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

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.

I'm very fortunate to be doing the thing I do best, which is play guitar. There aren't many other things I could do.

Guitar playing is both extremely easy for me and extremely difficult for me at the same time.

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

When I got my first Marshall amp, it was so empowering. No one ever forgets their first Marshall amp if you're a guitar player pursuing a big powerful sound. I mean, no one ever forgets their first Marshall amp.
