More quotes by James Hetfield
I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats.
James Hetfield
I wanted to make noise, not study theory.
James Hetfield
No secret that I enjoy motor sports and cars in particular, building cars, building custom cars. Part of that scene. I love the flow of the cars and I love the art part of them. I love the sleekness and the uniqueness of each car that you can dream up.
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
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
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
I'm not generally a big solo guy, because I'm not into showing off that way.

Every band that I've known that has done side projects or things like that - I don't respect them anymore.

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
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
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
I'm married to Metallica.
James Hetfield
Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. For everyone.
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
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
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
Rap is just to me very annoying.
James Hetfield
Aqualung is one that my brother turned me onto. It wasn't that hard-rocking, but Martin Barre had a really good sound. He knew what he was doing.
