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

Once I was playing and moving around and I fell right on my back. Just straight on my back. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life.

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.

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

I came in with a completely new perspective. I would write songs and they would pick tunes they felt were in the Purple vein.

When you come from the Midwest, you have a more open mind than if you come from the West Coast or the East Coast.
