After I changed the string we picked up right where we left off - and punched back in at the same time. I don't know if this has ever been done before. The engineer sort of looked at us weird, but we got it on the first take.

I'm just doing the best I can now to keep this going... trying to grow up and remain young at the same time.

You know, right now, the most important thing in my life is to make sure you understand that, first of all, I thank God I'm alive today, and I mean that. You see, I spent too many years of my life thinking that the big party was the whole thing.

Your sound is in your hands as much as anything. It's the way you pick, and the way you hold the guitar, more than it is the amp or the guitar you use.

I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard, and floor it. Floor it. That's technical talk.

I play as many different things - piano, sax and harp parts - as I can at once. Whatever I can fit, whenever I need to.

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