Nothing can duplicate the sheer power and feeling you get from standing in front of your amp and bashing on your guitar.

I'm married to Metallica.

There was so much good and different music back then and you'd just keep moving through it and discovering more new stuff. I went through my Black Sabbath phase before I even started playing guitar.

The fans like the idea we do what we want. It's not an act. Screw the record company and the beaten path. Without MTV or radio, we still have a huge underground following.

I think it's very cool for the drummer to be set free from having to worry about holding down the beat every once in a while, though it's a little constricting.

It's a good feeling, that you can put your heart out there, no matter how black it is, and people can understand it.

If everyone was the same, it would be boring as sh*t
