If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.

I'd play whenever I could get my hands on an electric guitar; I was trying to pick up rock'n'roll riffs and electric blues-the latest Muddy Waters. I'd spend hours and hours on the same track, back again, and back again.

I can sustain the impetus over the long tours we do is by feeding off the energy that we get back from an audience. That's my fuel. All i've got is this burning energy, especially when i've got a guitar in my hands.

Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole

The electric guitar was vital in helping what I've achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.
