I didn't like the way I was let go from Metallica.

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.

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.

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.

You don't hear Metallica complaining about Pearl Jam.

Nobody wants to hear Metallica at lunchtime.

I just felt like I'd rather listen to even the worst metal song more than most current pop music.

Metal is still the biggest music now in America.

I'm married to Metallica.

Metallica is a very complicated, fragile thing. On the outside, it's all metal, but on the inside it's very delicate.
