FAMOUS SAYINGS:
"Guitar players in
the nineties seem to be reacting against the technique-oriented eighties."
Concerning "The Black
Album". "When we were making our last record, nobody even knew who the
fuck Kurt Cobain was!"
Concerning "Load".
"In the time between albums, we wondered, 'How does Metallica fit into
all this?' And then we realized we didn't fit into it at all, never have,
and never will."
"I would hate to say
I'm bored with the standard rock guitar solo, but I've done it for five
albums now, and this time I wanted to go in a completely different direction.
I wasn't interested in showing off any more."
