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 the whole concept behind lyrics is you better mean what you say, or you should like, become a storyteller. I mean, there's a lot of bands who are just storytellers, and then there are bands who actually have something valid to say. And the bands who have valid points are few and far between.

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

The main riff for 'SandMan' was just something I wrote one night.

We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.

For me, one of the most perfect times to watch a horror movie is when it's cold and raining outside and there's pretty much no outdoor activity to be done. It kind of sets the mood.

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