After I saw Jimmy [Hendrix] play, I just went home and wondered what the f*** I was going to do with my life.

I play the way I do cause it allows me to come up w/ the sickest sounds possible. That's the point now isn't it?

London is a dead duck, as far as innovative new music is concerned, unless you want to have your head blown off with some outrageous, rubbish, pounding dance music.

Nowadays music is as disposable as a McDonald's wrapper.

I don’t care about the rules. In fact, if I don’t break the rules at least ten times in every song, then I’m not doing my job properly. Emotion is much more important than making mistakes, so be prepared to look like a chump. If you become too guarded and too processed, the music loses its spontaneity and gut feeling

When Jazz broke through in England, I remember sneaking to listen on the radio much to my parent's disapproval.

I don't understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound. Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off.
