My first guitar was a Gretsch 6120, and I just loved listening to artists like Elvis, Chuck Berry and Stray Cats.

Chuck Berry doesn't give interviews.

My favorite guitar players are Chuck Berry and Brian May and Dave Davies from the Kinks.

The first rock stars were incredibly theatrical. Little Richard and Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley - they were theater artists.

I never liked blues and I really didn't like jazz. I liked Chuck Berry.

My influences were Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry.
