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 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 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.

Don't expect people to always understand you. Instead, learn to understand them. Then Accept, Forgive & Love unconditionally. This is a sure way to be Happy.

I'm the parent. It's my job to be here for you, not the other way around.

To those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.

Agnosticism is the everlasting perhaps.

I refuse to indulge in small talk. And compliments, if at all, I save for after the job is done.

This is our world now The world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud.

We cannot walk alone.

Reach for the sky Keep your eye on the prize Forever in my mind Be my golden sunshine It's raining in your mind So push them clouds aside Forever by my side You're my golden sunshine

From such a gentle thing, from such a fountain of all delight, my every pain is born.

The one who has a good friend doesn't need any mirror.
