My favorite Extreme records were the last two. I can't listen to the first one.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

When 5150 came out rock was king. Post Nirvana and Pearl Jam 1996 is a different story.

You can tell the difference between songs that were created in a garage and songs that were created in the studio.

I sing in a higher register, and you haven't heard that on the radio in years.

I tried to stick with what I knew best, which is writing rock n' roll songs and melodies. I am as passionate as I was when I was 20.

I have had success throughout the years. Some of the hard rock bands today don't have the history that I have.
