Just because you know umpteen billion scales, it doesn't mean you have to use them all in a solo.
We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.
The main riff for 'SandMan' was just something I wrote one night.
For the 'Load' album, I was experimenting so much with tone that I had to keep journals on what equipment I was using. For 'Hero of the Day', I know I used a 1958 Les Paul Standard with a Matchless Chieftain, some Boogie amps and a Vox amp - again, they're all blended.
I think it goes without saying that a lot of big horror fans are just nerds and geeks.
Getting sequestered and not really knowing what to do with your time and then discovering, 'Oh, I can watch a bunch of horror movies' has probably played out in a lot of people's discovery of horror.
