It was about working with other musicians, but more than that it's about exploring musical areas that you could never do with the band you're in, in my case Judas Priest. You could tackle musical areas and lyrical areas that wouldn't be appropriate for Priest.

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

Shortly after that, we got management problems over in England, and Judas Priest asked me to join.

Back in 1994 there was no Judas Priest.

If you're not enjoying yourself, you can't really look as if you are.

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

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