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

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

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

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.

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

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

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