Rock stars come and go. Musicians play until they die.

Eventually you'll take the phrases and rhythm patterns you've copped and begin to put your own mark on them

I was trying to take the band in a direction that I thought was appropriate, and Roth was trying to take the band in more of a Las Vegas direction. And there he is.

Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.

I applied to Uncyclopedia Bassists, and was accepted!!

I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland.

Obviously you have to have rhythm. If you have rhythm, then you can play anything you need. If you have rhythm and you love music, then play and play and play until you get to where you want to get. If you can pay the rent, great. If you can't, then you'd better be having fun.
