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.

I do hear snippets on the radio. I do hear a little bit of me, sometimes great chunks of me. But I have to take that as a compliment; there's no way you can get sour grapes about that. But if somebody starts taking your whole new thing lock, stock, and barrel, and do their own version of it before you do it, that's not on.

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?

If you were to plot my success or failure, it goes, it very seldom stays on a high plateau.

Things turn out better by accident sometimes. But you can't organize accidents.

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.

I've never stuck around long enough to know if anyone would miss me. That's rock 'n' roll, though. Here today, gone tomorrow.
