I play the way I do because it allows me to come up with the sickest sounds possible. That's the point now isn't it?

We haven't played in Brookings before. But we have gotten a lot of requests from student to come and play.

I cherish my privacy, and woe betide anyone who tries to interfere with that.

If you were to plot my success or failure, it goes, it very seldom stays on a high plateau.

I don't understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound. Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off.

If I'm on form and I'm not being bothered too much by mental problems or whatever, I can whip out something good. That's why I've done quite a few overdubs for Tina Turner and things like that, because even before she made this comeback I said yes to her, just because I love Tina Turner.
