I Have Enough To Think About -

Everything I Do Is Metal. When I Clean My House, It's Metal.

I'm Just Not A Big Fan Of The Too-cool-for-school Indie World. Metal Bands Have Never Been Invited Or Been Able To Be Part Of The Cool Kids, And I Like It That Way.

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.

Nobody Gets Into A Band And Thinks They're Going To Have A 30-year Career.

I Will Absolutely Say That Johnny Ramone Was A Huge Influence On Me. I'm A Giant Ramones Fan.
