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
No one but me can save myself though its too late, death greets me warm, now i will just say goodbye.
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
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
James Hetfield
I love playing the melodic stuff. I love adding textures and colors.
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
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
You want to hear vocals? Go sing it.
James Hetfield
I like a women who's got some balls, some strength. As long as I can beat her at arm wrestling, that's fine.
