I Was Lucky Enough To Get To

I'm Not Saying I Wouldn't Play A Seven-string. It's Just That I've Never Needed One. Most Dudes Who Play Seven-strings Don't Sound Any Different Than Someone Playing A Six-string That's Tuned Down.

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.

When I Tried To Play Something And Screwed Up, I'd Hear Some Other Note That Would Come Into Play. Then I Started Trying Different Things To Find The Beauty In It.

Lessons Didn't Really Work Out For Me, So I Went To The Old School, Listening To Records And Learning What I Wanted To Learn.

Pantera Is The Only Band I've Ever Been In, And At The Start We Used To Play Covers To Make A Living.
