:49:09
It's really heaIthy for me to be here
without any pressure
:49:15
or anything related to the band
:49:18
or anyone who would
remind me of the band,
:49:23
and, uh, recognize what's real.
:49:30
Our sessions with Phil really
stirred up a lot of things in James
:49:36
that he feIt
that he needed to address.
:49:41
Mentally, it's really taken its toll
on myself, you know,
:49:45
'cause I'm very worried about him.
:49:49
And, you know,
whenever you check yourself into rehab,
:49:55
they don't focus on, you know,
the fact that you're an alcoholic.
:50:00
They go much deeper.
You know?
:50:02
l mean, they go way deep.
They crack you open,
:50:05
and then spill you out and examine
all the things that are on the table.
:50:11
l've spoken to him a few times,
and, you know,
:50:17
l know he's having a rough trip.
:50:22
No matter how bad it gets,
:50:26
eventually, things seem
to sort themselves out.
:50:30
Sooner or later.
:50:34
Whether it's good or bad,
they sort themselves out.
:50:41
l watch the people around the world
say what a great guitar player Kirk is,
:50:46
and what a piece of shit I am.
:50:49
And that I got kicked out
of Metallica.
:50:53
And I wasn't good enough for them.
And that I was a loser.
:50:58
And l've had to deal
with that for almost 20 years.
