Just Because You Know Umpteen Billion Scales,

A Life Lived Unexplored Is A Life Not Worth Living.

I Went Through A Whole Blues Period In The Nineties, And That Had Some Influence On 'load' And 'reload.'

I Would Have To Say I'm Bored With The Standard Rock, Guitar Solos, But I've Done It For Five Albums Now, And This Time I Wanted To Go In A Completely Different Direction. I Wasn't Interested In Showing Off Any More.

Ampeg Made Incredible Guitar Heads In The Early Nineties And Then Stopped. And I Don't Know Why. The One We Used Had A Nice Clean, Warm Sound, And It Blended Well With The Other Amps That Were In The Studio.

For The 'load' Album, I Was Experimenting So Much With Tone That I Had To Keep Journals On What Equipment I Was Using. For 'hero Of The Day', I Know I Used A 1958 Les Paul Standard With A Matchless Chieftain, Some Boogie Amps And A Vox Amp - Again, They're All Blended.
