To get my sound in the studio, I double guitar tracks, and when it gets to the lead parts, the rhythm drops out, just like it's live. I'm very conscious of that.

I was lucky enough to get to see guys like Bugs Henderson, Jimmy Wallace, all those great Texas blues players.

Pantera is the only band I've ever been in, and at the start we used to play covers to make a living.

I would just listen to records and learn what I could, then just roll it over and over and over.

I got home, picked up my ax, turned on the four-track and just played it ... I played three solos back to back on Cemetery Gates ... the next morning, the second and third solos weren't bad, but the first had that first take magic ! .. I didn't touch it.

The worst advice I ever received from my dad was to play by the book.

Every song is different.
