I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going. We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.
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.
