Music is the soundtrack to my life.
James Hetfield
I wanted to make noise, not study theory.
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
I like a women who's got some balls, some strength. As long as I can beat her at arm wrestling, that's fine.

Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
James Hetfield
