More quotes by 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
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
I love playing the melodic stuff. I love adding textures and colors.
James Hetfield
My whole life was duality: Here's my life at home, here's my life on the road.
James Hetfield
We like to set off bombs.
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
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
When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening.
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
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
James Hetfield
I've discovered that sheer quantity doesn't necessarily make for a heavier sound if anything, overdubs make guitars sound mushier.
James Hetfield
I associate times with certain music. It still is that for me. It's telling the story of our lives.
James Hetfield
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.
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
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
Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.
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
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.
James Hetfield
Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. For everyone.
James Hetfield
We'd record a song that people liked and wanted to hear on the radio, and the radio wouldn't play it because it was too long. Or they wanted to edit it, which we wouldn't allow.
James Hetfield
