My vocal ability is very limited, but I'm fortunate in that I can write the songs around my vocal limitations.

In my first bands I was a singing guitar player, but if you heard any of those songs you wouldn't describe me as a singer. But I can make it work.

Back in 1994 there was no Judas Priest.

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

A lot of bands that reunite do it for the wrong reasons. They do it for the bucks and everybody can sense it.

We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It's a joy to be able to do it.

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.
