I'd rather regret doing something than not doing something.
It's all fun and games 'till someone loses an eye, then it's just fun you can't see.
I choose to live, not just exist.
If I hadn't had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.
Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. for everyone.
A lot of modern amps and preamps sound great when you're jamming by yourself, but don't hold up in a band situation. The sound isn't dense enough, and the lows and highs tend to get soaked up by the bass and cymbals.
Authority pisses me off. I think everyone should be able to drink and get loud whenever they want.
My live sound does not work in the studio, which is a completely different animal. Every little thing is detrimental to the sound. And if someone moves a mic, you've lost it. It's pretty much a case of 'lock the door and set up a police line.'
Rap is just to me very annoying.
I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats.
Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
I like playing music because it's a good living and I get satisfaction from it. But I can't feed my family with satisfaction.
I'm always feeling like I don't belong, no matter where I am. So I'm just searching for a family nonstop, and sometimes I find it in the mosh pit, sometimes I find it when I'm doing some French TV show with the president's wife.
Just like the poles of a magnet, some people are drawn to death and others are repulsed by it, but we all have to deal with it.
I like a women who's got some balls, some strength. As long as I can beat her at arm wrestling, that's fine.
I'd much rather talk about guitar playing. I hate it when people ask me about my lyrics. I always feel like telling them to just go and read them.
There is something powerful in Metallica, a will, a drive.
There is one Metallica. We have many styles, it's called Metallica.
I'm married to Metallica.
Most of my guitars have been instruments that look cool. I'm not picky. I never think, 'Oh, this neck isn't made of ebony,' or, 'These strings don't feel correct.' It doesn't matter too much.
