If you copy then it is not self-expression.

I have made stage adjustments which allow me to hear myself better onstage so that has made playing live much more enjoyable.

If you are in a band like my brother, Rudolf, who is in the Scorpions, then you have a kind of umbrella and you cover each other. You have five people to discuss things with and you are all in the same boat, and therefore make much wiser choices.

If you copy then it is not self-expression.

Even when I was very depressed, I could hold on to something. It seems that I have always had that streak of gold that I could hold on to.

If you don't get on the field and play then you will be missing out.

It would be a dream come true if I could just go from studio to studio and play solos.
