The era itself has nothing to do with anything. We weren't really attached to that at all. I just saw this thing where they had a Poison concert on VH1, and to me, that is being attached to an era.

My dad is a huge rock and roll lead guitar fan. I didn't even really know that until recently. Everything has to have a guitar solo in it.

There are people who have an image of me as being rude and inconsiderate. But I'm completely the opposite, because I was raised not to be. I might have been tripping over myself drunk, but I was always courteous.

I had no aspirations to be a musician, but I picked up a guitar for two seconds and haven't put it down since.

That's a wonderful side effect of leather pants: when you pee yourself in them, they're more forgiving than jeans.

I do all my interviews on the toilet.
