"Playing acoustic guitar is like having sex with your clothes on - I mean, you know how to do it, but it's more difficult." - Dave Mustaine

Metallica's a much more melodic band than Megadeth. It'd be kinda like comparing Zeppelin to The Who, similar bands, yet different in their own ways. - HurricanTbag during a debate of Megadeth vs. Metallica

It's all right for you. All you got to do is go out there and look good, wiggle your ass, because nobody gives a fuck whether you miss a note or not! - John Bonham to Robert Plant during one of their good-natured arguments

I have an important message to deliver to all the cute people all over the world. If you're out there and you're cute, maybe you're beautiful. I just want to tell you somethin' — there's more of us UGLY MOTHERFUCKERS than you are, hey-y, so watch out - Frank Zappa

"Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.- John Bonham

I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf - Pete Townshend

I think of playing the drums like making love to a woman. Slow, deliberate and tasty way outshines fast bang any day of the week. And that is the reason I love Opeth. - MixGrafix of the Opeth forums.

We have a new album out called watershed who likes
*crowd cheers*
I said do you like it?!
*crowd cheers louder*
Does anyone here not like the new album?
*a few people cheer*
Guards, kill them; ---- Mikeal Akerfeldt of Opeth

We are heavy metal... but with some beautiful acoustic parts. Some people say that's pussy. Those are the people that get no pussy; - Mikeal Akerfeldt

If you don't know this one, you're a fucking cunt! - Mikeal Akerfeldt of Opeth introducing a song at Wacken Festival.
