I Don't Make My Living Making Records. Maybe Someday I Will.

When I Learned To Play Music, I Was Listening To Blues Music. And All The Blues Music I Liked Was Super Simple And Stripped Down. And Then All The Hip Hop I Liked Was Super Simple And Stripped Down And We Always Heard That Connection.

It's Hard To Be Spontaneous When You Have 40 People In Your Crew, And You're Playing To 16,000 People Every Night, And There's Giant Lighting Rigs, It's Hard To Change Direction On A Dime.

I'm Not Too Picky About Guitars. I Love To Collect Them, Mostly Oddballs, But I'm Not Married To Any Brand Or Model. Whatever Guitar Has The Best Character For The Song Is The One I Want To Use, Because If You've Got A Style, You're Going To Sound Like Yourself No Matter What Guitar You Play.

I'm Certainly Not Your Typical Front-man Material. Some People Love Being On Stage And Really Open Up, And I'm Sort Of The Opposite Of That. I Don't Crave The Spotlight. I'm Still Not Comfortable Even Talking On Stage.
