My first gig with Metallica was at San Quentin State Penitentiary.
In a lot of ways, Metallica is like a fusion band. It's not necessarily jazz or any of that, but the music is grooving.
I think every Metallica album is unique in its own way.
Strangely enough, I've become a Metallica fan.
Metallica is a very complicated, fragile thing. On the outside, it's all metal, but on the inside it's very delicate.
I like the original Metallica version they did on 'Garage Days' - 'Last Caress' and 'Green Hell.'
Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.
You don't hear Metallica complaining about Pearl Jam.
As long as it says Metallica on the record it's Metallica.
What I have learned about Metallica is that it's all about taking chances and challenges.
Writing a Metallica song is a journey and a process, and it takes time, but that's what's special about it.
I always say my role in Metallica is to support the song and to support my team, and whatever that means, I'm there for it.
One thing about being in Metallica is I've always felt challenged.
I saw Metallica, I'm not a major Metallica fan, but I like music enough to get invited and went.
Metallica - they're so demonic, they're crazy, I don't know how they do it.
