There's too many good musicians around for the music around for the business to be sagging.

But if you want me to knock Kingdom Come, all I will say is that I heard the guitarist said he'd never heard my playing, and I'd defy any guitarist in American not to have heard Led Zeppelin.

There is far more sensitivity in acoustic guitar players than could ever be compared to any synthesizer. That's a personal point of view but that's the way I see it. I think that's what it's all about. The drive, the fire, the passion - it all comes out on the guitar.

You absorb so much from whatever your environment is, as an artist, and you learn to take from it what can help you create.

I can only listen to what I'm working on, at the time. I can't listen to anything else because I don't want to copy it.

Actually, I'm getting one made up with eight necks and I'm going to get a wheelwright to make a big rim around it and then I can do cartwheels off the stage.

So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.
