Most of my guitars have been instruments that look cool. I'm not picky. I never think, 'Oh, this neck isn't made of ebony,' or, 'These strings don't feel correct.' It doesn't matter too much.

I associate times with certain music. It still is that for me. It's telling the story of our lives.

Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.

Send me money, send me green, and Heaven you will meet. Make your contribution and you'll get a better seat.

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.

Any time somebody is into your band that's a good thing. And if they're in a really cool, really popular band, that's a better thing.

Live win, dare fail.
