I don't care about the rules, if I don't break the rules at least 10x every song then I'm not doing my job.

Some are skeptical. My mom thought the guitar was going to fizzle out in two weeks, that it was just a fad-and that was in 1958.

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

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.

Can't stand it. Too many amps, too much volume, it's just flat-out ear assault. Speedy guitars leave me not feeling detached but physically upset. When you think of all the subtleties that were built into the guitar and amps for you to discover they completely cover the whole lot with a rack of effects. The guitar doesn't need that.

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