music play way
I play the way I do cause it allows me to come up w/ the sickest sounds possible. That's the point now isn't it?
guitar giving wife
My first wife said, 'It's either that guitar or me,' you know -- and I give you three guesses which one went.
trying woe privacy
I cherish my privacy, and woe betide anyone who tries to interfere with that.
long matter originals
As long as there's something original going on, that's all that matters.
machines sound exciting
If you can make it sound exciting with a joke drum machine, you know you've got something.
music emotion notes
The Strat covers the complete spectrum of human emotion .. the tremolo enables you to do anything - you can hit any note known to mankind
song jobs mistake
I don’t care about the rules. In fact, if I don’t break the rules at least ten times in every song, then I’m not doing my job properly. Emotion is much more important than making mistakes, so be prepared to look like a chump. If you become too guarded and too processed, the music loses its spontaneity and gut feeling
mcdonalds music-is disposable
Nowadays music is as disposable as a McDonald's wrapper.
soul sound spirit
A lot of solos I hear sound so incredible, but they sound like somebody practicing. They sound a bit soulless - fiery, but at the same time, lacking in spirit and soul.
home play saws
After I saw Jimmy [Hendrix] play, I just went home and wondered what the f*** I was going to do with my life.
rocks long missing
I've never stuck around long enough to know if anyone would miss me. That's rock 'n' roll, though. Here today, gone tomorrow.
music guitar woods
That old funny-shaped bit of wood is still staring me in the face every day saying 'come on, you haven't started yet!' It's infinite.
sometimes organize turns
Things turn out better by accident sometimes. But you can't organize accidents.
guitar years people
I don't understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound. Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off.
