| "If I could ask James Hetfield one question, I'd ask him, James, why are you so angry? I'd ask him, James, Het, Mr. Hetfield, whoever you are, what is it that torments you? What pain do you have locked away deep inside of you that it shines so brightly through every crack and chip? I'd ask him, James, what does it feel like to write such beautiful poetry, to rip yourself open, and have people - your fans - slap you in the face because it's too beautiful... It's silly, really, how someone you've never even met can be such a big part of you. Not just to me, but to anybody who's ever really listened to Metallica with open ears. His words penetrate. They dig deep to the core. His voice is like the hammer that drives the final nail home." -- Anonymous Letter |
