Frank Zappa... Was Beethoven For Insane Rock

I Could Care Less About Sitting Around And Practicing The Guitar For Hours A Day And Trying To Be The Best Guitar Player On The Planet.

I'm Certainly Not A Practicing Jew. I Would Never Claim, 'i'm Jewish.' That's Not The First And Foremost Thing In My Mind, As Far As Who I Am As A Person.

When You're Younger - Duh - You Don't Really Have The Tools To Deal With Certain Things In Your Life.

People Think Of Jews As The Woody Allen Stereotype, The Nebbishy Kind Of Thing, But That's Not The Kind Of Jews I Know. I Know Plenty Of Israelis And Plenty Of Tough Guys That Are Jewish. So, I Think It Makes Sense That Jews Play Metal.

A Guitar For Me Is Pretty Much Strictly In The Context Of Writing Songs For My Band, Coming Up With Ideas With My Band, And Then Being Able To Perform Those Songs As Best As I Can On Stage - That's What The Guitar For Me Has Always Been.
