There's a lot of love in this room and I don't like it!"
"If you came for spandex, eye make-up and the words "ooh baby" in every song, you're at the wrong fucking show"
"We like to set off bombs."
"Authority pisses me off. I think everyone should be able to drink and get loud whenever they want."
"There is something powerful in Metallica, a will, a drive."
