel so old. The Mighty Het is someone who I have revered for more than three decades. Where does the fucking time go?
"Slicked back" / "greaser" / "the tunnel snake" <-- a reference, not a real hairstyle
You can use either hairspray or hairgel, but in the long run, hairgel will be more effective and less damaging to your hair than hairspray.
In this pic he probably used a brush and not a comb, since it looks pretty "loose" kinda like a powdered wig.

Slicked back, aka greaser
Edit: yes, we know I meant pushed back... lol. Greaser requires a comb and, well, grease. Neither of which this image showcases.

Oh yeah? Flame tattoos, white explorer, roams wherever he may
I’m afraid OP doesn’t think James can change.
You think this is SLICKED back? This is PUSHED back!
That’s not slick back. That’s push back!
You think this is slicked back?! This is pushed back
Looks pushed back to me…
Usually with a lot of grease to slick it back . “ A little dab will do ya “ lol
Specifically, probably slicked back while growing it out from short and/or too lazy to keep up short cut.
That's not judging, that's from personal experience lol.
Exactly
