Best two rock voices I've heard in a last few years both have been from grunge bands: it's Eddie Vedder and the other one is Chris Cornell from Soundgarden.

There are basically two categories of music: Metal and bullshit.

If heavy metal bands ruled the world, we'd be a lot better off.

We're better than Metallica. We're better musicians, better players. Put it this way, they can try to walk onstage after an Iron Maiden show if they want.

I find that fencing and training give me more stamina and help me deal with the craziness of being on the road so much.

Life is too short to do the things you don't love doing.

Everything you need to know about Iron Maiden is onstage.

My dad always told me, 'I don't care what you do. Just aim to be the best at it. Even if it's the world's best window cleaner.'

I wanted to be the most famous. And it wasn't until I hung out with Justin Bieber that the whole thing got demystified. The mystique of it was gone.

There are many ways of showing your protest and discontent without the actions of Kremlin.

The rich are the scum of the earth in every country.

The more clearly one sees this world; the more one is obliged to pretend it does not exist.

Almost every dot-com idea from 1999 that failed will succeed.
