That's what we're all about; taking advantage of people.
The music gets better and better. It ages so well. Some bands that you sit and listen to, and it just sounds completely silly a few years later, but that Nirvana stuff, when you hear it on the radio nowadays, it sounds as vital and vibrant as it did 10, 12 years ago, when it first came out. And one can only obviously wonder what other cool stuff would've come out of that whole thing.
Napster hijacked our music without asking, ... They never sought our permission. Our catalog of music simply became available as free downloads on the Napster system.
The new album will come out some time in november - Knock On Wood.
I don't like to be pigeonholded, and i really like that people never really know what's going on with Metallica.
I guess these things just went down in value, uh, if we can win one I guess anyone can, uh.
The only band that we have never played with but have always wanted to is the Rolling Stones.
If you sit there and you know that rule #1 is just that everything you do is honest and is just a natural and instinctual extension of yourself, then there you go.
Metallica's the only band i've ever been in. I'm not sure that when it ends in five, ten years, I'm going to put an ad in the paper saying, 'stupid drummer looking for stupid people to play music with,' Metallica is it and I think when that ceases, that's it.
I don't like to be pigeonholed, and I really like that people never really know what's going on with Metllica.

Parenting changes your life, it changes how you hear yourself in relationship to others - which is part of the reason that a bunch of people in the rock community are sick of the goodwill and positive energy and love between these 45-year-old musicians who they preferred when they were 25 and taking stabs at each other.
This isn't about fans, greed or money. It's about being morally right or wrong. Nobody is governing the way music gets from artists to fans. It's all running amok.
I would say [Lamar] Kendrick, it`s always fun to see what happens when Kendrick takes the stage. And my two oldest kids are huge fans of him.
