I'm really interested in knowing this guy's type, I saw him typed here as IEI, IEE, SEI.
Here are some of his quotes:
- Basically I just had to say, "Screw everyone around me - from now on I'm just gonna play what I think is important to me and our music." So I gave the big finger to all the current trends in technical wizardry, and just went off and did what I felt was best for the songs.
- James always wanted to be perceived as this guy who is very confident and strong. And for him to write lyrics like that - showing a sensitive side - took a lot of balls. (about his SLI friend).
- Everyone has a side to them that's kind of unexplained and feels misunderstood.
- A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.
- 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.
- 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 feel really fortunate that, in playing guitar and surfing, I've found two things that mean so much to me, and which really complement each other. There's definitely a spiritual thing to both of them; they totally connect you to a higher realm.
- I was really, really wild in my early twenties and a bit self-destructive.
- Metallica is a very complicated, fragile thing. On the outside, it's all metal, but on the inside it's very delicate.

So, even more SeFi than SeTi to me, since SEI would typically rather stay in the middle, neither too good nor too bad.
