In the '90s, guitar solos were dead.

I don't want to be that parent that puts my kids into what I think they should be in, you know what I mean?

My kids are now the most popular kids in their school.

The hits always wind up being the songs with big, high choruses. They're the ones too high to sing every night - not that you'll ever, ever hear me complain about having to try.

Maybe some people thought I was 'safe' so they didn't really bothered to vote for me at all.

I don't want to say I can't wait to get back to normal life, because I don't. I don't want to get back to normal life.

For me, something will come in my head and I'll either end up calling my cell phone to record it, or I'll just pick my guitar up and see what comes out. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it doesn't. So there's really no set method behind it.
