The higher you are, the farther you fall, the longer the walk, the farther you crawl.
(Dear kirk hammet, what kind of vegitarian are you? a lactose vegitarian, a ovum vegitarian, or a vegan?) James: Hes an ovum voodoo space vegan.
Live to win, dare to fail.
Rap is just to me very annoying.
Don't look back, because that's the sign of failure.
Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
Music is the soundtrack to my life.
I'd much rather talk about guitar playing. I hate it when people ask me about my lyrics. I always feel like telling them to just go and read them.
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle.
If everyone was the same, it would be boring as sh*t
I'm married to Metallica.
Trios aren't really geared for slide unless you're gonna play chords, or play that simple George Thorogood style. It gets pretty thin when you play single note lines.
Deceit, Deceive, Decide just what you believe... I see faith in your eyes, Never you hear the discouraging lies. I hear faith in your cries... Broken is the promise, Betrayal... The healing hand held back by the deepened nail... Follow the god that failed.
Metallica is the world to me - it always has been, and that's not going to change. I'm married to Metallica.
