You know, when you really connect with the instrument and everything just comes out on an emotional level very naturally through your playing. That's, you know, a great night. And I think the reason I love touring so much is you're chasing that high around all the time, trying to have another good night.
Guitar is the best form of self-expression I know. Everything else, and I'm just sort of tripping around, trying to figure my way through life.
I had no aspirations to be a musician, but I picked up a guitar for two seconds and haven't put it down since.
Guitars are like women. You'll never get them totally right.
As for Guns N' Roses, I don't think there's ever a chance of a reunion.
I never want to draw attention to myself, but that's all I do.
Risk isn't a word in my vocabulary. It's my very existence.
And, so, when I picked up the guitar, suddenly, just playing a couple of notes really, really spoke to me. It was almost like I should have been doing it prior to that. You know, it was something that just felt really natural.
I don't believe in having regrets.
A lot of vices that I've had over the years were always to make up for some sort of character deficiency, one of them being shyness.
We had a really vast music collection and I was raised around rock'n'roll, it's just the way it was.
I'm not overly greedy.
I always loved rock guitar. I just never put it together that that's what I'd end up doing. I had no aspirations to be a musician, but I picked up a guitar for two seconds and haven't put it down since.
The only time I think I've ever gotten sick of playing Guns and Roses songs really was during - after having played them in Guns and Roses, and then in Snakepit, and then playing 'It's So Easy' and 'Brownstone' in Velvet Revolver.
I think that was the whole idea behind doing the solo record was to be able to do musically whatever I wanted to do.
