I've always stuck with Gibsons. I've had Guilds and Fenders, too, but I always wind up going back to Gibsons.
From Tommy Shaw
Once you start thinking about it in a mercenary frame of mind, then you're finished. You're a joke, because there are too many mercenaries out there already.
I like being on the road, living in hotels. While I've got a real nice house, I go crazy when I'm there.
When a song gets its legs and begins to come to me, this is the euphoric hook that keeps me wanting to continue.
I have always been a sucker for the big, upbeat chorus.
It is all about being open and paying attention to the music in your head. I think most people have original music playing in their heads from time to time.
Songwriting is the other weight on the opposite side of the scale from touring. They balance me out creatively.
We're kind of defined by our mistakes.
By the time I did that third solo album, I'd finally learned how to do it, but I'd also learned that I liked being in a band.
On acoustic guitar I tend to stay in the key of D for some reason. On electric guitar I keep basic: C, G, D, and A. The key of D minor is also real good for me.
