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

I'm death obsessed. You know, I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!

We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.

One of my favorite horror films of the Nineties was 'Event Horizon.'

I didn't want to fall into the trap of competing with all these other great guitar players. I just want to sidestep the whole thing and get out of the race.

For me, one of the most perfect times to watch a horror movie is when it's cold and raining outside and there's pretty much no outdoor activity to be done. It kind of sets the mood.

I'm very fortunate to be doing the thing I do best, which is play guitar. There aren't many other things I could do.
