Originally, I Wanted To Call The Band

My Dad Is A Huge Rock And Roll Lead Guitar Fan. I Didn't Even Really Know That Until Recently. Everything Has To Have A Guitar Solo In It.

I Was The One That Allegedly "quit And Joined My Old Band." That Wasn't True. But It Was Said So Matter-of-factly On The Internet That The Guys Weren't Really Sure What I Was Up To.

Risk Isn't A Word In My Vocabulary. It's My Very Existence.

I Love Playing Music As Much As If Not More So Than I Did When I Was 19; That Compared To Most Of My Peers Is Pretty Surprising. I Wake Up Every Day And Get Really Excited About Doing Stuff That I Have Been Doing For The Last 30 Years. I Just Love It.

The Last Time I Talked To Axl Was In 1996. That Was The Last Time We Exchanged Any Sort Of Words. There Was A Rumor That I Talked To Him A While Back [and Asked To Rejoin The Band]. I Did Go To His House One Night, And I Talked To His Assistant About Something That Had To Do With This Lawsuit That We Were Involved In. But It Got Turned Into Something Else. He Went Out And Made A Press Release That Said I Actually Spoke To Him, Which Was All Bullshit. I Was Really Shocked.
