I wanted to make noise, not study theory.
James Hetfield
I'm not generally a big solo guy, because I'm not into showing off that way.
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'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
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.

If you're into what you're playing, that's the most important thing.

When you're an actor and you walk into a theatre where your movie is playing, you're kinda proud. Look at my skill!
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
We like to set off bombs.
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
I'm married to Metallica.
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
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
Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. For everyone.
James Hetfield
I love playing the melodic stuff. I love adding textures and colors.
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
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
James Hetfield
My whole life was duality: Here's my life at home, here's my life on the road.
