When I was growing up and listening to bands like the Dave Clark Five, the groove was what initially got me going. I really like that funky, heavy groove.

I played 'Eruption' two times for the record, and we kept the one that seemed to flow ... there's a mistake at the top end of it whenever I hear it, I always think, Man I could've played it better ... but I like the way it sounds. I'd never heard a guitar sound like that before.

I just consider myself slightly left-of-center. I'm not your average bear. I - what's the word? I'm not - normal.

The piano is a universal instrument. If you start there, learn your theory and how to read, you can go on to any other instrument.

I wanted a Gibson type sound, but with a Strat vibrato ... I bought a body from Charvel for $50.00 and a neck for $80.00 - I slapped it together, put an old Gibson PAF in it and painted it up with the stripes

I have selective hearing.

I'm just a normal schmo like anyone else.
