Even with Extreme, I don't think you have a choice but to sort of have somewhat of an influence of the times.

Great vocal track on "You can't cheat fate."

I am affected by what is around. I don't think many people would admit that.

I definitely get affected by new stuff. There's a lot of older influences, but there's also newer stuff too.

If you play music for no other reason than actually just because you love it, the skills just kinda creep up on you.

I think I'm a music fan before anything else.
