If there was no Black Sabbath, I could still possibly be a morning newspaper delivery boy. No fun.

The only band that we have never played with but have always wanted to is the Rolling Stones.

Metallica's the only band I've ever been in and it's the only band I ever wanna be in.

Parenting changes your life, it changes how you hear yourself in relationship to others - which is part of the reason that a bunch of people in the rock community are sick of the goodwill and positive energy and love between these 45-year-old musicians who they preferred when they were 25 and taking stabs at each other.

The worst day of my life was once that my mom didn't allow me to go to a Queen concert because I was grounded.

The day Metallica's over, i'm not going to put an ad looking for another band. I'll put my drumsticks on the shelf and there's 14 other things I wanna try. Metallica's the only band I've ever been and it's the only I ever wanna be in.

I don't like to be pigeonholed, and I really like that people never really know what's going on with Metllica.
