When I'm on stage the savage in me is released. It's like going back to being a cave man. It takes me six hours to come down after a show.

I don't like to play above or below people's heads. Basically, I just like to get up in front of a crowd and rip it up.

Soloing was pretty easy for me because it was probably the first thing I've ever done.

I remember one of the first gigs I played with that amp was at a local church. They wanted someone to fill in with the guitar and my friend say, 'Ah, he can play.' And so I dragged the amplifier down and started playing and everybody started yelling 'turn it down!'

I honestly believe that you have to be able to play the guitar hard if you want to be able to get the whole spectrum of tones out of it. Since I normally play so hard, when I start picking a bit softer my tone changes completely, and that's really useful sometimes for creating a more laid-back feel.

I never bothered with cars. I was probably one of the few kids in school who didn't run around with hot-rod magazines. As I would be at home fiddling with my guitar, they would be fiddling with a car engine.

My part in AC/DC is just adding the color on top.
