I am the consequence of a particular type of demographic movement, one that has always involved paying a high price. But I don't know much about styles or genres. I only know notes and chords.

I've created several musical trends, really. That's not because I'm so far out and fabulous. It's because most bands have no ideas of their own. They're so desperate they'll grab at any old straw.

I've played guitar in so many different styles, and I want to revisit them all.

I'm constantly evolving as a musician.

I want to make the music that people remember, and it doesn't need a trend; it doesn't need to be constantly hyped. There's no time period for it. That's the type of music I want to make.

I feel most comfortable keeping versatile when it comes to music genres.

When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.

I want a long career in music, so you've gotta keep trying things out; it's gotta get progressively better.

There's so many people that follow the trend, and then it gets to a point where it gets a little stale. So, in music; I mean, whoever's the new trendsetter, that's who people follow.

With guitar, bass and drums, you've got limited horizons.
