I watched a documentary they made about themselves... Only went there because two band colleagues ask me if i wanna come. In one scene he stands in front of a 4mx4m painting he is going to auction off. Some colors smeared over black foundation, ugly as hell if you'd ask for my irrelevant opinion. Sipping a drink he says: "Sometimes i stand here and ask myself: 'What did the artist think when he made it?'"

Slayers' drummer Dave Lombardo said about his colleague Kerry King: "He is the dumbest person i know."

You don't have to be smart, your ego problems figured out or a likeable personality to make great music.

Narcissim plays its part too. I think actually is okay to want to be admired by others by accomplishing great things. I think it is a biological urge to attract a mate. Doseage makes the poison though.
