Quote

The idea of actually taking sharp turns left and right has always intrigued me, but I've never really been bold enough to do that.

Led Zeppelin has been there through three generations of teenage angst. And there's a generation of kids now who won't know it, post-Linkin Park.

I am a reflection of what I sing. Sometimes I have to get serious because the things Ive been through are serious.
