Every single band in the world has these gigantic songs that people are obsessed with.

You have got to make new music, that is the way that I look at it anyway.

I had to get out of my record deal that I signed with my previous band and get a full solo record deal going so, with all of the paperwork that, that entails it did take a while.

I acted in millions of TV shows.

The worst thing I ever wore, really, was rubber pants, but I don't think that was a cliche. They were just way too hot. Rubber doesn't breathe. I look back on my photos, and I dig them. I think I look really cool.

I mean, MTV or the mainstream media can tell you one thing, but when there are 40,000 people in front of you, who cares about all that?

My vocal style is called bel canto, which is an old Italian vocal style going back hundreds of years.
