| Zitate: |
"...I can appreciate the people who want us only to go fast. If you dig those bands, please buy
their records and see their shows so we can keep it alive - but don't disrespect the people who
paved the way and broke down the doors for so many of the groups you enjoy now. One of the
bands that played a big part in that was Metallica. We're the guys that wrote Damage Inc., Fight
Fire With Fire, Whiplash...you name it, we helped invent it. And we can still play it better than
anyone. I'll go up against any death-metal band - pound for pound, hour for hour, we'll crush 'em.
I have great respect for them, but those are the facts."
"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." "I ended up gettin' a little Gibson amp and a bass, because of Gene Simmons of Kiss. Myself and three other kids would pretend to be Kiss--I liked Gene the best." "I thought I'd do something nice for the band...I'll hang myself." "I hit it off with the guys in the band right away when I first met them because I could drink them under the table and still maintain my sanity--or insanity as the case may be." 1992 |
