I Didn't Follow Any Rules At All.

Eddie Van Halen Was Probably The Most Influential.

My Early Influences Were The Shadows, Who Were An English Instrumental Band. They Basically Got Me Into Playing And Later On I Got Into Blues And Jazz Players. I Liked Clapton When He Was With John Mayall. I Really Liked That Period.

I Didn't Follow Any Rules At All. I Made My Own.

In The Past, I'd Sort Of Know Before Ozzy Sang Something, What He Was Going To Sing. I'd Know What Sort Of Way A Melody Was Going To Go 'cause Of The Way He'd Approach It.

It Has Always Been My Goal To Believe In What I Do And Love What I Do And Be True To That.
