Jeff Beck Is One Of My Heroes

For The 'load' Album, I Was Experimenting So Much With Tone That I Had To Keep Journals On What Equipment I Was Using. For 'hero Of The Day', I Know I Used A 1958 Les Paul Standard With A Matchless Chieftain, Some Boogie Amps And A Vox Amp - Again, They're All Blended.

The Movie 'black Cat,' From 1934, Is One Of My Favorite Movies.

Musically, There's A Movement Called The Flatted Fifth That's Really Evil-sounding. It Was Outlawed By The Catholic Church During The Middle Ages. That Movement Is What Gives You A Real Evil Sound That Conjures Up Dark, Fantastic Images. It's Like An Audio Horror Movie. It Personifies What A Horror Movie Is About.

When I Got My First Marshall Amp, It Was So Empowering. No One Ever Forgets Their First Marshall Amp If You're A Guitar Player Pursuing A Big Powerful Sound. I Mean, No One Ever Forgets Their First Marshall Amp.

I Think The Whole Concept Behind Lyrics Is You Better Mean What You Say, Or You Should Like, Become A Storyteller. I Mean, There's A Lot Of Bands Who Are Just Storytellers, And Then There Are Bands Who Actually Have Something Valid To Say. And The Bands Who Have Valid Points Are Few And Far Between.
