Quotes

• If you'd stop being a Metallica fan because I won't give you my music for free, then fuck you. I don't want you to be a Metallica fan.
  • Quoted in Rob Tannenbaum, "The Playboy Interview: Metallica," Playboy (April 2001).

• Don't talk it, walk it.
  • Quoted in Some Kind of Monster (2004).

• If there are people that are dumb enough to use Metallica to interrogate prisoners, you're forgetting about all the music that's to the left of us. I can name, you know, 30 Norwegian death metal bands that would make Metallica sound like Simon & Garfunkel.
  • (Said upon discovering that, during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, uncooperative prisoners were exposed to the Metallica song "Enter Sandman" for extended periods by American interrogators.)

Quotes about Lars Ulrich

• He was so far ahead of his time in so many ways, not only in drumming, but business. Playing songs like “Fight Fire with Fire” in '84, “Battery” in '86, and “Blackened” in '88, there's no denying his drumming talent. Playing what's needed for the song, not himself, and not overplaying. His song arrangement and his business acumen are also what sets him apart from many of his peers. I don't think there are as many drummers out there that have influenced as many people to start playing drums as Lars has — and I'm absolutely one of them!
