I love Usher's 'Confessions.'
There's a couple of fills on the 'Head Job' album. The title track sounds huge, I love it, and there's a few fills in there.
You know, I'm a fan of Laurie Anderson. One of my favorite records is 'The Ugly One With the Jewels,' a spoken-word record. It's an extraordinary album.
Our first album was kind of simple, but it had that fire, that energy that we have to have.
I want to make an album with just great beats and big vocals and just amazing lyrics.
I could do Rust In Peace again, but I don't want to. I could have followed that formula but, God, why? I would have to have done so much heroin and cocaine - and I wasn't going to. Not if I'm paying for it!
I really like 'Roar' and 'Dark Horse.' 'Dark Horse' I really like, and I feel I would sing that in the bathroom; I would buy that album, and I think Katy Perry's amazing!
My new album that I'm creating, which is finished pretty much, was written with this new instinctual energy that I've developed getting to know my fans. They protect me, so now it's my destiny to protect them.
I always say, 'Hey, I'm in Metallica, but I wasn't on the Black Album.'
The release date is just one day, but the record is forever.
'Purple Rain,' the album, is a great guitar record.
The phone started ringing when I dropped 'Whack World.'
There is one live track on the album, 'Einsamaller,' and that had a conductor - Eyvind Kang.
I have 'Purple Rain' on purple vinyl.
I would love to make an album full of ballads. For a listener, I want to have variety on there.
If you had a Ministry box set under your Christmas tree, wrapped in paper, 'From Beer to Eternity' is the bow that goes around the present, you know what I mean?
Sometimes with artists, I want to hear a few things before I buy the whole album.
If I have a hit, then I hope the people who like the hit song go out and buy my album so they can hear it all.

'Anthem' was the record that almost didn't get made for a completely different reason than 'Underneath.'
An instrumental album is something I've been wanting to do for a long time.
The Radiohead record, The Bends is my all-time favorite record on the planet.
I don't want to put 12 singles on an album. I want to make a story, a little movie.
The TV show 'How It's Made' brings the intricate details of assembly lines to numerous North American living rooms. But if the series were to ever branch into exposing the secrets of music production, Colin Stetson's 'New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges' would make for a mind-bending episode.
The first Vampire Weekend record was the first full-length album that I produced.
