I think we all appreciate it now just how lucky we are to be in a band like Judas Priest.

There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.

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

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.

Back in 1994 there was no Judas Priest.

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.

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