I had to teach myself to let go of the conventional rock way of playing guitar and singing. Some things you wouldn't expect to work, did and some things won't ever work.

There's something about losing friends, particularly young people, where it's not something that you get over. I don't believe there's a healing process.

Radio and TV can still push a band, but things need to be shaken up. There is the Internet, but mostly what I see there is little kids on YouTube playing music.

It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.

Led Zeppelin is just a bunch of stupid idiots who wrote cool riffs.

If you are trying to think ahead musically, it is not going to help you. It is better to ignore what is happening melodically and just look at the little dots coming at you and the corresponding colors and try to do it at the right time.

My brother brought home 'At San Quentin' when I was about 7, and we played it over and over again.
