“ I do [love Lars]. There’s no doubt that we were put together on this journey for a reason. We hooked up and, like my wife and I, opposites do attract and it’s a never-ending battle. We’ve got this chemistry that works even though resentments get in the way, and we can’t see it sometimes. There’s an agitation, a friction, a spark that just happens. „

“When you see a sprinter running he looks really bunched and tight and focused, but you see slow motion footage of him and his jaw is swinging and he looks really loose! He’s swinging as fast as he can, but he has that looseness to him. That’s what guitar playing is like. You can’t be super tight…

“ My rhythm gods are Tony Iommi, Rudolf Schenker and Malcolm Young - guys who just keep it steady. Thi Misfits, too and even the Ramones with their simplicity. It’s all down-picking! Watch some footage of Johnny Ramone and you’ll go, ‘Wow!’ „

metallicamadness:

“Some of the Black Sabbath stuff didn’t have a lot of speed to it; it was big single-note riffs, all about the left hand bending. The right hand for me came more about as a challenge due to having two guitar players in the early days, first with Dave and then with Kirk. It was a challenge to see…

Question - you have an unusual way of holding your pick using your thumb, Index and middle fingers, as opposed to just your thumb and index finger…
