Guitars are like women. You'll never get them totally right.

As for Guns N' Roses, I don't think there's ever a chance of a reunion.

Risk isn't a word in my vocabulary. It's my very existence.

Rock n' roll is about attitude and rebellion. It's supposed to be fun and spontaneous.

I was the one that allegedly "quit and joined my old band." That wasn't true. But it was said so matter-of-factly on the Internet that the guys weren't really sure what I was up to.

The only difference is that, in the last 10 years, the public has been so affected by reality TV and the Internet. They really dwell on entertainers' misgivings.

When I was a kid, a lot of my parents' friends were in the music business. In the late '60s and early '70s - all the way through the '70s, actually - a lot of the bands that were around had kids at a very young age. So they were all working on that concept way early on. And I figured if they can do it, I could do it, too.
