More quotes by James Hetfield
I associate times with certain music. It still is that for me. It's telling the story of our lives.
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
We discovered how much money influences certain things work in United States. How things might seem okay on the outside, but internally, they're corrupt.
James Hetfield
Rap is just to me very annoying.
James Hetfield
Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.
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 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
Nothing's really a prized possession except my family, you know?
James Hetfield
I'm not generally a big solo guy, because I'm not into showing off that way.
James Hetfield
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
James Hetfield
It's good to listen to lots of different stuff, just whatever you like. The first two records I ever bought were Alice Cooper, Killer and Jethro Tull, Aqualung. That's two weird records to begin with, but I think they hold up well.
James Hetfield
You want to hear vocals? Go sing it.
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
My whole life was duality: Here's my life at home, here's my life on the road.
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
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
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
I wanted to make noise, not study theory.
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
The band? No way! There ain't no band. The band is not 'the band' right now. It's just three guys.
James Hetfield
