When you're first starting out, there's always the temptation to hide behind distortion because it lets you get away with murder. But, when it comes to rhythm work, you've gotta back off that gain control a bit, especially if you're playing with another guitarist.

I'm death obsessed. You know, I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!

I think it goes without saying that a lot of big horror fans are just nerds and geeks.

Although I'm a lead guitarist, I'd say that a good 95 percent of my time onstage is spent playing rhythm.

I love horror movies in space. I love it when the genre switches over and what was sci-fi becomes horror.

Horror movies started to wane around the onset of World War II, and after World War II, when all the troops came home, people weren't really interested in seeing horror movies, because they had the real horror right on their front doorsteps.

I went through a whole blues period in the Nineties, and that had some influence on 'Load' and 'ReLoad.'
