I don't play by those rules; I'm my own worst enemy sometimes. There's something in me that has to go against the grain. You know, I don't like to be a dead fish, swimming with all the other dead fish, I like to go upstream sometimes, against the flow.

I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.

Stevie Ray Vaughan was very intense. Maybe that's what caught everybody's attention. As a player, he didn't do anything amazing.

I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.

In my early days, I never used finger vibrato at all. I originally carved my reputation as one of the 'fast' guitar players.
