"[...] It's hard to choose just one album Metallica have done. But I will go for Ride The Lightning. One of the reasons is that I love James Hetfield's vocals on this. I recall that it was about this time a lot of people were urging Metallica to get a new singer. But I always defended his vocals, because they worked so well with the material. He is so real and authentic, and has lots of charisma. 

When I first saw him I must admit to being a little in love with James, and I did get to know him quite well. But nothing ever happened between us! I simply admire him as a singer and live performer."
