00:00 It's difficult for me to comprehend that the only thing that you feel when you look back

00:07 on the last 20 years is rooted in the Metallica thing.

00:15 Okay.

00:16 I'll explain in as simple terms as I can, not to stultify you, but to just make it really

00:24 easy.

00:25 I had nothing.

00:26 Then I had everything.

00:27 Then I had nothing.

00:28 Then I had nothing again.

00:31 And it was okay going from nothing to everything to nothing, but then having someone stand

00:38 on the back of my head and keep me underwater made it even harder for me.

00:44 I've been erased from any involvement.

00:49 The quotes that I was never meant to be in here anyways, I was just filling a spot, I

00:53 was just a temporary guy, I was a fucking loser and a drunk, I got kicked out, all the

00:58 horrible things that were said immediately after my firing.

01:01 I agree, I should have been fired because I was dangerous because of my disease.

01:07 But watching for so many years the band continue to become successful and successful and successful

01:14 and us to never address the way that I was let go.

01:18 My God, Lars, you guys woke me up and said, "You know what?

01:21 You're out."

01:22 And I asked you, "What?

01:23 No warning?"

01:24 I said, "No second chance?"

01:31 And you guys said, "No, go."

01:35 Good God, man, I didn't get a chance.

01:38 And I've lived, and yeah, maybe for some people, you know, 18 years is a long time.

01:45 For me it seems like yesterday.

01:46 I woke up and I look up and I see the guys that I love, that are my extended family.

01:51 God, I remember, all I had was my mom, all I had was you and James.

01:58 We had dreams together and I sold everything to join that dream.

02:05 And then it ended.

02:11 And I agree with you for doing what you did because of the nature of the disease.

02:19 But don't kid yourself.

02:23 I mean, if there was ways to address what was going on, you know, with my problem.

02:38 And who I am sober is totally different from who I am drunk.

02:42 We never gave it a try.

02:44 We never gave it a chance.

02:47 Would it have worked?

02:50 As much as I loved being with you guys, I'm sure it would have.

02:55 And coming down to the part about the violence, you know, if someone, if I was at a party

03:03 and I saw someone hit you again, I'd break his leg again in a second.

03:07 That's just my nature.

03:09 I'm overprotective to the people that I love.

03:14 You know, and every time I see Phil, you know, I feel bad for him.

03:18 But I wasn't going to let him hurt you.

03:22 Who's Phil?

03:23 Sandoval from Armored Saint.

03:25 Don't you remember when he was breaking his leg?

03:27 I don't remember it was him.

03:28 I remember the incident on the road.

03:31 He pushed you down and he hurt you.

03:33 I made sure he didn't hurt you again.

03:38 I didn't fuck with my band members.

03:48 I had this clear vision, which I don't know if I've ever told you, but the night where

03:53 we decided to let you go a couple of days before we let you go and we played some show

03:58 and me and you were just sitting there and I think we were smoking some pot and being

04:03 very mellow and I just remember this clear vision of just being overwhelmed with sadness

04:09 and emotion about what was about to go down literally like eight hours after that.

04:15 Not saying in any way that I was not equally responsible for being part of making that

04:21 decision but at the same time feeling just an overwhelming sadness and guilt because

04:27 I really felt that when all the bullshit went away, a lot of the kind of the boasting and

04:31 the he-man and all that bullshit sort of went away, that you were a really tender person.

04:38 I felt that you had this really tender side to you that I was really attracted to and

04:43 really felt comfortable with.

04:46 I think that's always been there and that's why I think I sought you out.

04:54 I'm not mad at you, Lars.

04:59 I don't want anything from anybody.

05:03 I still have my dreams.

05:06 I'm glad that James is getting help.

05:10 I really am.

05:14 I wish that James was here.

05:17 I wish Cliff was here.

05:18 I wish that James was here.

05:19 I wish Cliff was here.

05:20 I wish Cliff was here.
