Watch William Shatner Perform \u2018Ace of Spades\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\nHe continued: \u201cI\u2019m so enlivened. I\u2019m so filled with passion. I\u2019ve come to understand what heavy metal is \u2013 it\u2019s an energy that permeates your body and lifts you up. Heavy metal is the rhythm of life. It\u2019s overwhelming, especially if you\u2019ve got earphones in. \u2026 I\u2019m so excited about what I\u2019m performing. It\u2019s a real-life fervor happening for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shatner compared his concerns about performing live to the way an actor feels: \u201cThe actor\u2019s nightmare is being naked and not remembering your lines. Well, I\u2019m going to be dressed and I\u2019ll have help with the lines in the equipment.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the other part of that nightmare is being laughed offstage. \u2018Oh, what is he doing?\u2019 I\u2019m poised between being laughed off the stage and being lauded.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he said he was looking forward to delivering his interpretations of classic tracks. \u201cFor example, my interpretation of \u2018Enter Sandman\u2019 is it\u2019s a child molester that has written these lyrics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope it works. It\u2019s one of the most exciting performances that I\u2019ve ever done. When you don\u2019t do it the same way Metallica does it \u2014 imagine doing it like a nasty man who\u2019s got this child in the closet in your head: \u2018Touch my hand and we\u2019re off to never-neverland.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
