I grew up listening to albums by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, and they all worked on that multi-layered level.

I'm as obsessive with health as I was with destruction.

I'm either shooting nine grams of coke a day or spending two hours at the gym. There's no middle ground.

And I've also come to the conclusion that, as far as guitar solos and things like that are concerned, it's more important to complement the music rather than take away from it.

I wish I was a shredder that could play everything, but I don't have the patience.

I've always been a fan of music where you can hear new things each time you listen.

I'm thrilled I have the opportunity to do the Spread show and have the terrific sponsors that we work with like Nikon or Verizon.
