I'm a hopeless tone chaser!I love it and get into the whole thing.

Going to the Grammys, being nominated for a Grammy, that was a really big deal for me, for us as a band.

Stay focused when you're playing alive, so you're not distracted by something going on.

Since I'm in a band, and I'm not usually in situations where I need to read, it doesn't come up as often, and I don't rely on it as much.

Guitar players get inward and analytical about their playing but when you start to get positive feedback from other players it makes you think that it is coming together.

The style of music that we're playing, this progressive metal style, has always been an upstream battle for us. We don't usually get a lot of commercial exposure.

Music is a communication. It's a two-way street. You need people to play to in order to make that connection complete. That's the way we look at it.
