A Lot Of Bands Whine About The

I Was Lucky Enough To Get To See Guys Like Bugs Henderson, Jimmy Wallace, All Those Great Texas Blues Players.

My Heroes Were Eddie Van Halen - Especially After Van Halen I, Ii, Iii, And Iv - Randy Rhoads, Ace Frehley And Dudes Like That. My Brother Played Drums And We Jammed In The Garage And Started Writing Our Own Stuff.

The Worst Advice I Ever Received From My Dad Was To Play By The Book. My Old Man Used To Flip Out Whenever I Would Try To Branch Out And Do Something Different. Although He Didn't Do It On Purpose, He Really Held Me Back In The Beginning.

Musicians Tend To Get Bored Playing The Same Thing Over And Over, So I Think It's Natural To Experiment.

If You Improvise A Riff And The Crowd Immediately Reacts To It, You Know You're On To Something.
