I don't have very eclectic tastes in music.

I think I'm a father, but a father of three kids! :)

The only thing I had in my mind [when I was 17 ] was that I was going to be a professional musician. So it was just the right environment.

If you bring somebody into the band you are going to be with them a lot whether it's in the studio, on the tour bus, or at dinner every night; you want somebody you enjoy being around. You don't want an annoying guy .

I would say the more the better when it is comes to development and marketing. It's actually fun. For some it can be a frustrating thing.

It's a balance between getting the right string gauge that's thick enough where it sound good, and not rubber bands - but not too thick where your hands start to get real tired.

If someone is feeling out of sorts or detached it's a great time to bring them in and restate why we are here and what we are trying to do.
