I do a lot of the stuff that I started out doing that I think any guitar player that's concerned about the craft needs to do. It's basic practicing of the basic elements. I try to practice like a well rounded regiment of things where I can kind of do whatever I wanna do and I also have to practice the actual songs to keep that under my fingers as well.

Obviously [Black] Sabbath is definitely a huge name and of course deserving with Ozzy coming back.

Jordan Ruddes does [have a home studio], but it's all self-contained. I'll be the only guy with a fully built recording studio. So they'll have to come to me.

I know we play a part in the story of progressive music, but for us those influences are the real fathers, the ones that we were interested in.

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

There's different levels of where we do well throughout Europe. Fortunately, for us, it's pretty great all throughout it.

We've seen progressive rock all over the world, in South America, Europe, Asia, across the US and North America and Australia. There's huge audiences for this stuff. For me it's always been there and it's just a matter of time before the people have more of the means to spread the word.
