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'll hear something in my head, then eventually play it. But it's a subconscious thing. Most of the time I really don't know what I'm playing.

If you're not having fun it's not worth doing.

I learned a lot about lead; you don't have to blow your cookies in the first bar. It is much harder to be simple that to be complicated during solos.

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

I can't see. I used to wear glasses off stage. Now I'm thinking of getting a pair of contract lenses.

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.
