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 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.

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 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.

Any society which enjoins its members to adhere to both of these (politeness and truth) is a fraud.

One of the most exciting things in life is when you can’t get enough of learning something you love.

I'm a hacker, but I'm the good kind of hackers. And I've never been a criminal.

God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won't.

It's a great freedom to give up on love, and get on with everything else.

You can say you're a liberal and everybody laughs and it's a good time.

As long as I can wear a wig I can be any character, and in real life I can be myself.

Joe Berlinger's documentary 'Whitey' is so hard-hitting and compelling, you can't take your eyes off the screen.

The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.

You can't escape the influence of architectural history.
