For a while I was collecting Satan and devil stuff - you know, anything that had to do with old Beelzebub or Lucifer. But I had to put the brakes on it, because there's a lot of stuff out there, and the collection was just growing too quickly.

Guitar players in the nineties seem to be reacting against the technique oriented eighties.

It's definitely true that Stevie Ray Vaughan is one of my all-time favorite guitarists.

I love this pedal to death. The only way you could keep me from playing one is by chopping off my legs!

I would have to say I'm bored with the standard rock, guitar solos, but I've done it for five albums now, and this time I wanted to go in a completely different direction. I wasn't interested in showing off any more.

Ampeg made incredible guitar heads in the early Nineties and then stopped. And I don't know why. The one we used had a nice clean, warm sound, and it blended well with the other amps that were in the studio.

I think it's morally wrong to keep someone away from what keeps him happy.
