I've never done a solo tour. I feel like getting out there and doing that.
What I have is a bunch of really hungry, amazingly talented guys that can kick anybody's rear end.
I am not a pop musician; I don't want to play bubble-gummy pop stuff.
Beyond the Thunder is the closest I've recorded to an acoustic thing.
The heavy guitars are the ones that sound good. They are not that comfortable, but they do sound great.
Nobody's perfect. Everyone slides here and there, and they have their ups and downs. When they are down, that is not the time to step all over them.
