I am affected by what is around. I don't think many people would admit that.
Great vocal track on "You can't cheat fate."
Even with Extreme, I don't think you have a choice but to sort of have somewhat of an influence of the times.
My current project is my band, Population 1. We are writing, rehearsing and playing in Los Angeles.
I think I'm a music fan before anything else.
If you play music for no other reason than actually just because you love it, the skills just kinda creep up on you.
