When I first colored my hair, my mother loved it. I got kicked out of school when I was 15, just for my hair.

For me, practice isn't doing scales but doing things like writing, jamming with other people, or playing gigs.

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

I think the way I play the guitar is very percussive. I play a lot of rhythm chops as though I were playing congas or something.

Blues teaches you to develop coherent solos, because the form you're playing over is so basic. You have to develop leads that go someplace.

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

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.
