James and the Giant Axe

“I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boat.” - James

In the fires of Rock

“We've stuck to our own beliefs, we haven't cheated anyone, and we've done what we

wanted.” – lars Ulrcih

“I'm very fortunate to be doing the thing I

do best, which is play guitar. There aren't many other things I

could do.” - Kirk Hammett

“Give me the fastest song you got. I'll take it.” – Robert Trujillo

Band’s I’ve Rocked Out With

Countries I’ve Jammed In

The 80’s“We're doing it our way, and how people like it is not

up to us. We like it.”

The 90’s“We don't sit and write music for the masses. We suck up a lot of what we see out there and then we write it for ourselves. Then a lot of people cling onto it.”

The 2000’s

“Our music comes from our hearts - And it always has.”

Dreamforce 2011!!

“Not bad for a snotty little thrash band from San Francisco, huh?”
