When I got to LA and was with the James Gang, I got the opportunity to write a lot, to play in front of large audiences, make some money.

I want the new band to work together for a while, and when we're ready we'll invite every major record company to see us.

I started on drums when I was 13 and played them for two years. Then I went to guitar for a year, played keyboards for a year and a half, and went back to guitar.

All the different styles I've played have really helped me as a guitarist and helped me develop my own way of playing.

My family were all musicians. I really wasn't interested in school or anything.

I can't do anything but play guitar.

I blew my voice out and the doctor said, don't even talk for a week.
