More quotes by James Hetfield
If you're into what you're playing, that's the most important thing.
James Hetfield
We like to set off bombs.
James Hetfield

James Hetfield
I wanted to make noise, not study theory.
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
Rehab is like college for your head.
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
Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
James Hetfield

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
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
You want to hear vocals? Go sing it.
James Hetfield
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
James Hetfield
I associate times with certain music. It still is that for me. It's telling the story of our lives.
James Hetfield
When people start copying your style, you know that something must be happening.
James Hetfield
Any time somebody is into your band that's a good thing. And if they're in a really cool, really popular band, that's a better thing.
James Hetfield
Rap is just to me very annoying.
James Hetfield
