Aqualung is one that my brother turned me onto. It wasn't that hard-rocking, but Martin Barre had a really good sound. He knew what he was doing.

If I hadn't of had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.

My whole life was duality: Here's my life at home, here's my life on the road.

I'm not generally a big solo guy, because I'm not into showing off that way.

There is something powerful in Metallica, a will, a drive.

We like to set off bombs.

We'd record a song that people liked and wanted to hear on the radio, and the radio wouldn't play it because it was too long. Or they wanted to edit it, which we wouldn't allow.
