The Strat covers the complete spectrum of human emotion .. the tremolo enables you to do anything - you can hit any note known to mankind

I try to become a singer. The guitar has always been abused with distortion units and funny sorts of effects, but when you don't do that and just let the genuine sound come through, there's a whole magic there.

I like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don't have too much of it.

I'm a very emotional person. If I've got something on my mind, that would stop me from giving my best.

A lot of solos I hear sound so incredible, but they sound like somebody practicing. They sound a bit soulless - fiery, but at the same time, lacking in spirit and soul.

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

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?
