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

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.

Just because you know umpteen billion scales, it doesn't mean you have to use them all in a solo.

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

If a guitar is too easy for me to play, it makes me too laid back. I like to battle with my guitar.

I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going. We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.
