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

I've been into horror movies ever since I was five years old.

Horror movies started to wane around the onset of World War II, and after World War II, when all the troops came home, people weren't really interested in seeing horror movies, because they had the real horror right on their front doorsteps.

The main riff for 'SandMan' was just something I wrote one night.

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

When I got my first Marshall amp, it was so empowering. No one ever forgets their first Marshall amp if you're a guitar player pursuing a big powerful sound. I mean, no one ever forgets their first Marshall amp.

Just because you know umpteen billion scales, it doesn't mean you have to use them all in a solo.
