bigger bit gamble grunge huge music people respond
Yes, it's a bit of a gamble that people are going to respond to the album, but I think that grunge has run its course. That's not to say our music is going to be huge today, but we have a much bigger chance, because people will be more open-minded.
hero guitar important
Being a songwriter, singer, and a great part of a unit is more important than being Joe Guitar Hero.
doors fields musician
The Internet has definitely opened doors and leveled the playing field for musicians.
guitar worn
I like my guitars to be kinda worn. I don't like it when they're all shiny.

I don't know how anyone could vote Republican. It's so obvious that their only interest is keeping the rich rich.

I actually knew I was going to be perfect for Def Leppard, sorry I hate to say that but I knew it.

It's a lot more comfortable, I must say. Ummm, I didn't think I'd be playing with another band, I kinda thought I was through with that, but I make an exception because they're nice people.
