Jeff Beck is my idol .. sometimes he finds notes that I just do not have on my guitar. Frank Zappa's another one .. I loved Frank Zappa ... I do think Van Halen reinvented the guitar ... he's an excellent musician, a shrewd guitarist and as a person he's wonderful.

Simplicity is the key.

When you've toured for about 10 years like me, you end up feeling like you're always waiting for somebody or something. The whole day is a drag

Playing a Fender is an art itself. They're always going out of tune.

I like leaping around on stage as long as it's done with class. None of this jumping up in the air and doing the splits

But you have to give your whole life to a cello. When I realized that, I went back to the guitar and just turned the volume up a bit louder.

I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.
