Metallica is going to be one of those bands you look back on in the year 2008, that people will still listen to the way I still listen to Zeppelin and Sabbath albums.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That's really the thing that got me into playing a lot - getting excited about playing along with my favorite bands like Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
I didn't like the way I was let go from Metallica.
As iconic a band as Metallica has become, I think sometimes we forget just how raw they were in the beginning of their career, and to a 15-year-old kid like me, it was just shattering. I mean, it was beyond.
People that love this form of music have loved it from way back - Sabbath, Zeppelin, the early days.
There is one Metallica. We have many styles, it's called Metallica.
I love Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and Guns N' Roses and AC/DC.
Nobody wants to hear Metallica at lunchtime.
As long as it says Metallica on the record it's Metallica.
Me being the metal fan that I am, I like to listen to thrash metal to get me pumped - that kind of music will get your heart racing and ready for a crowd.
I didn't realize Metallica was as big as they were. I just thought it was my buddy Kirk's band - we went to high school together. I wasn't really following metal.
