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

Authority pisses me off. I think everyone should be able to drink and get loud whenever they want.

As far as artists and musicians, they don't retire. They might tour less.

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

There is one Metallica. We have many styles, it's called Metallica.

Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. For everyone.

A lot of modern amps and preamps sound great when you're jamming by yourself, but don't hold up in a band situation. The sound isn't dense enough, and the lows and highs tend to get soaked up by the bass and cymbals.
