More quotes by James Hetfield
I'd rather regret doing something than not doing something.
James Hetfield
My whole life was duality: Here's my life at home, here's my life on the road.
James Hetfield
When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening.
James Hetfield
There was so much good and different music back then and you'd just keep moving through it and discovering more new stuff. I went through my Black Sabbath phase before I even started playing guitar.
James Hetfield
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
James Hetfield
Trios aren't really geared for slide unless you're gonna play chords, or play that simple George Thorogood style. It gets pretty thin when you play single note lines.
James Hetfield
Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
James Hetfield
I was pretty quiet as a child. I kind of hung out with my family and listened to music and sh*t. I wasn't too outgoing at all.
James Hetfield
You want to hear vocals? Go sing it.
James Hetfield
The fans like the idea we do what we want. It's not an act. Screw the record company and the beaten path. Without MTV or radio, we still have a huge underground following.
James Hetfield
There is something powerful in Metallica, a will, a drive.
James Hetfield
Any time somebody is into your band that's a good thing. And if they're in a really cool, really popular band, that's a better thing.
James Hetfield
Every breath I take becomes deeper, and I become more confident of myself without my crutches. The lies I've filled my body and soul with aren't needed anymore. They're not welcome. I choose to live, not just exist.
James Hetfield
A lot of times, I'll have a goal, I'll start writing, and I'll end up in some far off place, which is good. It's nice to have a focus, but letting the lyrics write themselves where they need to go is important.
James Hetfield
My vocals are bad, I can't sing, hey man, I wouldn't ask you to do a drum roll if your arm was falling off.
James Hetfield
If I hadn't of had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.
James Hetfield
Every band that I've known that has done side projects or things like that - I don't respect them anymore.
James Hetfield
It's a good feeling, that you can put your heart out there, no matter how black it is, and people can understand it.
James Hetfield
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.
James Hetfield
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.
