Doing things the way you see it, going by your own heart and soul, that is pure artistic integrity. Whether the hair is six or sixty inches long, the eyes have make-up or not, the riffs are in 'E' or 'F' sharp, the amps are Marshall or not, all those things don't matter if you are doing it for the right reason, which to me means doing it for yourself!!

Hugh [Evans] called us. And obviously this has been on our radar for all the years it`s been going on. And each year obviously reaches more and more people, and it`s high profile. Hugh reached out to our manager just down the street. And we said we`re here [ on GLOBAL CITIZEN in the Central Park] to help and do whatever we can.

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.

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