Kirk Hammett Metallica Quotations

I've learned that there's a signature Metallica sound, and if we stray too far from that, our fans get impatient, or they just don't understand, or they miss the point. And I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing; it's just something we have to contend with.

My guitars are my umbilical cord. They're directly wired into my head.

Metallica is a very complicated, fragile thing. On the outside, it's all metal, but on the inside it's very delicate.

We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.
