I've got the luxury to tailor make the songs so I can sing them.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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