I went through a whole blues period in the Nineties, and that had some influence on 'Load' and 'ReLoad.'

If I had unlimited funds, wall space and storage, I would collect a lot more things, like 'Planet of the Apes,' 'Star Wars,' science fiction stuff, autographs, and prop guns and weapons. I have to draw the line somewhere.

I think it goes without saying that a lot of big horror fans are just nerds and geeks.

It really shocked me just to hear of the fans' response to 'St. Anger' not having guitar solos.

Metallica is a very complicated, fragile thing. On the outside, it's all metal, but on the inside it's very delicate.

I love horror movies in space. I love it when the genre switches over and what was sci-fi becomes horror.

A lot of the main characters in horror movies are outsiders as well, so that outsider syndrome reverberates within horror fans and geeky collectors. It's kind of a rallying call that brings fans and collectors together who are a little socially retarded, maybe.
