I'm Constantly Being Influenced By

People Just Loved The Sound Because I Kept It Simple.

Every Time I Went Into The Studio Some Engineer Tried To Impress Me With How They're Going To Capture My Sound With All Kinds Of Tricks. But They Limited The Sound And Never Allowed Me To Play How I Felt.

I Met Leo Fender, Who Is The Guru Of All Amplifiers, And He Gave Me A Stratocaster. He Became A Second Father To Me.

Music Is An Attitude. It's A Sensation To The Average Person, To The Human Being. And Keep It Simple, Stupid. That's Always Been My Theory.

I Used To Be A Mean Maniac. Someone Once Threw A Firecracker At A Show And I Jumped Off The Side Of The Stage And Whacked 'em On The Side Of The Head.
