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.

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
Rap is just to me very annoying.

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.

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
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
My whole life was duality: Here's my life at home, here's my life on the road.
James Hetfield
I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats.
James Hetfield
I'd rather regret doing something than not doing something.
