I'm not a guy to go in the studio and spend months, let alone years, like some people do. I cannot even be in the studio for a month, it will drive me nuts.
I'm just getting older and better.
I haven't stopped playing. If you play all the time, then your chops are up and you tend to grow.
I am not a pop musician; I don't want to play bubble-gummy pop stuff.
I've got the recording process down, and I can knock it out very quickly.
The best part was watching Journey grow into this monster. The band was huge, playing these enormous gigs.
