“Songs, ideas, even paintings are pouring out of me.”

Over the years but are far too elaborate to cover in one article.

Digital for storage and quickness.

Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

King Crimson is never easy; it’s challenging. That’s why I like it.

I love drums and still play frequently.

My heart and soul are in the Stratocaster.

Someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others.

My inspiration and usual subject matter: life.

Currently I’m working with Parker Fly on a new Midi guitar to arrive next year.

I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn’t be able to sound like.

And taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.

Yes, but don’t forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

My favorite puzzle is trying to work out the parts myself, after all it is a solo effort.

I’ve developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.

Nothing juices me up creatively like being in my own studio for an extended period.

I have no secrets; all of these things have been discussed at length in guitar magazines.

You have to love it more than you ever thought of loving something that wasn’t a human being. The demands will kick you down and rob your life – but yet, it is so rewarding.

I dislike religion quite intensely. It’s been the cause of all the grief in the world ever since they discovered the first stone to worship.

I ain’t ever had a job, I just always played baseball.

I’m fed up with the idiots… the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.

The thing about death is it’s so final, isn’t it, really? As far as we know… Nobody has ever come back and told us about it.

No one has ever drowned in sweat.

I don’t think I’ll ever act again. I have so many wonderful memories, but those days are over.

I don’t think comedy will ever die.
