(Classic Rock) Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian has described meeting Paul McCartney as like "being in the presence of a god." He's only encountered the Beatles icon once, but remembers being blown away by the experience. He also reports that spending time with Jimmy Page, Ronnie James Dio and Gene Simmons have a huge effect on him.

Ian tells Mulatschag: "I got to meet Paul McCartney one time. I didn't have a conversation, but I shook his hand. It's the closest I could compare to, like, gods that are walking the earth with us.

"Granted, I know they're just humans that f***ing bleed the same color I do, but the sh*t they've done and they've experienced in their lifetimes, it just can't be touched."
