My mom always encouraged me, it was never weird. She'd look at 'Heavy Metal' and go 'Woo-hoo!'

I really felt like we were gonna be The Rolling Stones of heavy metal, and we could have been.

It kills me when I see some metal band trying to pass themselves off as an 'alternative band.'

There is nothing more, I guess, cannibalistic than the metal or the hard rock scene, it seems.

I just think that a metal band covering a bunch of metal songs is so boring, so 'done before.'

You're better off being a brick layer if you're going to play guitar than a sheet metal worker.

As always, my influences are diverse and not what you might expect from a 'heavy metal' artist.

We're definitely a metal band. We push a lot of boundaries. But at the core we're a metal band.

The guitar influence that affected my songwriting came from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

I just felt like I'd rather listen to even the worst metal song more than most current pop music.

The Backstreet Boys are easy; they're cream. And then here we are, this nine-piece metal militia.

Metal fans are just as compassionate and caring and tolerant as any other form of music fans are.

The best indication is that I still love to ski on most anything, from skating gear to heavy metal.

I think stuff on the radio is mostly good, but it's just not what I'm into. I'm not into rap metal.

It's about putting the pedal to the metal and not asking any questions at all and just going for it.

For me, it is incredible to hear singers in the metal scene telling me I had been their inspiration.

I ended up buying a restaurant. Already we had invested in a gas station and a metal products plant.

The last fight for the white metal is to be made here in this country and in this House, my friends.

I think there's a lot of death metal or doom metal dudes that somehow or another find a groove in it.

We are aiming to create a one and only new music genre that exceeds the limits of pop and metal music.

The numbers in women in rock 'n' roll and metal are pretty much growing a lot, which is a great thing.

I remember when metal was something you really had to search out, and now I hear it on car commercials.

What puts people off metal is they think it's all nutters and blood. We don't want to be seen that way.

I have found in black metal the lyrics are profoundly beautiful... a pathos and mythos at the same time.

Our sound is really hard metal but looks cute, and in some parts of the song the lyrics are really cute.

Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.

I would like to teach Metallica our dance moves, just because we've learned so much from them about metal.

Every player has the option to have metal spikes or other spikes or whatever they feel most comfortable in.

There's a great deal of poetry in working out how things work, cutting bits of metal, trying to mend stuff.

First and foremost, just to work alongside an icon like Rob Halford, the Metal God, was absolutely surreal.

Obviously, there's not as much flex in a wood bat as in a metal bat, so I'm still trying to adjust to that.

I was really into metal when I was growing up. It was just something I thought I could do and wanted to try.
