Frank Zappa... was Beethoven for insane rock guys.

To me, the guitar is a tool for songwriting, and it's fun, too. The day that it's not fun, that's when I'm not gonna play guitar anymore.

At some point around '94 or '95, 'Rolling Stone' said that guitar rock was dead and that the Chemical Brothers were the future. I think that was the last issue of 'Rolling Stone' I ever bought.

I've always been a true believer that if men had babies, nobody would be trying to tell them what they can and can't do with their bodies.

I don't even know who that person was in the '80s. I see pictures of myself from back then and I don't even recognize myself.

As big as Metallica are, they're still not like a pop act. As big as they are, they're still not U2 or Lady Gaga. It's still underground.

I could care less about sitting around and practicing the guitar for hours a day and trying to be the best guitar player on the planet.
