The guitar part is the pivot of everything we do, so if you change the guitar part you no longer have what it is.

To me there's a definite way of doing a song. If I didn't think that, I wouldn't have done it that way in the first place.

During my early period I had custom-made overdrive stuff because I didn't like what they were making at the time.

Music has nothing to do with your technical ability.

While I was with Procol Harum, the only time I'd see my guitar was either when I walked onstage or in the studio.

My energy flagged because of heavy cold but the guys took up the slack.

Once I've settled on something I'll stay with that at least throughout the whole tour.
