It isn't a band. It's bigger than a band. It's a lifestyle
If somebody says they really like my playing I say thanks a lot
You have to pay attention, like with tours and expenses; you have to factor that all in. You want to play music for the rest of your life, you have to pay attention to all the things. You want to know what's always going on.
Great musicians, you don't just hear them, you feel them. When I listen to Randy Rhoads, I feel every note. I learned a lot from him.
I'm excited to join my brother-in-law Ken Thomson every Tuesday night on SiriusXM to recap all of the awesome NFL action, and to find out what in the Wylde world of sports is going on.
For Black Label Special Opps, adversity is what you thrive on. General Patton is a huge fan favorite in Black Label.
I don't think it's ever changed, whether its Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller, Zeppelin, Guns n' Roses or anyone today, the reason why you get into music is because you love it, and if you're good at it, that's a plus.
For me, the music dictates the melody. Give me a riff to sing over, you know?
I'm just worried that there's enough beer on the bus. That's the top priority at all times.
The way I look at it you can always get better.
Without a doubt, even when I play with Black Label, when we have different guys I play with, everyone always brings their own magic, their own flavor to the soup, hands down.
