As far as I'm concerned, it's no good being able to wail out smokin' leads if your rhythm chops hugg!
Each track has to be precise, and that is a problem on a rhythmically complex track like 'Slaughtered.'
A lot of bands whine about the road and how tough it is.
I do some three-part harmonies on 'Throes of Rejection' and 'Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks,' but I didn't go overboard with it.
Spittin' blood, smokin' guitars, fire everywhere - Kiss is where I started.
I'm not a super blues player, but I was exposed to the Texas blues sound while I was growing up, and that definitely rubbed off on me.
Between the record companies being the way they are and the fact that people can just download one song instead of buying a whole album, it's hard to make a good living nowadays.
Glen Tipton and K.K. Downing are the gods of double-guitar axemanship.
