A lot of times, when a band finds success with a certain style or sound, they have a really hard time breaking away from that to grow as artists.

So, I just kind of played the way I played and then eventually we kind of figured out what worked best for the band. So, I definitely changed my stuff up and I think we're playing really tight now.

I guess by taking lessons early on, and really trying to play all the rudimentary stuff, and try to have it sound as good as my teacher. It took a lot of practice, which I enjoyed, and still do.

Creatively, I thought we were still viable and could do more records. But our working relationship just wasn't happening at all, and our chemistry as people broke down because of that.

I try and stay limber, swim, run, ride motorcycles.

Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.

When I first went on tour with PJ in '98, I was still in shock having gone through the Soundgarden break up.
