I've always worn earplugs, but I'm sure my hearing's not great.

It's good to have certain restrictions sometimes, but it's definitely more fun to play really loud, with distortion.

Generally my songs are just some riffs slung together as an excuse for a guitar solo.

I have limited interests. I really like all sorts of gear. Guitar gear. Recording gear. Stuff like that. I like music, you know.

It seemed so wimpy at first when I started to play [guitar]. So I started playing loud with lots of effects just to try to mimic the dynamic [of the drums]. Drums seemed a lot more expressive. [I was] Trying to emulate the feeling of playing the drums on the guitar - I guess that's why I played it so loud.

When I play a solo I'm just expressing that moment. It can go horribly wrong easily enough.

I'd definitely be into doing some zombie slaying music. That'd be cool.
