Quote #44
'I met Lars through an ad in Recycler, a local classified ads newspaper, the ad read 'Looking for a guitar player influenced by Motorhead and Iron Maiden'. I called the ad and told him some of the bands I liked, and I mentioned Budgie, and Lars said, 'Fuck man, you like Budgie!' (mimicking Lars' Danish accent). So I went to his house and sat in his bedroom and we smoked a little pot next to a huge stack of Danish pornography and licorice, and I thought 'This is interesting for a teenager to have this much Danish porno', but I didn't ask any questions. And then I remembered Lars introducing James to me as their singer, and I looked at James and thought 'Aren't frontmen supposed to be sexy?'' -on joining Metallica
