To look for some kind of insight or meaning in pop songs is not really - well there's plenty of other places where you should probably look first before you start looking for it in a pop song.

You can't just put any four people together and it goes 'yaaaaah', y'know?

The past is where its supposed to be.

I don't want to grow up,' Tom Waits said it. I live it. I put myself in a position to be a kid as long as I want to. I play loud music and scream for a living.

Metallica is going to be one of those bands you look back on in the year 2008, that people will still listen to the way I still listen to Zeppelin and Sabbath albums.

I tell you very honestly, 1 billion percent, I have never regretted leaving Metallica.

I play the real instruments. I don't waste my time with anything else.
