Some people think a song without words isn’t a real song. Tell that to Beethoven and he’ll kick your ass!

Eddie Van Halen

It’s always a Catch-22 situation. They hate you if you’re the same, and they hate you if you’re different.

I’ll always leave the same set of strings on my guitars when I’m recording. If I break one I’ll just replace it instead of putting on a whole new set of strings.

It’s all about sound. It’s that simple. Wireless is wireless, and it’s digital. Hopefully somewhere along the line somebody will add more ones to the zeros. When digital first started, I swear I could hear the gap between the ones and the zeros.
