I had redesigned my entire amplifier system for this tour because airlines are very strict now.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the crazy world of touring, if something gets stuck at customs, I can do a show with just my amp!
The music and airlines businesses are tough, but I've been successful in them.
The problem with taking amps to a shop is that they come back sounding like another amp.
I think airlines have been very much parrots. They'll just follow what everyone else is doing. Why change a model that they're happy in? And it takes someone like myself or Richard Branson who comes from outside the industry to say, 'Hey, let's try something new.'
If I don't get paid I'm going to take a whole lot of Marshall amps home with me on the plane.
I came from the music business, which reputedly has the biggest egos, but I really think the airline world caps it.
Airlines go in the long run at the competition to reason. For the passenger the competition is good, because each competitor tries to undercut the other one.
I'm still learning how to be comfortable touring. I haven't found that balance yet.
About the only thing that I'll probably end up doing is I made this amplifier with Peavey. It's in the manufacturing stages right now, and there are a lot of orders that we just got for it.
There's parts of touring I like. I like the actual performance part, but the bit when you're in the airport waiting at the carousel for your bags to come around, I don't like that a bit.
