I don't play with a lot of finesse. I usually play like I'm breaking out of jail!

What I am trying to get across to you; is please take of yourselves and those that you love; because that is what we are hear for, that's all we got, and that is all we can take with us. Are you with me?

If you hit the front end on the right-hand side you could turn that one on by itself and if you hit on the left-hand side you could turn it on and off. And in the middle it was like serious overdrive.

I was taught to think the next week or month or year will only get better than it is today. So I just keep waiting to see how great it will get!

The way I play, I go through a set in a year. So I put '58 Gibson Jumbo Bass frets on all my necks.

Some people don't understand that but it's nice when it really just gets to the point then that it [music] doesn't get played so much that you're overdoing a lot of things; that it's fresh ideas. And they come out fresh and if you're already in the mode, I guess, to simplify some things so that it comes across better on record, it's the right time to be tasteful with somethin'.

I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn't death.
