I've always worn earplugs, but I'm sure my hearing's not great.

When I play a solo I'm just expressing that moment. It can go horribly wrong easily enough.

I have a couple of gold teeth. I had braces for a year but I didn't wear the retainer.

You might as well play at the show everyone else is playing at.

It's good to have certain restrictions sometimes, but it's definitely more fun to play really loud, with distortion.

I don't have any tattoos but I've thought about getting Ernie, from Bert and Ernie, on my earlobe. He made a big impression on me as a kid. And I have pretty big earlobes.

I enjoy having some boundaries to work within. That's why I generally don't like alternate tunings and stuff like that. I like the boundaries of regular tunings.
