Describing certain sounds, there's a common language that guitar players have.

It's probably listening to country music that got me to start playing a lot cleaner, not as distorted.

The Beatles just changed everything right across the board. They just had that right combination of clean-cut good looks - a cute band - but under that they had a real rock n roll thing going on.

I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.

I don't think there's anything anybody's doing that the Beatles didn't at least try at some point.

The really pop country stuff can sound a little bland because they put in strings and horns and all of that.

Five years after Aerosmith got back together, I realized how fragile we are as humans. There was a time I thought we were bulletproof, but then things happened and I came to the realization that I had to play every gig as if it was my last show. You have to start thinking that way, because you never know what's going to happen next.
