Every song is like a kid. How can you have that many kids and have a favorite? Which one do I like to hang most with?

It's always about the music, never about anything else.

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.

Most beginners want to learn lead because they think it's cool .. consequently, they never really develop good rhythm skills .. since most of a rock guitarists time is spent playing rhythm, it's important to learn to do it well .. learning lead should come after you can play solid backup and have the sound of the chords in your head

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 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 boil the strings so they stretch.
