Whether I sound like Sammy or not is purely coincidence. You have got to hand it to him, he sings his ass off. There is no moss on that stone.

I think there are some good players coming up. I think we are at a point where people can swallow a guitar solo in a pop rock record again.

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

You have Extreme and Van Halen and the history that I have with other people I played with. There are some effects that will hopefully break that stereotype.

I am a big Pink Floyd fan. That is where a lot of the concept lyrics come from.

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

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