Alice asked me to his bus one time to sit me down and talk about how out of control I was during So Far, So What, and I kind of didn't want to hear it. I was like, 'but, but, but, I want to drink and I want to smoke. It's the rock 'n' roll dream. What are you talking about?' I appreciate it now. He just didn't want me to make the same mistakes he did. |

I do have a feeling about bands that cannot get it on, ... When I was a kid, I had guitar heroes: Jimmy Page, Michael Schenker, Angus Young. Hot players. You can't name one guitar player in any of the new bands that is a virtuoso. |
I don't want to be disrespectful to the partners I had, ... They're all very talented, and they've all had a hand in my success. ... Some of them I don't like, and some of them don't like me, but I respect them all. |
I like jazz, but I could never play it. You just sit there with a guitar the size of a Chevy on your chest, wearing a stupid hat, playing the same solo for an hour. |
I think I'd make a better president than George Bush. I'll tell you what, George Bush and Dick Cheney have been to jail more times than I have, and I used to shoot heroin, now what does that tell you? |
I'm kind of a huge asshole and.... |
If you guys are going to be throwing beer bottles at us, at least make sure they're full. |
It's not how big your pencil is; it's how you write your name. |
Moving on, is a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard. |
Next thing you know they'll take your thoughts away. |
People in the music business, in America, are talking bad about Bush…you know what? Shut the f**k up! You're a musician; you don't know a thing about running a country! If there would have been a better man to run the States right now, we would have picked him, it's a democratic process. There are a couple of guys who run for office, everybody picks him, he goes to the next level. Shut up, he's the f**king president! There's gonna be an election, if you don't like him go for the other guy. Don't sit back there and just piss and moan. I see all these guys like Michael Moore going off and I'm like, 'Dude, you don't have a f***ing idea about what you're talking about.' |
The Bible and several other self help or enlightenment books cite the Seven Deadly Sins. They are: pride, greed, lust, envy, wrath, sloth, and gluttony. That pretty much covers everything that we do, that is sinful... or fun for that matter. |
There's always that oil and water thing going on, ... You don't know if people are going to congeal. Fortunately it's been great. |
There's such friendship with us, ... We get along famously. It doesn't seem real. I'm sure there's been a point in my life that I've been happier, but it probably involved drugs or women ... I feel like a stupid kid who's just had his first orgasm. I love playing with my band guys. |
