I've always worn earplugs, but I'm sure my hearing's not great.
I have limited interests. I really like all sorts of gear. Guitar gear. Recording gear. Stuff like that. I like music, you know.
When I play a solo I'm just expressing that moment. It can go horribly wrong easily enough.
People have to do what they want to do.
I prefer cynical people. Nice guys grow on trees.
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.
