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

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

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

Although I'm a lead guitarist, I'd say that a good 95 percent of my time onstage is spent playing rhythm.

The same sensations that you get in heavy metal are in horror movies. Heavy metal sounds evil and horror movies are evil, ha ha!

I'm not into that whole Satanic thing. It's just something to fall back on if you don't have much imagination. Singing you fiftieth song about having lunch with Satan--I'm not into it. It's silly.

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