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.
One thing I've noticed over the years is that young players - I mean 10- and 12-year-olds - really like my guitar style. There's something in my guitar style that they totally can latch onto and learn quickly, and then go from there to your Yngwie Malmsteens or your Steve Vais or whatever.
A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.
Everyone has a side to them that's kind of unexplained and feels misunderstood.
I love 'True Blood.' I love 'The Walking Dead.' Those are fantastic series.
We wanted to offer something new to our audience. I hate it when bands stop taking chances.
