There is no substitute for jamming and getting to know each other on the road.

I have a little history. I met Stone Temple Pilots, and their guitar player was a huge Extreme fan. Somewhere down the road, Extreme made its statement.

I don't know if I have enough guts to do a whole standard jazz record.

There is nothing like singing a song that 20,000 people know and are singing back to you.

You have Extreme and Van Halen and the history that I have with other people I played with. There are some effects that will hopefully break that stereotype.

Spitfire asked me if I had a problem talking about Van Halen or Extreme. I really don't. There are people who are just going to want to know what it was like to play with Eddie.
