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.

A lot of times I wish I would have learned to read music, but I'm very impatient.

I don't like English bands. They're too structured.

I used to listen a lot to Rolling Stones records and play along with them when I was first starting. It's a good way to learn, jamming around basic music.

I'd rather work than not.

You're in direct contact with the music by having the strings under your fingers. It's not mechanical like a piano.

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