I suggested back in 1980 to do a chronological live album, but there wasn't that much enthusiasm for it.

I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

I deal in emotions. It's the harmonic side that's important. That's the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I've got to keep at it.

I do not worship the devil. But magic does intrigue me. Magic of all kinds. I bought Crowley's house to go up and write in. The thing is, I just never get up that way. Friends live there now.

Once I get onstage the tension explodes and I'm fine. I'm in another world - in a trance almost, doing what I love best, expressing myself through guitar.

The way I see it, rock & roll is folk music. Street music. It isn't taught in school. It has to be picked up.

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.
