The best thing I ever heard was in the '60s. I heard Jimi Hendrix play 'I Can Hear The Grass Grow' after a rehearsal, and it was brilliant. ↗

I grew up on a lot of early Beatles, DC5, Cream, Clapton, Page, Beck and Hendrix. ↗

And in fact, one of the central reasons why I never got involved with any drugs or anything is that I remember talking to people in maybe 1975 who saw Hendrix but couldn't remember it. I was like, 'How could that be?' ↗

I consider the guitar a tool for the most part. I do pick up the acoustic now and then, I certainly don't have any routine. Usually the only time I practice is when the band gets together. Hendrix has always been one of my favorite players, but I was a sucker for Nugent in the late 1970's. ↗

When I came into Metallica, I had to do justice to Cliff's work, but I also had to put my own signature on it. No one could be Cliff Burton; Cliff Burton was the Jimi Hendrix of bass. ↗

We had no sleep or days off or anything like that and then, when the band became big, Hendrix became a star and looked down at us lot. ↗

I was listening to Jimi Hendrix; I just admire his artistry and creativity as an artist. ↗

The music of Hendrix wakes people up to their possibilities. It's more than just dreaming about being a guitar hero. ↗
