There is one Metallica. We have many styles, it's called Metallica.
As long as it says Metallica on the record it's Metallica.
I've been a fan of Metallica and friends with those guys for a long time and that was just great - half Alice In Chains and half Metallica playing together.
I once won a Grammy for an Australian version of 'Turn the Page' that another artist did; I can't remember his name. There've been covers down through the years around the world, but I did like Metallica's, because I kind of related to Metallica when...
Nobody wants to hear Metallica at lunchtime.
There is something powerful in Metallica, a will, a drive.
Megadeth doesn't sound anything like Metallica.
Metallica - they're so demonic, they're crazy, I don't know how they do it.
You don't hear Metallica complaining about Pearl Jam.
How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go?
Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.
I didn't like the way I was let go from Metallica.
Metallica is a very complicated, fragile thing. On the outside, it's all metal, but on the inside it's very delicate.
I tell you very honestly, 1 billion percent, I have never regretted leaving Metallica.
I dated someone in the '90s who was really into Metallica, and I remember thinking at the time, 'That just sounds so heavy and hard.' But they have great ballads! Great ballads.
If you grew up in my generation, you're going to be influenced by Run DMC, the Beastie Boys and also listen to Metallica - it wasn't segregated anymore.
Metallica is like the phoenix rising from the ashes. We set everything on fire, and this is what has risen from it - 'St. Anger' being the fire and 'Death Magnetic' being the phoenix.
As big as Metallica are, they're still not like a pop act. As big as they are, they're still not U2 or Lady Gaga. It's still underground.
My biggest influences were 1980s punk and metal. Metallica were my biggest influence because they were good at everything - riffs, energy - but with such an ear for melody, it was hard not to get pulled into it and become a fanatic.
If we were to hit the level that Metallica or somebody like that hit, we'd have had a hard time dealing with it. I think it would have been our doom. It's hard for anybody at that level.
And the Earth Becomes my Throne I adapt to the Unknown Under Wandering Stars I've grown I ask no one.
