Sometimes, literally within a few minutes, you'd be off this amazing roaring scene and back at your hotel room, staring at the patten of the wallpaper. It's very surreal. You're back in your room, and it's dead quiet and really weird.

Usually, the best thing is when the band goes to the bar and gets the corner table, we sit there like kings, and then they bring people to us. It's just rock 'n' roll. It's stupid, really.

The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.

What you aim for, in the first place, is to be as good as you can possibly be. This is what I do, and I'm going to try to be the best in the world.

It is not very practical in today’s world when you tour all over the place having a big band.

It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.

I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.
