I grew up on a lot of early Beatles, DC5, Cream, Clapton, Page, Beck and Hendrix.

Sometimes I just want to lick David Lee Roth in the nuts

The one thing I do have is good ears. I don't mean perfect pitch, but ears for picking things up. I developed my ear through piano theory, but I never had a guitar lesson in my life, except from Eric Clapton off of records.

My son, Wolfgang, plays drums, guitars and bass.

Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me.

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

Bass is for people who can't play guitar
