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.

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.

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

Too much down time makes us miss home.

Sadly, I've seen a lot of bands hit that sort of peak and then eventually start supporting again, you know, which we will never do. We always put a lot of thought into the way that we are going to go, and we always change.

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