What are some stereotypes attached to you or your music that are completely untrue?
That I'm a lover of the instrument of guitar. Musical instruments, and equipment in general, bore me to tears. I'm a song guy, a melody guy, a lover of the magic of music. I don’t care with what instrument its played, or what genre the music may fall into. I love a good pizza but I have no interest in the oven it was cooked in. I just happen to play guitar, and I use it to write for all instruments.
When you play in a completely new location, what do you expect from the audience?
New locations are very rare for me, and I have no idea what to expect in India. From all accounts I've heard, the people are just amazing. Judging by your questions, I can tell there is a deep appreciation for music. I am sure my gratitude for being invited to India will reach the audience.
Largely, the world recognizes you as a heavy metal icon. But you've actually done things like play with Astor Piazzolla's grandson, among other things. Not to mention your love for Japanese pop. What keeps you reaching for such variation in your craft?
I keep searching for the magic in music, something new and unique that I could possibly be a part of. I am very afraid that I will find some of that "magic" in India and that will set me off in a whole new direction...
