If you listen to a Deadmau5 record or a Skrillex record, I really enjoy that stuff because, as aggressive sounding as the Skrillex records are, they're still musical, and that's why they have such a broad appeal.

The Telecaster doesn't really sound that good for the kind of rock and roll that a lot of people played.

I've always been at war with the guitar. All vocalists are fighting a war with the electric rhythm guitar.

There are a lot of really good guitar sounds and new kind atmospheres on the new Bon Jovi record. I think people are going to dig it, man. And it rocks hard.

Since the dawn of recorded music, every generation has felt shocked by the musical tastes of the next.

Music's cyclical. There's always that next generation that always comes along.

I've always loved the electric guitar: to hold it and work it and hear what it does is unreal.

The records that I like, they have life and warmth and soul in them. Like the slap back on Scotty Moore's guitar on 'Mystery Train.' You're not gonna get that in a computer. You're gonna want a live room, you're gonna wanna bounce the tape, you're gonna want real musicians, in a room, vibin' off of each other.

One ends up relying on pure musical inspiration, and failing that, the music won't lead to anything good, or it will alienate all but the most die-hard fans.

I think it gets boring (for the audience) for the lead singer to have a guitar hanging on them all the time.
