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

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.

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.

No society lies nearer to the cyclonic path of the forces of world change than the United States, and few societies are more intellectually aware of the nature of the issues that have to be faced

The one thing about players today is that they're very sensitive, and very fragile. They didn't grow up with tough coaches.

Music is on a higher plane than everything else in this world.

The roughest and toughest fighter I fought was Joe Frazier

I gather that the dopaminergic system in the reward centres of the brain respond even more vigorously to the expectation of reward than to reward itself. Hence, perhaps, the disappointment.

Never be afraid to let people go if they're not right; often that's the only way you can make room for the right person.
