To be honest, I'm one of the least-technical guitar players around. I just want a guitar to feel good and sound good. That's it, period.

The internet is a great thing but the worst thing that it brought to the music business was piracy and it's made making stuff available really difficult.

Anthrax, it's something that gets you sick, it's horrible, strong. It's a heavy-metal band name if there ever was one.

I really don't worry about what people say or what they have to say or what they think - it just doesn't matter.

Even as a kid, if I would come across something cool in the record store, that would be how I found out about bands. It's kind of the same way these days. In a way even less because there are no record stores to go to anymore.

As big as Metallica are, they're still not like a pop act. As big as they are, they're still not U2 or Lady Gaga. It's still underground.

Music and songs are written at different periods of time, at different times in your life. They reflect the feelings you have and to be honest, I quite like having positive emotions.
