I'm in a band. I have the basic idea, but when you surround yourself with really good players, why would I tell anyone what to play, because they're that good. They don't tell me what to play. They might encourage me, so that's what I do. I encourage them.

When I do interviews, I always go in with the attitude that something good can happen from it.

Madison Square Garden sounds like crap.

I prefer to be an equal-opportunity offender of the guitar.

I'm quite an example. I have four kids, all from the same wife, all from the same husband.

Soundgarden and Metallica, The Ramones, Everclear... I think they all wanted to see if we still knew how to play.
