“I just wanted to play loud, fast, and rock and roll.”

“The blues is the foundation of everything I do. It's the root.”

“I think 'Snortin' Whiskey' is one of those songs that just has a life of its own. People just love it.”

“You've got to keep moving forward. You can't rest on what you did yesterday.”

“For me, it was always about the power of a three-piece band. There's so much space, and you have to fill it.”

“I never really thought about being a 'guitar hero.' I just wanted to play music that I liked.”

“The road is a tough place, but it's where you learn your craft.”

“It's all about the feel. It doesn't have to be technically perfect, it just has to have the right feel.”

“Technology has changed things, but a great song is still a great song.”

“When you're young, you think you're gonna live forever. Then you get older and you're not so sure.”
