I've discovered that sheer quantity doesn't necessarily make for a heavier sound; if anything, overdubs make guitars sound mushier.

I love playing the melodic stuff. I love adding textures and colors.

Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.

Aqualung is one that my brother turned me onto. It wasn't that hard-rocking, but Martin Barre had a really good sound. He knew what he was doing.

The band? No way! There ain't no band. The band is not 'the band' right now. It's just three guys.

You want to hear vocals? Go sing it.

Music is the soundtrack to my life.
