I'm just not a big fan of the too-cool-for-school indie world. metal bands have never been invited or been able to be part of the cool kids, and i like it that way.

More From Scott Ian

Cool is spent. cool is empty. cool is ex post facto. when advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. to move on. i want to suggest, therefore, that we begin to avoid cool now. cool is a trick to get you to buy garments made by sweatshop laborers in third world countries. cool is the triumph of the will. cool enables you to step over bodies. cool enables you to look the other way. cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.

I'm so happy and relieved for the indie spirited film world because ... i don't even know if it's indie, it's just alternative cinema that's just different than what the studios are doing and it's a big variety in that category. everyone always is complaining about the film industry but i think it's important to acknowledge when it's actually a pretty good time when that comes back around. i'd be remiss not to say, "hey, it's a pretty good era right now for these reasons," and maybe that doesn't last or maybe it does, but i will acknowledge it.

I always had a sense of people and would talk with them. i talk to my doorman. i talk to everybody i work with. i enjoy it. i like being part of a real life. i love dreams. i love glamour. i love being invited to great places. but i don't really care if i go, as long as i'm invited. i get invited to so many things, but i'd rather go have a hamburger or see a movie.

Even the shows or movies that we know are not going to change the world, i love this. i love 'em. i'm a movie fan. i'm a nerd of any kind. i love a big studio comedy as much as i love the teeniest tiniest of indie. i'm not a snob in that way. i really do like a big, big studio comedy.

I was never too interested in high school. i mean, i never went to a dance, i never went out on a date, i never went steady. it became pretty awful for me. except, of course, i could go see bands, and that was the kick. i used to go to cleveland just to see any band. so i was in love a lot of the time, but mostly with guys in bands that i had never met. for me, knowing that brian jones was out there, and later that iggy pop was out there, made it kind of hard for me to get too interested in the guys that were around me. i had, uh, bigger things in mind.

I like the old school heavy metal bands like ac/dc and aeromith. i like that type of music. as the director, i tried to influence the type of music the bands in the movie would play.

What do they teach them at these schools?

I'm old enough to remember when the air over american cities was a lot dirtier than it is now. you've probably never woken up early on a winter morning to the acid stink of coal smoke in the air, which was everywhere when i was a little kid. my grade school was heated with coal. not only was coal used to generate electricity, it was without any scrubbers in the stacks.

Dr. einstein was not successful in school, but he found something in the air from his own imagination and his own brain power, and look what he did.

You think school ends when it ends, but it doesn't.
