I got really, really sick with a horrible disease called transverse myelitis; I lost my legs. I couldn't play anymore. It was a form of multiple sclerosis, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I lie more with drums and the more heavy and darker aspects of music.

The simplest beats, on what rock music or any music has been formed on, can be the toughest beats to execute and perform, because it's really easy to not respect a simple 4/4 beat, because people always want to play fast.

My advice always is to start very simple and master your timing and master the most simple beats that you can, and you just keep elevating from that.

Without Metallica, we wouldn't have a lot of the bands that we have now.
