“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.

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

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.

I don’t see how an article of clothing can be indecent. A person, yes.

How many things we held yesterday as articles of faith which today we tell as fables.

I’m going to change the way martial arts is viewed. I’m going to change the game. I’m going to change the way people approach fighting.

I was able to come up with a couple articles for the magazine, I was able to solicit help from a bunch of my friends to contribute pieces: Patton Oswalt, Seth Green, Emo Phillips, Chris Hardwick, John Hodgman, and more.

TV and film taught me to think cinematically. Teaching others to edit, for example, provides a great deal of insight into the millions of ways in which given elements can be put together to tell a story.

It’s hard to say, I picked one of my favorite articles for the MAD vault. Which is one of the features of the Magazine so they don’t have to actually pay artists or writers to come up with new stuff.

Criticism, even when you try to ignore it, can hurt. I have cried over many articles written about me, but I move on and I don’t hold on to that.
