I prefer cynical people. Nice guys grow on trees.
Generally my songs are just some riffs slung together as an excuse for a guitar solo.
I was just reading about Paul Simon in 'Uncut', and it was fascinating. I never think about him much or think about his music or anything, but it's interesting to hear his ideas on stuff.

I play a Fender Jazzmaster and three stacks and a combo, two old Marshall Plexis and a Hiwatt combo and a Hiwatt combo with Marshall cabs.
'No Bones' has some reverb that I kick around.
