Metal Quotes

“Genya—” David tried.
“Don’t you dare,” she said roughly, tears welling up again. “You never looked at me twice before I was like this, before I was broken. Now I’m just something for you to fix.”
I was desperate for words to soothe her, but before I could find any, David bunched up his shoulders and said, “I know metal.”
“What does that have to do with anything?” Genya cried.
David furrowed his brow. “I … I don’t understand half of what goes on around me. I don’t get jokes or sunsets or poetry, but I know metal.” His fingers flexed unconsciously as if he were physically grasping for words. “Beauty was your armor. Fragile stuff, all show. But what’s inside you? That’s steel. It’s brave and unbreakable. And it doesn’t need fixing.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

“Pop and metal aren't friends. Each knows exactly where the other lives and tries to keep its distance. They choose different streets, neighborhoods, zip codes.”
― Dave Mustaine, Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir

“I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins.
Never did I wanna be here again,
And I don't remember why I came.”
― Sully Erna

“Waddya want me to do? through my sling shot at him?”
― Hughes

“Searching for nothing
Wondering if I’ll change
I’m trying everything
But everything still stays the same
I thought if I showed you I could fly
Wouldn’t need anyone by my side
I'm running backwards
With broken wings I know I’ll die”
― Sully Erna

“By any rights, he should be dead. He was involved in an explosion with a bomb, which he happened to be carrying at the time. Conrad is something of a scientific miracle. There are more than thirty metal pins in his body. He has a metal plate in his skull. There are metal wires in his jaw and in most of his major joints."
"He must set off a lot of airport alarms," Alex muttered.”
― Anthony Horowitz, Skeleton Key

“its always do this do that everthing they want i dont want to live that way every chance they get there always pushin me away”

“I let that swim around in my aching head for a few minutes - "the arsenal of megadeath...the arsenal of megadeath" - and then, for some reason I can't quite explain, I began to write. Using a borrowed pencil and a cupcake wrapper, I wrote the first lyrics of my post-Metallica life. This song was called "Megadeth" (I dropped the second "a"), and though it would never find its way onto an album, it did serve as the basis for the song "Set the World Afire." It hadn't occured to me then that Megadeth-as used by Senator Cranston, megadeath referred to the loss of one million lives as a result of nuclear holocaust-might be a perfectly awesome name for a thrash metal band.”
― Dave Mustaine, Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir

“I went there anyway-knowingly, willingly-because I wanted a number one hit. I wanted what Metallica had, even if it meant selling a piece of my soul to the devil.”
― Dave Mustaine, Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir

“That's certainly the roots of heavy metal. That whole sense of revolution and wanting to be powerful is definetly a puberty thing. Fans don't have to be offended by that. Everybody goes through it. That's why heavy metal is so powerful.”
― Ian Christe, Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal

“Eddie is Iron Maiden's mascot, monster, alter ego - call it what you will. Part supernatural, part primal, part aggressive adolescent, Eddie is a super anti-hero with no backstory. Eddie doesn't give a fuck. He just is.

Eddie also gets us off the hook as individuals. Eddie is far bigger and more outrageous than any badly behaved superstar. Eddie makes rock stars obsolete. This comes in handy when you get to your late fifties and rather fancy a quiet night in after playing to 25,000 screaming metal fans.”
― Bruce Dickinson, What Does This Button Do?: An Autobiography

“Yet, the light outside is not the same.
It ticks with madness,
expelled by angry bodies.
Natural light has been
outshone by the fire
of angry, wrathful metal.

So we hide, away from war
and the comforting faces
we once shared our lives with.”
― Susan L. Marshall, All the Hope We Carry

“One day, he’s going to push Kel too far and we’re all going to watch his metal guts get strewn across the castle. And the worst part is that his body will be so mutilated, we won’t ever know what he looks like, even after his death.”
― Elizabeth Helen, Bonded by Thorns

― Criss Jami

“Esta música ha sido algo gigantesco, se ha esparcido a lo largo del mundo indistintamente del idioma o la cultura de los países, ha sido la voz de muchos que no han tenido la oportunidad de hablar, ha sido la
forma de conectar con muchas personas que al igual que yo, amamos esta música que viene con guitarras, cuero y tachas, y si somos honestos es muy probable que se encuentre algo de ella en cualquier esquina del mundo si saben buscar en los lugares correctos.”
― Andrés Brenes Vega

“Por muchos años el Heavy Metal ha sido condenado y desprestigiado en la sociedad por ser algo fuera de lo común y poco civilizado, pero con cada año que pasa, desde 1970 se consagra su legado como el
género musical que más ha sido capaz de resistir a los cambios de la industria musical, las modas, las filosofías y el paso del tiempo de generación en generación, también gracias a que las bandas a lo largo del mundo le han añadido su propia identidad, ya hoy en día existen muchas vertientes como: el Power Metal, Thrash Metal, Death Metal,
Death & Roll, Black Metal, Metal Gótico, Metal Alternativo, Metal Progresivo, Metal Industrial; y a lo que entendemos por su vigencia todavía en los años 2020s puede que no falte mucho tiempo para que exista una nueva versión más actualizada y más innovadora, como el llamado Trap Metal, que podría o no llegar a ser como lo fue en su tiempo el Nu Metal a finales de los noventas e inicios de los años 2000.”
― Andrés Brenes Vega

“Me gusta ver el mundo de una manera diferente, en mi cabeza existen dos tipos de personas, los roqueros apasionados por su música y todos los demás. Es muy probable que para que estén leyendo estas líneas no sean del segundo grupo, y si lo son, podrán tener acceso a los “porqués”, el “cómo”, y los “para qué” de este mundo que, aunque parece muchas veces aterrador y lleno de obscuridad, siempre tiene su propia luz, su cultura, su idiosincrasia y sobre todo mucha lealtad de corazón.”
― Andrés Brenes Vega

“Iron is wrapped around all four of their wrists, connecting them together, joining the couple. It’s tradition, the dragon metal crafted to wind around both their wrists and forearms so many times you can’t tell whose iron is whose. It’s how the phrase “metals shouldn’t mix” was popularized. Because if the metals were different then everyone could clearly see the individual’s metal separate from their partner. No unity. One would always be more powerful than the other, straining the relationship. Yet, I imagine gold and silver encasing Farren’s and my wrists one day.”
― Dana Swift, When Dealing With Dragons
