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.

If you're into what you're playing, that's the most important thing.
James Hetfield
I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats.

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
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
The fans like the idea we do what we want. It's not an act. Screw the record company and the beaten path. Without MTV or radio, we still have a huge underground following.
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 love playing the melodic stuff. I love adding textures and colors.
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
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 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
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.
James Hetfield
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
James Hetfield
When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening.
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
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.
