Famous quotes by Kirk Hammett:

"I'm death obsessed. You know, I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!"

"I didn't want to fall into the trap of competing with all these other great guitar players. I just want to sidestep the whole thing and get out of the race."

"I would have to say I'm bored with the standard rock, guitar solos, but I've done it for five albums now, and this time I wanted to go in a completely different direction. I wasn't interested in showing off any more."

"We're the underdogs. We haven't had a top ten hit, and we look like a bunch of bums out there. Amidst all this glam, and this huge production, we're going to stick it out. But that's what we're here for - and that's what put us here in the first place."

"Kirk Hammett, lead guitar and attempted vocals"

"Guitar players in the nineties seem to be reacting against the technique oriented eighties."

"Just because you know umpteen billion scales, it doesn't mean you have to use them all in a solo."

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

"I'm very fortunate to be doing the thing I do best, which is play guitar. There aren't many other things I could do."

"I'm not into that whole Satanic thing. It's just something to fall back on if you don't have much imagination. Singing your fiftieth song about having lunch with Satan - I'm not into it. It's silly."

"Horror movies started to wane around the onset of World War II, and after World War II, when all the troops came home, people weren't really interested in seeing horror movies, because they had the real horror right on their front doorsteps."

"A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living."

"We wanted to offer something new to our audience. I hate it when bands stop taking chances."

"I think it's morally wrong to keep someone away from what keeps him happy."

"I love this pedal to death. The only way you could keep me from playing one is by chopping off my legs!"

"A lot of the main characters in horror movies are outsiders as well, so that outsider syndrome reverberates within horror fans and geeky collectors. It's kind of a rallying call that brings fans and collectors together who are a little socially retarded, maybe."

"I think it goes without saying that a lot of big horror fans are just nerds and geeks."

"I've been into horror movies ever since I was five years old."

"I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going. We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans."
