Although I'm A Lead Guitarist,

Basically I Just Had To Say, 'screw Everyone Around Me - From Now On I'm Just Gonna Play What I Think Is Important To Me And Our Music.' So I Gave The Big Finger To All The Current Trends In Technical Wizardry, And Just Went Off And Did What I Felt Was Best For The Songs.

Guitar Playing Is Both Extremely Easy For Me And Extremely Difficult For Me At The Same Time.

When I Got My First Marshall Amp, It Was So Empowering. No One Ever Forgets Their First Marshall Amp If You're A Guitar Player Pursuing A Big Powerful Sound. I Mean, No One Ever Forgets Their First Marshall Amp.

I Love Horror Movies In Space. I Love It When The Genre Switches Over And What Was Sci-fi Becomes Horror.

I Would Have To Say I'm Bored With The Standard Rock, Guitar Solos, But I've Done It For Five Albums Now, And This Time I Wanted To Go In A Completely Different Direction. I Wasn't Interested In Showing Off Any More.
