METALLICA-Fronter James Hetfield, BLACK SABBATH-Sänger Ozzy Osbourne und VELVET REVOLVER-Gitarrist Slash haben im amerikanischen Rolling Stone ihre zehn Lieblingssongs vorgestellt:
»James Hetfield:
01. Free Bird – LYNYRD SKYNYRD
James Hetfield: "Nothing tops this workingman's ballad. 'Free Bird' fit my life for the first 20 years on the road — not really getting too attached to stuff, living life for the moment and moving on."
02. Stairway To Heaven – LED ZEPPELIN
James Hetfield: "When I first got a guitar, I figured out the first couple of fingerings to this, and I ran around the house saying, 'Check it out — I can play this!' My family was like, 'Where's the rest of the song?'"
03. Jailhouse Rock – ELVIS PRESLEY
James Hetfield: "I remember seeing that video of him jumping around behind bars with all his buddies. It encapsulates rebellion, which is really just misguided creativity."
04. Behind Blue Eyes – THE WHO
James Hetfield: "This song had all that teen angst bubbling under it. It's about asking for help but not really wanting it. Reminds me a lot of me."
05. Candle In The Wind – ELTON JOHN
James Hetfield: "'Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting' was more my style, but few songs can top this melody."
06. God Only Knows – THE BEACH BOYS
James Hetfield: "I got on a BEACH BOYS kick again about six months ago. I gew up in Southern California; to me, this songs speaks to a higher power."
07. Yesterday – THE BEATLES
James Hetfield: "It instantly connected with me. It makes you think, but not too gard."
08. Black Sabbath – BLACK SABBATH
James Hetfield: "This song scared the shit out of me. It's beyond heavy."
09. Smells Like Teen Spirit – NIRVANA
James Hetfield: "When all that Eighthies hair metal was getting overproduced, NIRVANA came along with this thrashy garage sound and a huge hook. It was what music needed."
10. The Boys Are Back In Town – THIN LIZZY
James Hetfield: "Phil Lynott was never afraid to write from the heart, even if it was a little corny. THIN LIZY inspired a lot of METALLICA's guitar harmonies."
Ozzy Osbourne:
01. A Day In The Life – THE BEATLES
Ozzy Osbourne: "It takes me back to a magical time in my life."
02. Imagine – JOHN LENNON
Ozzy Osbourne: "This song will never get old for me."
03. Live And Let Die – PAUL MCCARTNEY AND WINGS
Ozzy Osbourne: "A fucking great song. I Love it!"
04. Money – PINK FLOYD
Ozzy Osbourne: "Reminds me of my LSD days. I'm glad I survived"
05. Mississippi Queen – MOUNTAIN
Ozzy Osbourne: "This one brings back memories of my very first U.S. tour with BLACK SABBATH."

Ozzy Osbourne: "Hands down one of the greatest songs ever written."

Ozzy Osbourne: "I would have loved to have heard the working-title version, 'Scrambled Eggs'."

Ozzy Osbourne: "Great melody. Great lyrics. Great song. I love Elton John!"

Slash: "A great ZEPPELIN riff."
03. Helter Skelter - THE BEATLES

Slash: "I used to play this with one of those ridiculous old-school Panasonic tape recorders pressed to my ear."

Slash: "One of the heaviest riffs ever recorded."
