I write a lot of stuff, and some of it I don't even present to Judas Priest. But having said that, my first love is to play Judas Priest music.

Back in 1994 there was no Judas Priest.

Yeah, but on the U.S Tour we threw a new song into the set almost every night. Of course, you can't do too many new songs every night as they've never heard it.

I never took a lesson until I was 20, and I'm glad I had those years living the life of a normal person. I don't consider that time wasted.

You have to get to know your voice and its strengths and play on those. It took me quite a long time.

The hardest part is to travel, and to be away from your family.

I'm a married man and I've got two children, and you have to do sacrifices.
