I always loved rock guitar. I just never put it together that that's what I'd end up doing.
Rock n' roll is about attitude and rebellion. It's supposed to be fun and spontaneous.
When I see footage of Guns N' Roses, I see that fu**ing hunger and attitude. You could not f**k with those five guys. It was just raw. It was this lean, hungry thing on its way up. It was as sincere as any rock 'n' roll that I've ever heard, and I'm proud of that.
Drugs and sex go hand in hand when you're a rock and roll musician. Whereas if I were a violinist, it might be a little different.
I got into rock-and-roll because I wanted the chicks. The Dixie Chicks.
