    I dont like to have role models, but James is the only one that makes me have sort of one. With his wins and losses. I mean how you cant like the dude here in this interview, he is freaking kind and pleasant and honest. Just like I met him back in '98.

    Fun fact I met James and Lars in 1984 in my old neighborhood in Chicago known as West Ridge. They were so chill and asked if we had any booze or drugs. We had both so we drank a 5th of vodka and smoked some pot with them. They asked if we were going to be at the show and we were. Great experience. Saw them again after the show at the Aaragon Ballroom. Super chill dudes.

    I'm born and raised in Chicago in 1965 and I was hardcore Metallica when they FIRST came out and when I bought Kill em All it was on vinyl and not nostalgia motivated. C.D.s where around but it took a while for them to eliminate albums and I got sober 16 years ago myself and it's cool to see the success Aerosmith, Steve Tyler and Elton John, and the greatest guitarist to ever live old Slow hand Eric
    Clapton has had after getting sober.
