I've never liked rehearsing too much.
All labels are offensive in some way.
You might as well play at the show everyone else is playing at.
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.
Generally my songs are just some riffs slung together as an excuse for a guitar solo.
I've always worn earplugs, but I'm sure my hearing's not great.
