I Grew Up In The Suburbs Of

After 12 Intense Years Of Rock Music, I Was Happy To Get Away From Making A Record And Going Out On A Tour. When I Did It, I Wanted To Feel Inspired. After A While I Finally Had My Fill Working On Other People's Music, And I Started Coming Up With Music On My Own And Said, 'this Could Be For Me.

The Music Industry Is Not What It Used To Be. Being In A Good Band Is Great, And I've Been Lucky To Be In Great Bands. I've Done Solo Stuff, And That's Been Great. I Also Produce Rock Bands And I Do Co-writes, Where I Write With Different Singers In Bands And Songwriters.

All Of The Music Works On Its Own, But It Doesn't Really Make As Much Sense Without The Picture.

We Have A Partnership Deal With New Line Records, Which Is Part Of New Line Cinema, And... I Worked On That.

It's Much Easier To Work On Other People's Music And Play In Other People's Bands As A Guitar Player Instead Of Being The Main Songwriter And Singer. That's A Really Big Job To Do That.
