I can safely say that any band with a sentence for a name, 6 members or more and carefully combed to the side hairdos are not metal no matter what distortion pedal they have for their guitars.

That's what metal means to me, feeling that feeling when you hear something that totally turns you on.

People get so upset about lyrics, and they're probably totally cool with horror movies. That doesn't really make sense.

Soccer matches in Europe have riot police. Metal is just people sloshing around drunk and sloppy and having fun, and there's nothing wrong with that. It is a great outlet for aggression.

You can see it in people's faces, when they're into a metal band. It's cool to see that being passed on.

I've got friends in bands who seem like they're always on tour, even still. It may be in some people's blood. I'm sure some bands do it just to earn a living or for the experience.

I like whatever's good. Metal, rock, new or old - I don't care, as long as it does something to my brain.

I'm always interested in new things. I don't go seeking out every band I can hear because there are too many, especially now with the Internet. There's no way you can collect everything.

If it entertains you, cool - read it, listen to it, watch it. But if it horrifies or disgusts you or scares you, then don't listen to it.

Looking up at the stars only proves you admire them, but shining your light proves you are like them.

No bird ever looked at a plane in envy

I just discovered the Santa Monica flea market, every Sunday. I go weekly. There's a lot of interesting things there.

Country people do not behave as if they think life is short; they live on the principle that it is long, and savor variations of the kind best appreciated if most days are the same.

I am on record as saying that we need to put more money into the Social Security Trust Fund. That's part of my commitment to raise taxes on the wealthy.

If you just look around... you'll see you got magic.

I didn't know how...deep love ran, how it was in your blood, not your heart, and how that same blood pumped through your veins your whole life.

When the waves are crazy, the land is prettier!

Neuter discourse is a false idol.

Mutual funds give people the sense that they're investing with the big boys and that they're really not at a disadvantage entering the stock market.
