I liked what any other kid did back in the day. You know, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, and everything else that was on the radio in Michigan. There was a lot of Steely Dan; just a lot of great music inspired me.
I was a valet for celebrity parties.
Whenever you listen to a CD or an album, it gets tiresome hearing the same thing over and over and over again.
I started at such a young age learning every style of music, the country and the bluegrass and the western swing and the rock - everything.
Slayer just goes from generation to generation to generation, because it's just so great.
I really truly love all styles of music. A lot of people say that, but the first station they turn to when they get in the car is a rock station. I don't always do that. I really enjoy everything. But, of course, I'm a rock shred guitar player first.
