[My favorite decade] probably the '60s, because there were hardly any rules and heroin hadn't shown up, so people hadn't started dying. It was incredibly upbeat, and we almost did change the world. I guess that was the best one .

It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.

They [The Beatles] were the first band to not have a lead singer in the band.

Music had been going on a long time before that. You have to remember that before rock n' roll there were a bunch of jazz musicians all doing heroin. That sh*t has been around a long time.

Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you

Randy [ Rhoads] had small hands. Boy, could he play guitar. He became an even better guitar player after he died.

It's just that I am too old now to chase all the woman involved; which just seems a shame.
