More quotes by 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
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
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
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
We like to set off bombs.
James Hetfield
We discovered how much money influences certain things work in United States. How things might seem okay on the outside, but internally, they're corrupt.

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
Nothing's really a prized possession except my family, you know?
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
You want to hear vocals? Go sing it.
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
When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening.
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
If you're into what you're playing, that's the most important thing.
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
I associate times with certain music. It still is that for me. It's telling the story of our lives.
James Hetfield
Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
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
There is something powerful in Metallica, a will, a drive.
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.
