I had a feeling it was gonna work out because not only did I enjoy the music and hit it off with the guys, but I was into theatrical rock and was willing to wear makeup and do anything to make it.

I believe that the only way that the human race is gonna survive is to start colonizing space and setting up colonies on the moon, and then space stations.

As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.

When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off.

If I had known I would influence so many guitarists, I would have practiced more.

Finding a good band is Iike finding a good wife. You got to keep trying till you find the right one.

One thing I love to do is produce. I've produced a couple of bands. I mean, nothing ever really happened with 'em, but I enjoy getting a young band into the studio and guiding them, and making them feel at ease.
