More quotes by James Hetfield
Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.
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
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
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
I associate times with certain music. It still is that for me. It's telling the story of our lives.
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
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
I'd rather regret doing something than not doing something.
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
I'm not generally a big solo guy, because I'm not into showing off that way.
James Hetfield
My whole life was duality: Here's my life at home, here's my life on the road.
James Hetfield
I love playing the melodic stuff. I love adding textures and colors.
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'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
Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
James Hetfield
Rehab is like college for your head.
James Hetfield
I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats.
James Hetfield
If you're into what you're playing, that's the most important thing.
James Hetfield
One time we saw some hookers but when we got closer we realized it was Motley Crue.
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
