Kirk Hammett Explains Metallica's Connection To Extreme Sports
. Hammett tells CBS Local: "Our music has an element of danger in it - it's not dangerous, but there's a certain element of danger. I think a lot of extreme athletes can relate to that. "Our music is the type that sees you through. Athletes want to experience a conclusion then listen to the next song. It helps them see to the end of whatever they're doing. It helps them know they'll make it through." But he adds: "When I'm out there surfing and there's a f***ing wave that's coming at me that's maybe 10 foot, the last thing I'm thinking about is music. I'm just thinking, 'I've got to be in the right position, I've got to be going a certain speed, I've got to catch this wave or else.' "For my own process I don't really think about any sort of music. That's just the way I am - when I go running I listen to podcasts." Check out the video here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
